Sony introduces Soneium blockchain - a step forward for enterprise blockchain?

[KryptoBull]

Do such people exist? As far as I can tell, the most notorious fanbase is probably Playstation hardcore fans. I doubt they truly believe Sony is the best company and will follow whatever they do though. Not to mention most of them hate NFTs because so many scammers spam fake games on many platform such as Steam, Playstation Store, etc. If anything I think Sony will not market this blockchain heavily to their end users and will use it as a background service to support their long-term target such as live play services, etc.

I hope Sony fans will be willing to try out the services deployed on Soneium if they are indeed good and user-friendly, making it easy for users to use Web3 just like Web2. Currently, according to the latest update, Soneium can be used to operate a stablecoin based on JPY, which is really interesting.

Scams always exist in this market, but I believe that opportunities always exist for projects with real potential and effective solutions. Sony fans are usually people with a good understanding of technology, they will not miss the opportunity to experience something interesting from blockchain technology introduced by Sony.

Yesterday Sony made the official announcement of the Playstation 5 pro

I thought they might mention Soneium at some point, but I didn't see anything
Maybe an integration, a feature already built into the console, some web3 focus or even that the console could run the Soneium blockchain, but they didn't say anything

Unfortunately, we haven't seen Soneium mentioned widely in Sony events, perhaps they have some reason to be more cautious with promotions related to blockchain and crypto. Soneium has also just been introduced, there aren't too many features or dapps that users can experience, Devs will also need time to deploy many solutions for users on Soneium.

It would be great if we saw PS5 supported by a Soneium-related service in the future. Maybe GameFi or NFTs that confirm ownership of games for players, helping Sony not have to apply many anti-cheat methods and players can experience games more simply and at the best quality.

Nobody knows why, but i would speculate that,
1. They couldn't find way to mention it without attracting negative opinion from those who don't like cryptocurrency or blockchain.
2. There aren't any popular PS5 games which support or use Soneium, but CMIIW.

I imagined something, but I know it will NEVER happen hehehe
Imagine if games could be verified via NFT, and after a while you could sell your game to another user via NFT
Obviously you'd have to pay a transfer fee to SONY

But I know it will never happen because every producer is against reselling games hehehe

[bitterguy28]

I have no idea why Sony would want to do something like this or be interested.

This doesn't look like something that would align with their business plans at all.

i mean they are a tech company so it’s not completely far off and most of the time companies have subsidiaries where their business is not exactly or directly connected/related to the main company they are just bringing the name of the company basically

• Will Soneium have its own native token?

i won’t be surprised i think many companies could benefit from having their own tokens which can be used to buy or avail their products and services and they might even introduce some exclusive benefits from holding their token who knows?

Customer would see it as revolutionary option, since they could spend less money . Although i was talking about NFT which represent digital items, that can be sold or given to another user.

That's why selling game via CD or DVD no longer popular option.

Games that use NFTs nowadays, in my opinion, end up being a bit forced.
NFTs and blockchain resources are good, but the game lacks being VERY good or long-lasting, or a AAA game

If Sony manages to put this type of NFT in games, as you mentioned, game items, but that really make sense, it could be very successful
Being able to trade some NFTs with your friends, sell them, keep them, etc. would be really cool
NFTs can also be used as a tool for early access, give you some DLCs, or even discounts on other games or items

We witnessed the value of NFTs in GameFi in 2021. NFTs were effectively used to create unique, unfalsifiable assets for games. The collapse of GameFi in 2021 was due to unsustainable tokenomics and the overall decline of the crypto market.

If Sony could implement NFTs, we can imagine many games being integrated with Sony's Web3 wallet for a richer experience. This would be a revolution for the gaming industry, and NFTs could truly become a part of everyday life in a unique role.

^ NFTs deffo deserves a place in gaming industry, they can be implemented in multiple ways as to trade game itself, trade game items, show ownership and track that ownership but it needs to be deeply thought onto, which is possibly why the wait from the gaming industry.

this has been done before by many projects from the past this seems to have been the obvious direction for nfts to use them in the gamefi sector one example would be axie infinity i remember a little before the pandemic and then after it started it was really huge and i was hearing about it everywhere but i don’t think it is as huge now

i am sure there are still many projects that incorporate nfts with gamefi that have been successful but i have not heard of a lot of them in recent times

The hype dried up as usual, like many other crypto trends like ICO, IEO, meme tokens, etc. I seconded the opinion that what we need is a good game. Too many crypto devs focus more on how to hype up the tokens/NFTs and not the game itself.

There are tons of people playing MMO to this day. If you can replace the ownership of a sword/armor with NFT and stop selling the investment opportunities more people would probably try it. As long as the game is fun, I doubt those people care whether the game offers NFTs or not. Trying to market the tech/blockchain-related stuff without having a good game to play with would make people hate the tech even more. CMIIW.

Yes, because that's what I have seen and have nothing out of box to say, but my ignorance doesn't exclude use cases creative thinkers can come up with.

I would like to know your opinion on this issue:

• Will Soneium have its own native token?
• Do you think Soneium can be successful and bring benefits to Sony?
• Should companies develop their own blockchain or should they use existing blockchains in the market?

Yes, I believe Soneium might have their own native token instead of relaying on someone else's. I even think that a company like Sony might consider to have their own blockchain so they might make more profits from it in future.

Yes, there's huge chance that Soneium will get success in bringing benefits to Sony because of the user base that Sony already has. It won't take Sony a long time to have many investors for Soneium and that's why I believe it will get success sooner.

I believe big companies like Sony, Apple, Nvidia, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, and others should consider developing their own blockchains instead of relying on other blockchains. It would be much beneficial for them in long run.

For now, we don't have any additional information about the Soneium native token, while USDC has already been deployed on this L2. I think Sony might follow Coinbase's approach: using ETH as transaction fees on Soneium to avoid the complexity of token management or being accused of issuing unregistered securities.

We have many large tech companies in the market. If all of them introduce their own blockchains, it would be interesting but would cause great confusion for users and investors. It would be better if they adopted existing public blockchains for tokenizing products or bringing their ecosystems to Web3.
