Not directly related to PlayStation's but you can expect a butt load of advertisement from sony now.

uote: Effective January 2007, Sony will formally embark on a range of activities as an official partner of FIFA. This contract will run for 8 years until 2014, with a contract value of US$305 million.

Sony's agreement with FIFA makes it a "FIFA Partner", the highest level of sponsorship status accorded to only six companies. Sony has been chosen to partner FIFA in its "Digital Life" category (covering a wide variety of business activities from entertainment to electronics), and will engage in an array of global marketing and advertising activities at more than 40 FIFA events, including the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups. Quote:
This year Sony will be able to associate its logo with five forthcoming FIFA events (details below). Other rights will include advertising boards in stadiums, on-screen IDs and - depending on the event - free or first negotiation rights for TV Commercial spots. These activities will heighten awareness and trust regarding the Sony brand, and as we deliver dreams and new forms of enjoyment to customers, will enhance our overall corporate value.

not surprising , sony has been a champions league sponsor for a decade ! in plain football terms , cl final is bigger and better than the world cup and it happens every year. 350m seems very small though.

    I have heard that it is now unplayable in countries which do not support handful of third world countries not recognized by Sony like Pakistan. Steam is a true global platform.Then they cry that console gaming is dying.

    Alan wake 2 is yet to recover it's development costs. Due to no physical release and no steam launch.
    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
