It’s a circus. Nothing more. The embarrassing sight we are witnessing from Jim Ryan’s Sony is sad. If I was a hardcore fan of the brand, I’d be tucked away in a corner and with my social media closed. And it is that the arguments brought to light by the Japanese are very, very embarrassingand they are difficult to justify.
We’ve seen it all, including Sony itself taking credit for its own franchises. Defending your business is understandable, but how it does it gives us a clue as to what that business is on the inside, and that juggling like the shovel of loaning out a game that got scarred during the Xbox One presentation isn’t nothing less than its DNA. Because Sony is corny, crummy at times, and now we know it’s a complete liar too.
“It’s that Xbox won’t play with me in the park, sir…”
The last we could know is that they are complaining that Microsoft does not allow PlayStation Plus on its consoles. Something that is inherently implausible. But it’s also something they never even considered offering. From what they say in the last report declassified by the market competition authority in reference to the acquisition of Activision Blizzard. This is his last anger.
The quote itself is so embarrassing that it’s almost impossible for me not to laugh while writing these lines. Excuse me if I lose all professional form in the text, but that’s just…well, I’ll let you assess.
Microsoft’s position that the availability of PC & Xbox Game Pass on PlayStation as a solution to all possible damage caused by this transaction seems pretty hollow, especially considering that Microsoft does not allow PlayStation Plus to be available on Xbox. . .
The fact is that the Japanese are putting too many spokes in the wheels. Their strategy no longer seems to want to stop the purchase, but to delay it as long as possible to gain competitiveness while they think about what to do. Faced with these setbacks, Microsoft offered Sony to put its day one releases in its subscription in order to compete with them.
