"Heard a few rumors Sony might be working on a big infrastructure/platform update for PSN in time for PS5. They're not resting on their laurels when it comes to cloud it seems."

jehurey 3,299 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Well, its online hosting........anything that Sony does that requires online hosting, why would they only move SOME of their online hosting needs and not ALL of their online hosting needs? Why would they use Azure servers for certain things, but still keep AWS for others? That's doesn't make any sense, it'd probably cost them more having everything spread out over multiple companies.

MS just clearly outbid/out bargained Amazon, and I'm sure they added other sweeteners beyond just a better price deal Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And probably just got a discount for moving their stuff to Azure data centers. I don't know why people are making this deal any more complicated than it has to be, we got the most pertinent information from the very beginning. I don't know how good Sony is doing in the "imaging" industry, but I bet they don't mind finding somebody to buy (or license) their imaging tech. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know how good Sony is doing in the "imaging" industry, but I bet they don't mind finding somebody to buy (or license) their imaging tech. From my understanding, the word is the deal between Sony and AWS on expanding went sour during negotiations and Microsoft approached Sony. Right now Sony is a leader in the imaging space so I'm sure both companies ironed out the possibilities of sharing and working together using each others technologies. At the end of the day and needless to say, this is pretty standard business as usual. Sony wants to expand, Microsoft approached them and now they're exploring the possibilities. This isn't something Microsoft is doing to "integrate" the industry or some hostile takeover, that's beyond retarded and only DipshitCop could muster up something that stupid. As anyone with common sense and knows how the cloud business runs you don't run everything in the cloud, it's just not ideal for some applications. Sony will continue to leverage their existing infrastructure which is already quite large... bigger than Xbox Live, and expand as needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly AWS has some issues with uptime, network consistency and download speeds which Xbox does not experience on Azure so the choice seems obvious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
