The title is straight up lying and even proves it later by saying they own the largest market share in anime streaming. Even putting that aside, Sony had already tried and failed with their own streaming platform; they literally founded Vue in 2015. Just because it failed already doesn’t mean they are “ sitting the streaming wars out”. They ALSO literally bailed on Crackle about the same time.
Additionally, Sony still has a game streaming platform. They haven’t sit out on any “streaming wars”. They are pioneers in technology not fast followers.
PlayStationTV was a thing too
That's my dating strategy. I'm yet to face defeat
Sony looked at me, saw that I hadn't created a streaming service, and thought "maybe we should follow his lead".
You're welcome!
They also bought Crunchyroll, the biggest anime streaming service
That's how I win most my wars.
This is a big win for Sony Pictures, cause almost all of their movies suck.
Sitting them out? Are you forgetting Sony Crackle... Everyone's favorite streaming service!
Idiot writer did zero research.
