In its patents, Sony treats competition as inferior in its products
Experts in the field have pointed out that, although these types of terms may be used in legal documents, it is inappropriate to use them publicly in an industry as competitive as this. Instead of creating a negative atmosphere between companies, experts believe it would be more beneficial to work together to create a more positive gaming experience for players.
