I don't see anything new? or anything integrated that would actually improve their services or the experience of their users. In the first place they're acting like web3 was something that had a web3 only userbase but no lol, any web3 users are probably users of your regular ol web, if there's any actual difference. Not to mention that they probably won't even touch the D from decentralization, let alone decentralization itself.
Personally, I don't think big companies need to touch blockchain. I don't see any reason for them to do so lol. I'd much rather they improve their damn services instead really.
Yeah. But if companies need to launch their own points/rewards system, they'd need to use Blockchain tech for that. Especially for security and immutability. Creating a L2 network instead of using the main ETH blockchain (L1) is a smart move. It will eliminate unecessary burden on ETH. Plus, the company will be able to control its own chain without limitations. Now, I don't know what consensus mechanism "Soneium" will have, but I guess it will be one that will prioritize scalability above all else. It will be centralized, of course.
I think other companies will copy Sony's Blockchain model if it becomes a huge success. Perhaps, "Soneium" will provide benefits to PlayStation users? The only downside about L2 networks (and Blockchain in general) is that you need to be connected to the Internet to be able to use them. So if you're offline, you won't be able to obtain any benefits. Let's see how the working product ("Soneium") will perform. As long as customers show interest in it, don't expect it to go anywhere soon.
