Sony plans to end PlayStation Vue service in January amid heavy competition, rising content costs
Sony Corp. said it plans to shutter its PlayStation Vue streaming television service early next year due to intensifying competition, as technology and media companies inundate consumers with video options.
The service, which launched in 2015 and lets users stream and record live programming through PlayStation 4 consoles and devices from Roku Inc., Apple Inc. and others, will be discontinued in late January, the company said Tuesday. Going forward, Sony said it would focus on its core gaming business.
