Rivals in gaming, Microsoft and Sony team up on cloud services.
Source: techcrunch.com/2019/05/16/rivals-...-services/ The official team-up, documented in a memorandum of understanding, was announced today, though details are few. But this is clear enough: The two companies will explore joint development of future cloud solutions in Microsoft Azure to support their respective game and content-streaming services. In addition, the two companies will explore the use of current Microsoft Azure datacenter-based solutions for Sony's game and content-streaming services. Of course there is no doubt that Sony could have gone with a number of other cloud services for its gaming-on-demand services. It already runs one, PlayStation Now, but the market is expected to expand over the next few years much like cord cutters have driven traditional TV and movie watchers to Netflix and other streaming services. Expansion would surely prove expensive and complicated Speaking of which, the two companies also plan to collaborate on imaging, combining Sony's sensor tech with Microsoft's AI work. This is bound to find its way to applications in robotics and autonomous vehicles, though competition is fierce there, and neither company has a real branded presence. Perhaps they aim to change that... together. I think that Sony and Microsoft coming together would be great. Google new device could become a threat later on (which it seems no one really cares for the new device Google has coming out). But they could both out beat Google for sure. Sony and Microsoft are two of the biggest consoles. People either love Xbox or Playstation. Yes there is Nintendo as well. We shall see what their next move is. Hopefully Sony will finally get over the whole Microsoft soft thing and team up. |

| Yes I agree, Sony needs to stop acting so independent and start collaborating more with other companies. |
