PlayStation PlayStation Vue to Shut Down

Sony has announced that it will be shutting down its PlayStation Vue TV streaming service on January 30, 2020. The company cites a hugely competitive field and a desire to focus on its core games business as reasons why it’s pulling out of the TV streaming business.

“Today we are announcing that we will shut down the PlayStation Vue service on January 30, 2020,” Sony Interactive Entertainment deputy president John Kodera writes in a new blog post. “Unfortunately, the highly competitive Pay TV industry, with expensive content and network deals, has been slower to change than we expected. Because of this, we have decided to remain focused on our core gaming business.”

Sony launched PlayStation Vue in 2015 as a cable-cutting internet TV service. Members could watch several TV channels live over the internet including channels like CBS, ABC, Fox, NBC Universal, and more starting at $40 a month.

Not been going for too long so surprised to see this so soon, however it doesn't particularly surprise me.

I think Sony may not have enough exclusive tv shows and movies to make Playstation Vue worth subscribing to.

I feel the $40 a month price tag is expensive compared to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc where it cost around $10 per month for watching many tv shows and movies.
