Joint development arrangements between (ostensible) competitors are always fascinating. As I'm usually operating in the tech and software sphere, I've seen my share of Memorandums of Understanding, Joint Development Agreements, Licensing arrangements and everything in-between. I wound up doing a Virtual Legality episode on my experiences and what I see as the quid pro quo laid out in the press release.
I think it is, I remember him from the old site.
Sony games running on Microsoft hardware essentially means that Sony will be going 3rd party in the future.Smart move by Sony:
- Xbox basically lost a major talking point thanks to this deal
- They can save resources and focus on other areas
Must be awkward working at Xbox right now, seems like Microsoft doesn't have that much confidence in Xbox, when they rather want to make deals with their competitors than to protect Xbox's unique advantages. Yikes.
Are you trying to make a dumber post than the one you quoted?Sony games running on Microsoft hardware essentially means that Sony will be going 3rd party in the future.
Because You cannot negotiate with a tiger when your head is in its mouth.
This thread already messed that up lol.Hopefully this sets an anti console wars precedent going forward.
all that plus psvue ,psn anything a sony console connect online will be azure nowSo does this point to PSN moving over to Azure? PSNow is a pretty safe bet I'd imagine. But if so how awkward would moving PSN over be?
Have you read this thread? Half the people in here are trying to use this news as a victory lap for preferred platformHopefully this sets an anti console wars precedent going forward. It's great that two of the largest companies with an interest in gaming are willing to work together

Maybe Sony is more confident in MS cloud infrastructure and their knowledge/experience in the gaming space more than in Googles?

That is the dream! It would be pretty great.all that plus psvue ,psn anything a sony console connect online will be azure now
But if Azure got them a better deal/better product, that makes all the difference.Is interesting they did go with azure. AWP makes more since since at least right now Amazon isn't a direct competitor.
It would be a huge risk for something that is ultimately out of their control. AWS could end up better but what if it's worse what does Sony do then? Sony doesn't gain anything from Amazon competing with Microsoft and it would have been up to Amazon to win Sony as a customer.Is interesting they did go with azure. AWP makes more since since at least right now Amazon isn't a direct competitor.
im mean sure contract/agreements are different but sony and nintendo had a contract and look how that turned out.I think it would be a mistake to assume too much at this point. All they've announced is a Memorandum of Understanding. They are firmly in an exploratory phase right now. No one has signed any contracts.

Even Sony recognising Microsoft's greatness in the cloud arena.
