Sony Prioritizing PS4 Features That Make Them Money, No Windows Phone App Planned & More

A anonymous Sony employee talks about PS4 applications and features.

ps4 amdA supposedly verified Sony employee has revealed the reason why there is a delay in releasing new features for the PlayStation 4. The Sony employee who goes by the handle IWorkForSony revealed on Reddit that they are working on those features first which makes them money.

“Huge backlog of features; priority goes to features that make us money,” the employee stated on Reddit. He also dismissed rumors of a Windows Phone app for the PlayStation Store and also stated that they have no plans to develop one as the user base is too small.

He also revealed the reason why we may never see an in-app version of the PS Store instead of just a link to the web browser. “No, that probably won’t happen. Apple won’t allow any direct competitors to release apps that sell digital media,” he stated. This is obvious since Sony is offering digital music and video services on the PlayStation 4 which makes them a direct competitor to Apple.

As usual, all of this information should be taken with a grain of salt. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
