PlayStation continues to advance in eSports
Sony’s recent strategies continue to focus on both PC gamers and eSports. As you know, when they talked about the hardware under the Inzone brand that they just released, they shared that these hardware were developed for PC eSports players. They even stated that they wanted to be the Nike of the industry in the field of PC gaming hardware.
GameIndustry.biz “Our vision for esports at PlayStation has always been to break down barriers for players to compete at all levels,” said Steven Roberts, vice president of competitive gaming at SIE in an interview with SIE. Aaron Fletcher, CEO of Repeat.gg, also commented:
