Microsoft and Sony Partners for Gaming

If you like gaming, then this break news story would be on interest to you. Sony (P5) has agreed to partner with Microsoft (providers of Xbox 360). Microsoft will the major provider of its Azure Cloud and AI Platform for SONY PS5 gaming services. Many people now play games online. Can you believe that? I bet a few years ago, you would have sworn it could never happen. Well Never Say Never. SONY and Microsoft are fierce competitors in the billion dollars gaming business. 


Who knows this may be a first step to a deeper relationship? This was how Nokia and Microsoft started some years back. I could almost say I have seen this movie scene before.

Locally, we all know that the Merger (or acquisition depending on who is doing the framing) of Access Bank and Diamond Bank is long settled and new entity on up and running. I will stay as business owners and professionals that we should always keep our options open. Never say something can not happen, they have way of happening

As all sales professionals know or have come to realize we must all be mindful of what you say about your competitors, you may end up working for them tomorrow. It pays to stay professional.



Collaboration is the key word today. Don’t be shy, intimidated or apologetic if your business needs to pivot at any time, it means you are being aware and realistic.
