Nevertheless, this is a huge achievement for Sony, who now claim the top three positions on the list of best-selling home games consoles, with the PS2, PS4, and PS1 currently sitting atop the pile.
Today we are announcing that we will shut down the PlayStation Vue service on January 30, 2020.
There's a scent of bitterness in the announcement, as John Kodera, Deputy President of Sony Interactive Entertainment says: "Unfortunately, the highly competitive Pay TV industry, with expensive content and network deals, has been slower to change than we expected". As a result, Sony has chose to focus on its gaming business instead, which has been a major driver over the last several years, and will likely continue to be one with the launch of the PlayStation 5 next holiday season.
It is very possible that over the next few months PlayStation Vue will slowly lose channels as contracts come to an end.

Sony's music division in the second quarter saw an increase in sales and operating income thanks in part to high music publishing revenue, benefiting from some consolidation, and higher sales in recorded music, which was pushed primarily streaming revenues increases.
PlayStation Vue launched in 2015 at a time when the cord cutting trend was in its infancy. The service is only available in the United States, and as the name suggests, you can indeed watch it on your PlayStation 4.
After chugging along for four years, Sony is calling it quits and ending its Playstation Vue subscription service. And it seems that's exactly what's happening.
New streaming services have been springing up consistently for years now, but in January, one is actually being shut down. Apparently this was only around 500,000 subscribers, compared to the millions that other services have managed.
