Which is true to some extent, but why need a PC PlayStation store , when you can just stream from the playstation to the PC anyway?

 

That's like saying why would sony give away one more talking point in not having to buy a playstation?

If you notice

 

Playstation VUE is Sony's software service streaming From their servers "to" but its made for the living room computer platforms not the PC. There is a very good reason for that.

Sony is in support of the AndroidOS , not Windows OS..the main OS for the Living room smartTV is Android OS, again not the WindowsOS.

Sony makes Android OS powered Smart phones, not Windows OS based.

The standard Graphics API in Android OS was OpenCL, its now Vulkan. 

 

Vulkan works on AndroidOS based devices, Amazon Fire stick & player and Chromecast are AndroidOS based devices.

Sony's streaming tech direction is mainly "to" other device's.

 

If anything PC is the last platform really Sony would support over playstation or AndroidOS at this point. The market for PC is well established, Sony built Playstation VR for the console market mainly..while OculusRift & Vive were built only for the PC market.

 

Sony't rightly So is keeping its direction to keeps its priority on the console market.

 

Think of it this way , how long has Microsoft been trying to make the media center PC your computer entertainment platform for the consumers livingroom? Multiple Decades!

 

And still Nintendo & Sony are standing in their way in doing so, now you are in smart TV's having The Android OS going directly into the TV itself. Or in Amazon Fire stick & player and Google's very own chromecast and player.

Why would again Sony support PC ecosystem mainly over AndroidOS when Sony has a direct vested interest into Android OS themselves in its development as a OS. Sony has no such invested interest in making Windows OS even larger in support over Android OS..

 

Sony sold off SOE & their PC arm..if they wanted to mainly support PC they would have kept SOE!

Again if its about the digital store for the future:

Again why support the Windows 10 store..Sony already had playstation Store..& google playstore and iOS..the PC market has steam & Windows Store those stores cater to PC crowd..Sony caters to the Console Crowd.

Clearly you know Streaming from a console is not the same as having a Digital Store on that platform.

You also talk about why would Sony allow such a thing on PC, but go on to talk about how they support Android (Based on Linux, a PC OS).

For the very same reason that Sony supports Android is why they will want to allow their service to be used on PC's, so they can reach as many users as possible, and lock as many users and devices into their store as they can.

Them smart top Android boxes that you say Sony is in full support of, is more of a treat to Playstation "console" brand (Not their digital store) then PC's are.

Why would a user buy a Playstation console when they can buy a small Android box or use their Android Phone that can plug into their TV use their PS joypad and play on that using PSNow??.

This is your main argument for why they wouldnt support the PC Platform so why support Android when its a bigger treat to their console?.

I mean wouldnt it be in Sonys best Interest to have a "Playstation" console as the ultimate living room streaming box?, so why support any of the compition at all??.

Could it be that Sony knows going forword the is more Money to be made from having their Store usable on any device instead of locking it to just one??.

 

 

 

Again why do they need to support PC when Android OS is Sony's own OS for the living room..

 

Windows Is is not Sony's OS , SteamOS is not their OS..Android OS... IS

 

Its about keeping the PC out of the living room!

Microsoft is about expanding the PC into the living room.

 

Which makes more sense, support PC 

Or put Playstation Software & services inside the TV itself IE: smartTV's and put PlayStation Software and services into Streaming Box's like Other Android OS box's.

 

Sony does not need PC, PC as a market is already established..while Sony is carving out their market in the living room.

PlayStation is the center Hub..these other box's or smartTV's are just another playstation Node in Sony's Playstation Eco system.

 

Again they would not give up making a box to go under the TV instead help the PC go there instead. Many think that way , and that's OK for such an opinion, but in my opinion..Sony has a vested interest in support of AndroidOS over Windows..and that's what we are really talking about here really..

 

When people talk PC support on here are they really talking Linux, or Microsoft windows OS powered?

 

Again why would Sony have to support PC Eco system over their own..they make and support the Android OS and that's the number #1 OS for smartTV's and living room streaming box's and Sony has not only xperia brand products they make Android smart TV's.
