PlayStation's daddy has a new baby

Posted Nov 11, 2009 at 4:42AM EST by Glenn M.

Listed in: News Tags: Joint Venture, Ken Kutaragi, Namco Bandai, Sony

Ken Kutaragi, the man known as the Father of PlayStation, also has creds under his belt apart from his phenomenal consoles. Back in 2007, he pushed for the Sony and Namco Bandai joint venture, Cellius. At the end of October this year, Kutaragi will spearhead yet another company, adding a shiny new badge to his gaming rÃ©sume.

The new company is called Cyber Ai Entertainment. "Ai" is Japanese for "love," and is homophonic to "eye." Kotaku reports that this new business aims to commercialize the development of nextgen internet services.

It's yet unclear how Cyber Ai and PlayStation would be showing some brotherly love, but it's likely that the two names will run into each other at some point.

Sounds long overdue, if the intent of Cyber Ai is what I think it is. With all the talk of ISP's (Cable, DSL) starting to impose bandwidth caps and or throttling ....in order for these online services like PSN (or Xbox Live, etc) to really grow in the future, Sony and Microsoft are going to need to provide *their own* ISP service.

Think about it: if the Next-gen consoles (PS4, Xbox 720, etc) are to attempt to go all-download, not only will there need to be a sufficiently-fast service to allow customers to buy all that product ...but it will need to be unlimited.

The ATT, TWC, etc cronies certainly aren't going to be doing that.They clearly have their eyes on the $cash$ they'll get by limiting-bandwidth, charging for tiers, and over-charging for fees (even if the technology actually might exist to eliminate the need for all of that).

Sorry but that was cheeky. Here's why what you said wont happen-

The next gen consoles aren't going download only. What will happen is every major release will be available to download much like what the Xbox 360 can do now - except from launch. Broadband penetration isn't as good as what you think and until it's 100% (like access to a store, either on the highstreet or online) companies will not risk limiting their market. Simple as that, and if you think otherwise then you're an imbicile.

They won't be making an ISP. There's thousands already and they already have no bandwidth limits etc. If they were to do it they would charge more than the ISP to recoup their licensing charges.

I know it can be super fanboy central in here but a Sony ISP would suck. Maybe the draconian setup they had in the US might want something like that but such a thing couldn't exist in Asia or Europe.

Unless the Sony ISP is worldwide, $5 a month and offers download speeds exceeding 20mb/s the I will say no
