@SolidIngram @outlawoftorn Microsoft is not bringing TV to the console. all they are providing is an HDMI pass through, which means you just wont have to switch between HDMI inputs using your TV remote.
Sony's app is more akin to bringing TV to the console, or phone or tablet or PC. if you dont have existing cable, you can subscribe to the app and watch some channels on any of your devices.
Again, its not about either being good or bad, there is just a huge difference between the two approaches.
@blue_shift_91 what makes you say the gaming division of sony is becoming a new entrant in tv services? In no way does this article say that sony's gaming division is developing this app. that is like saying it also developed music unlimited and crackle.
since this app will be available on any sony device, it is more than likely that sony's entertainment divison is negotiating this deal.
