From the looks of this if Sony can pull it off they can let u cut the cord and leave the ps4 to be the only box u need without the hassle of dedicated cable box unlike m$' solution. And if nbc or other local channels don't want to cooperate Sony can just team with aereo on those channels :D Sony also has saying power since they produce major popular shows like breaking bad, community, wheel of fortune etc... While Sony thought into the future m$' is stuck in the past with cable boxes lol. |
If you think MS isn't planning something like this already, you're bonkers. Especially since the 360 itself already supported being a set top box for SKY as well as supported on demand options from Comcast and Verizon.
Seems like you didn't think this one through very well... MS's solution provides more flexibility in that cable companies don't have to develop their own special apps or agree to full content rights/support. MS can either do the HDMI-IN with the new Xbox One guide, or offer a full app or their own IPTV service like they've been working on for ages already.
You're welcome :)
