Which means if a company wants to release a product that is close to your idea (in the region where your patent is activated) they would need your permission or a licence from SONY, if they do not agree with SONY they can easily be sued for patent infringement. So SONY could just license their patents and take in royalty payment e.g 20% of profits or a fixed price like 20millions $ for license deal

If that were the case why do game controller makers have to do a work around when constructing their directional pad? Nintendo has owned the patent since the 70's or 80's for a simple d pad, and because of this any makers of controllers must find a work around Or if possible pay Nintendo.

I've been seeing you in Cassady's comment section!

You must not have a clue how big Microsoft is in the Corporate Market. They make billions off licensing Windows to companies which for the most part use all Microsoft products. Rarely do you see Apple or Linux in a non tech centered company like software development or systems security. And then all the server side stuff you never see like Azure, that runs the internet. They are still huge. Maybe not in the gaming market but they have a lock down on Software products like no other company. Even Apple relies on Microsoft to release Microsoft Word for Apple's operating systems. Think of how every computer comes with Windows, well Asus or Acer or HP all pay Microsoft to put Windows on their hardware. Fats sums of money too. Dell has deviated and offers Linux Ubuntu as an option now but for the longest time, every single PC came with a windows license aside from Apple hardware, in most cases you cant even avoid paying for Windows, even when you plan on uninstalling it for Linux, it's already in the cost. Also, they are huge in the IOT sector and make a lot of integrated systems that you don't see as a consumer. Apple might make more money but Microsoft is way more prevalent in the IT market whereas Apple has a tight lock down on the design focused consumer market and mobile markets. I work for the government in Canada and you wouldn't imagine the amount of money we pay Microsoft for licensing and ongoing support of their products like extended warranties each year. Plus if it wasn't for Microsoft Apple would have never made it big. DOS was licensed to apple for a period meaning Apple Hardware ran a Microsoft operating systems for a good part of it's beginning until they made their own operating systems.

now they're making their own car

Its really so much more than just that, PlayStation is a fraction of so much more than the company produce, and he didn't mention the brand of Sony Music

The Playstation brand did at one point make Sony more than half of their revenue profits for a few years so that's worth mentioning

Joe The PlayStation is to Sony as the iPhone is to Apple. Not the make or break lifeline of the company, but definitely the integral piece that represents the heart of the company. At least, by today’s standards for both.

I keep seeing people on console wars mentioning Microsoft has more money then Sony. Like what the hell does that have to do with who sells or makes more money selling consoles. Microsoft is obviously much richer off there PC sales compared to there console sales. They even said recently Sony is not there competition, Amazon and google are bigger threats since Microsoft gets much revenue from there cloud services not there consoles.

Iirc Nintendo hired them to make what may have been the N64 but Sony wanted to use Disc drives instead of cartridges. Nintendo said no and made the N64 where as Sony just made the Playstation 1 with a few games. I forget what exactly made it take off but I think it was a combination of Devs liking working with it more because it wasn't as limited as an N64 cartridge and it had better games. I checked a chart I saw once and it was more expensive and the size difference wasn't to huge. It did have head start though.

M7 S4i5l8v2a your close it was supposed to be a CD add on to the Super Nintendo like the SEGA CD but at the last minute when Sony was showing the prototype at a CES Nintendo changed their mind letting Phillips make it instead which pissed Sony off and they used the prototype to develop the PlayStation.

@@M7S4I5L8V2A No Nintendo initially worked with Sony to make a CD-ROM attachment for their upcoming Super Famicom and Super Nintendo, mainly to compete with NEC's PC Engine, which already had a CD-ROM attachment by the time the Super Famicom/SNES was in development. Then Nintendo wasn't happy with the fact that Sony agreed to get all the money from the CD-ROM add-on, so they dropped them in favor of Philips. The Nintendo/Philips collaboration failed as well, so Philips made their own console called the CD-i and it had some of the worst games ever with Nintendo characters. And we all know what Sony did afterwards.

M7 S4i5l8v2a nintendo contacted Sony BECAUSE they wanted to make CDs but then they took the ideas for themselves

@Alex The Awsome What do you think is possible? They compete with the US of course and at that time Japan is more popular than you think. Like after WW2 the whole world (even the US) rely on Japan for cars and electronic since their's are inferior to the Japanese stuffs.

they had an excellent work ethic even before the war which is why they were hard to beat during the war so naturally after the war and thanks to free market reforms they became successful

The same will happen to the united states.

The Japanese seem to have a great work ethic and they seem mostly immune from the American "individualism"--which is often just selfishness masked as freedom. The Japanese seem to actually think of themselves as part of a larger society

This is why Japan is awesome. They already hit their growth peak in the 90's, so now they focus on maintaining what they have. American companies seem almost eager to fire people and burn the whole thing down and jump ship. Look at Activision.

It true what you say. What os holding Sony back is their lack of diversity. Not that they are not diversed at all, but they always stay true to their roots ie. Electonic and Home intertainment. The future is IT-Services, Software and AI. The Electronik market is oversaturated with Samsung, apple, Google, LG etc no there is a lot competition. I hope for them that they diversify a lot for their own good considering the improving quality of chinese tech manufacturer at cheap prices

@@compaqdeskpro5770 Sony in America is also eager to fire people, burn the whole thing down and jump ship. Sony DADC here has fired nearly all of their full time employees and outsourced most of their production/packaging to Mexico. Last I heard they only had one line running with just a handful of temp/seasonal's. They just auctioned off a ton of equipment and the plants are almost empty. They used to be an awesome company that cared about quality products and its employee's but now it's just numbers and the bottom line. Back in the late 00's they started changing for the worse and started losing contracts due to poor quality/defective products. It really is a shame because they employed a lot of this town and people would drive 50 to 100 miles to work here and now it's just a bunch of big empty buildings with a few cars in one of the parking lots. I don't want to see them go down but the physical media side is on its way out though.

@compaq deskpro Thank you for the comment. I agree that employee protection is important, but finding the right power balance is critical. Giving too much power to employers will result in lack of job security and trust held by employees. In the US (not sure about other countries), not only are full-time employees easily fired and hired, but temporary staff members are being used as buffers for seasonal and project-based workload peaks. There was a recent CultofMac article about Apple's treatment of temp workers. The article is titled "‘Culture of fear’ dominates Apple’s secretive satellite office". It's abhorrent. Very much worth a read. (e.g. There's a story about Apple employees and temp workers having segregated restrooms. Temp staff members have to wait in line to use the restroom because temps significantly outnumber full-time Apple employees.) As me3333 mentions, it's awful what's going on in Sony DADC. This is why the notion of corporate loyalty is absent in the US. Japan's heading the same way because the age-old concept of "lifetime employment" and secure pensions are withering away. Large corporations were employees' social security system, but that's going away. A real-life example is how I've met many taxi drivers (most of them earn about $17K-$20K per annum) and a good number of them used to be executives in Japanese companies. Their pensions from their former employers are non-existent and social security payments aren't enough to survive. It's sad when I see those drivers tell me how they don't throw away their empty tiny coffee drink cans that are sold for $1.50 at vending machines and refill them at home every morning because they want to keep their dignity by appearing as though they can afford new coffee drinks every day. Also telling is how Sony has subsidiaries that accompany "non-effective workers" in entities like Sony Global Solutions. I’ve heard from someone who was a client of his. He claims to have seen multiple floors having endless rows of desks with late-40 through early-60 employees silently typing seemingly conducting mind-numbing data entry tasks into Excel spreadsheets. I've heard from a current Sony HQ employee that SGS is treated as a place where employees with low productivity are sent to. It's a sad story. Sony is also famous for having a "Career Improvement Training Center", which is a euphemism for "indirectly" firing people. It's located in the old Sony HQ building and low-performing employees are told to get "re-educated" at the Training Center. What takes place is appalling. Sony can't outright fire employees. Workers deemed unnecessary are sent there with significantly reduced pay and are given remedial tasks every day like how to use Outlook and Excel effectively. They are also persuaded to find jobs outside of Sony every day by looking through classified ads. The goal is to make their lives so miserable that they quit the company on their own accord. Many of them end up suffering from depression....sometimes much worse. Sony can deny responsibility and claim that they have this training center to help employees in need and that they did their best in "helping" the underperforming workers. There's a dirty side to every company. Sony is no exception.

@@ulrichleukam1068 Thank you for your reply. As you say, sticking to one's roots is important, but hanging on too long to something that is clearly no longer valid is harmful. Sony has admitted to sticking with their Trinitron CRT technology way too long and not taking risks in investing in LCD panel fabrication. The Korean companies saw this as an opportunity and the rest is history. By the time, Sony formed a strategic alliance with LG, Sony was way too late to get into the game. I completely agree with your statement about the future. But, Sony does not have competitiveness in any of those fields. Software has been a weakness for Sony because they've relied on hardware for such a long time. Of course, SCE (Sony Computer Entertainment) do have some as do other subsidiaries, but software does not define who they are. I have seen unsuccessful efforts in the software realm. They tried developing their version of a paid-version of KZfaq that specializes in high-definition, but that never took off. It was market-irrelevant. My hope is that Sony will hang on to roots that are relevant today and in the near future while taking on risks using their many in-house assets held by subsidiaries.

I am so glad that they're dying. They're always ripping people off. I don't even know how they got away with it this long.

Personally I will never understand the hate GameStop gets. I have a good friend that's been a store manager with the company for 22 years now. And he's always very positive about the company. Plus I've been shopping from them for two decades and I've never had a bad experience with GameStop myself. But then again I don't do trade-ins I collect. But I love a lot of times the pre-order bonuses I get for the games. And I tend to find some real Bargains in their pre-owned game section plus their sales like buy two get one free. So simply I'm just saying I've not had a bad experience with a company and I will continue supporting GameStop 👍 .

There is nothing strange about this. First, Japanese products usually live long, second, it is not unusual to see electronics from the 80s and 90s still working. For example, we have an Aiwa cassette deck from the eighties or nineties (can't remember exactly) and it still works. We don't use it anymore of course, but it still works.

A&tt and Verizon used to be one company as a company names Bell and it's different divisions across the country.

Plus they have the Deathstar logo - they have that going for them....

And now owns WarnerMedia. AT&T is not "bigger than you know". They are "big and you know it".

Don't forget to mention their abusive advertising practices and attempts to establish monopolies! At least once a week, there's an envelope in my mailbox addressed to "Our Neighbor At:," or something to that effect, with no info on the outside as to who it's from, and it's always an AT&T advertisement. They also have misleading titles for their internet packages, which end up being much slower than expected, and do their best to sign you up for other, unrelated services offered by other companies.
