PODCAST: Backbone One: The PlayStation Portable That Isn’t (Dreams Interrupted - Part 2)
0Well, they finally did it… after years of trying to crack the code on handheld gaming with their releases of the PSP, the PSP Go, and the PlayStation Vita, Sony has FINALLY put a handheld gaming unit out on the market that may actually stand the test of time. After multiple false starts and promising products, Sony is now in a position to challenge Nintendo’s dominance in the portable gaming market. Wait a minute… something isn’t right here. Clearly this is a PS5 in handheld form, right? I mean, the distinctive look of the controllers is a clear match for the PS5 controller style… let me read the fine print here. Hmmm… this can’t be right. Sorry everyone, please stand down… this was a false alarm. This isn’t a new handheld console solution from Sony at all… not really. Sure, it IS a new Sony Edition mobile gaming option all right, and through the power of Sony’s remote play service we will be able to scratch the itch to play many of our favorite PlayStation games on the go… but this isn’t a new Sony mobile gaming system. It is a new mobile controller for our phones called “Backbone”, pairing the universally well-regarded Sony PlayStation controller style with the mobile phone many consumers already possess. And perhaps this is the best way for Sony to truly compete in the handheld market… not with their own console, but by partnering what they do best with the strengths of others to make a product that merges their strengths while mitigating their risks and minimizing their flaws. And maybe, just maybe, this is what they should have tried doing in the first place.
Join us as we explore Sony's painful journey in the second part of our series on "Dreams Interrupted: From Discovery to Destiny" and reflect on a challenging truth... when we find ourselves in a situation where our God-given dreams feel stifled but the vision in our heart is compelling us to continue to believe and persevere, it is easy to reach a point of frustration, doubt, and disillusionment. And it is in those moments we need to pray for the partners that we may not have even met yet… undiscovered supporters who will one day serve a vital purpose for the realization of the Lord’s calling on each of our lives. Joseph had his Pharaoh, Moses had his Joshua, Ruth had her Boaz, David had his Jonathan, Mary had her Joseph, Paul had his Silas… as the body of Christ we have been built to not only be codependent on Christ, but also on each other to fulfill the shared destiny that can only be completed by submitted believers working together to serve His purpose.
