Sony Launches New Line Of Headsets & Monitors To Reel In PC Players

Although Sony Interactive Entertainment remains clear on selling unique properties for its PlayStation platform, the firm in past years has approached this tactic similar to Microsoft and has begun shipping its titles to PC later on. So far for 2022, we saw titles such as God of War and the upcoming release for Marvel’s Spider-Man this month. But, that is not all the firm has planned.

In one discovery online, it is clear the PlayStation firm is striving to establish its own platform with one job listing referencing the ambition. Atop of that, President & CEO Jim Ryan also chimed in on the approach. In an investors presentation, Ryan expressed the platform is a metric the firm is still targeting with projects four times greater than the past fiscal year.

Recently, Sony revealed a new line of products under the banner Inzone. This new initiative is made to target users on PC specifically with carefully-crafted monitors and headsets to compliment consumers’ desires to bring the ultimate experience to the platform. An interview with The Washington Post offers a statement which reads:

We are entering the gaming gear industry with monitors and headsets at an exciting time, since gaming and esports have gotten even more popular over the last few years. We are leveraging Sony’s high quality display and audio technologies to deliver products that will allow gamers to immerse themselves into their gaming world.

Kazuo Kii, Sony President of Home Entertainment and Sound Products

He adds, “We are not saying we are not focusing on the PS5 users. But because we are latecomers to monitors and headphones for [the] gaming segment, we believe we have a chance to catch up. […] I believe if top players from top companies mention ‘Oh, Sony’s Inzone is great,’ we can catch up.”

When pressed on the motivation for Sony to enter this field, Kii responds that the ambition is not an effort to target Microsoft’s greater audience which resides on PC. In fact, Kii could not answer for future plans of Inzone at the time. While there is room to added more peripherals to the line, monitors & headsets is the only plan for Inzone.

Recently, Microsoft revealed it is expanding its line of products for PC users as well. Either it being for recreational use, work, or even gaming, the new initiative is shared to be a new project to bring more comfort to disabled users on its platform.
