Blocking the Vue

It seems just about everyone is entering the streaming TV service, but one company is getting out.

As Apple and Disney enter the space, PlayStation Vue says they are getting out.

The company announced that it plans to shut down its PlayStation Vue skinny-bundle TV service in order to refocus on its core videogame business.

The end of the line will come next January 30. Viewers of films and TV programming can continue to access them via the PlayStation Store and through partner apps. Sony is getting set to launch the fifth-generation PlayStation during the holiday season of 2020.

“Unfortunately, the highly competitive Pay TV industry, with expensive content and network deals, has been slower to change than we expected,” the company wrote in a blog post. “Because of this, we have decided to remain focused on our core gaming business.”
