If cable companies will get on board this could be amazing for gaming in general. Playstation is the strongest name in gaming and if they get Comcast on board (who will most likely be buying out Time Warner soon) you could combine the biggest players in two of the biggest mediums of entertainment. Also they could offer Sony pictures and Sony music incentives to the lineup to whoever signs on like you said, leveraging their other entertainment branches. That's something the other companies just don't have to in their arsenal. Comcast can't find a more open solution to what Sony offers. They have to get in bed with someone unlike with mobile or PC where they can make an app or website. Sony offers them content in all aspects of their lineup ALONG with the great reputation of their past shows unlike MS who is just now getting into live action stuff with Halo. |
That would be an awesome team. I was just hoping they could get Best Buy, Gamestop, Target, Walmart, and other retailers to sell PSN service + PS Hardware on contracts like they do with smartphones.. If they could get Comcast to jump on board with them, then they would pretty much own the TV and Gaming buisness.
But, I don't think Comcast is going to give up their position very easily, so I expect them to fight all of these OTT services at every step.

I'm not suggesting they replace Comcast. I'm saying they provide content for Comcast other than games which will remain separate. Like "buy a PC get an Xbox 360" except with Comcast and Sony teaming up. Comcast would not feel threatened by this. They get all of Sony's Music and Movies stuff like Breaking Bad, MiB and everything exclusively on their services while Sony gets to use Playstation services and put PS in when people purchase their cable perhaps.
