XxEvil AshxX Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella have confirmed a memorandum of understanding that will allow the two companies to explore joint development on cloud and AI technologies. Specifically, in finding ways to incorporate Microsoft's Azure cloud services in Sony products. Even if they lose, MS wins... it's what they do.

Rodimus Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I would be worried for any company that partners up with Microsoft. History has shown that only Microsoft can survive a failed partnership. Although this seems more like Apple buying Sony cameras for their iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If cloud processing and streaming is indeed the future, they're already woefully behind Google and Microsoft. They don't have the infrastructure to be competitive, and both they and Microsoft know it. Microsoft probably isn't playing white knight for the hell of it, either. They likely knew that Sony would eventually have to strike an IaaS deal with someone, and if they could jump on it early and get a piece of that PSNow pie, might as well.
