Microsoft and Sony announce partnership for gaming, image sensors and cloud services
FirstpostSony will use Microsoft’s cloud for streaming games and the two will work together to on new image sensors. Microsoft Corp and Sony Corp on Thursday said they struck a strategic partnership in which Sony would use Microsoft’s cloud for streaming games and media and the two would work together to develop new image sensors. But the owners of two major consumer interactive entertainment franchises - Microsoft’s Xbox platform and Sony’s PlayStation - would collaborate to stream games and content to consumers and offer game makers new development tools. Sony and Microsoft said they will potentially develop new image sensor chips that use Microsoft’s artificial intelligence technology for business customers. Sony and Microsoft said they would explore how to use Microsoft’s AI tools in Sony’s consumer products “to provide highly intuitive and user-friendly AI experiences.” Microsoft’s technology for tasks like recognizing images and understanding human speech is widely believed to be competitive with better-known rivals such Alphabet Inc’s Google, but its focus on business customers has left it fewer outlets for the technology that consumers touch.
