SonyMicrosoft and Sony are working more closely together in a rare admission of failure from Sony that its cloud gaming and AI are simply not up to scratch. The MOU between Sony and Microsoft has been agreed at the corporate level and includes:First: Game streaming: It looks as if Sony will move to run its game streaming service from Azure rather than its own in house offering. RFM research (see here) ranks Sony as a real laggard in AI but puts Microsoft in the global No. This makes complete sense from Microsoft’s perspective as Sony makes the best sensors and Microsoft would have to buy some anyway as it does not make them. At a corporate level, this co-operation makes complete sense as Microsoft is increasingly focused on the enterprise while Sony is purely a consumer company.
