Not Sony or Microsoft: This company is the real gaming croesus

Image
Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are widely recognized as the industry giants when it comes to gaming. However, Apple, of all people, has quietly been able to take the lead when it comes to revenue from video games. Apple is now even supposed to earn more than all of the competition. Apple: Massive sales of gaming apps Apple doesn't have its own game console in its portfolio, but it can still pocket the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X providers. As it turned out during the legal proceedings between Epic and Apple, the iPhone company was able to achieve an operating profit of 8.5 billion US dollars in the gaming sector in 2019 alone. That translates to a little more than 7.3 billion euros. According to a new analysis, Apple's profit is higher than the entire competition from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo (source: Wall Street Journal). Apple is said to have made a total of 1.71 billion euros more in profit in 2019 than the companies that offer their own gaming ha

{Disarmed} Sony Interactive launches lawsuit against Huawei over Watch GT3

Image
Sony is filing a lawsuit against Huawei over the Watch GT series of smartwatches. Sony Interactive does not want Huawei to use the term "Gran Turismo". The fact that one is a game and the other is a smartwatch should certainly make the decision easier for the judges. Huawei has released several Watch GT series wearables over the years. The name "GT" refers to the Gran Turismo racing cars known for their high performance and luxurious appearance. And apparently Sony thinks that "GT" seems to be theirs only. Sony is apparently of the opinion that there is a likelihood of confusion. Which is complete nonsense. Sony could have sued all automakers who use such an abbreviation on their models. And this should already show that Sony has no prospect of success in this lawsuit. In 2016, Sony Interactive first appealed, then in 2019 the company again appealed against the trademarks registered by Huawei. A remarkable detail; During this time, both the Huawe

Sony Xperia 5 III in the test: Surprise successful

Image
The Sony Xperia 5 III was presented in mid-April 2021 and will hit the market in early October 2021. In the Xperia 5 III review, we'll tell you whether the long wait for this "compact" high-end smartphone was really worth it. Sony Xperia 5 III in the test: conclusion xiaomist rating: 8.4 / 10 The Sony Xperia 5 III really surprised me in the test . I liked to use it every day because it is so narrow and feels good in the hand. The performance is excellent, the battery life surprisingly high, there are many features that other smartphones lack and the camera also exceeded my expectations. Personally, I can't get used to the fingerprint sensor on the side. If you can do that, you won't have any problems with the activation of the Xperia 5 III. The omission of the wireless charging function is incomprehensible. Something like that should not be missing from a 999 euro cell phone. I also find the long wait for the cell phone to go on the market to be counterpr

{Disarmed} Sony Bravia XR X95J, analysis: the forcefulness with which it stands out in image quality shows that LCD panels have left rope for a while

Image
This TV is Sony's current flagship model with a 4K UHD LCD panel. And it's a decidedly premium device. It is because it has a design, finish and price that is comparable to other premium TVs of the same size, and, more importantly, also because its performance, on paper, should allow it to rub shoulders with the more models. advanced using other panel and backlight technologies . However, despite all this, it is likely that some TV enthusiasts will be shocked that the words 'premium' and 'LCD' coexist in the description of the same product. The biggest challenge facing this TV is none other than showing us that it makes sense . That really represents an alternative to the OLED and MiniLED models of the same size that are similarly priced, or even lower. The maturity that LCD panels have reached when surrounded by well-executed LED backlighting and electronics is unquestionable. In addition, Sony claims to have put all its experience and expertise into this
