Sony Exits CES for First Time in 60 Years to Prioritize Entertainment

Sony has confirmed it will not exhibit at the 2027 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), ending a 60-year streak of participation that began in 1967. The decision reflects a strategic pivot away from consumer hardware toward entertainment, intellectual property, and creator-focused technology. This move follows the cancellation of the Afeela electric vehicle joint venture with Honda and the transfer of majority control of its Bravia television business to TCL. While Sony will no longer showcase broad consumer electronics, it continues to expand its PlayStation peripheral lineup, including monitors and audio gear, though any PlayStation 6 announcements will now occur outside the CES venue.

Xbox Cloud Gaming Lands on TCL TVs With a Tight 15-Hour Cap

Microsoft will bring Xbox Cloud Gaming to TCL TVs, expanding access without a console, but starting November imposes strict monthly playtime caps across all Game Pass tiers (Ultimate 15 hours, Premium 10 hours, Essential 5 hours), a move Microsoft argues is necessary for profitability and cost control. The cap narrows the cloud gaming window even as industry watchers note the potential of cloud gaming amid rising hardware costs, with Take-Two CEO predicting broader adoption in a few years.

TCL Edges Out Hisense in the Budget TV Showdown

RTINGS notes Hisense excels at entry-to-mid range, but TCL provides a more consistent, safer overall budget-TV option with uniform brightness scaling and predictable picture across sizes. Both brands use Google TV and support Dolby Vision/HDR10+, with TCL sometimes benefiting from Bang & Olufsen audio tuning in specific models. Overall, TCL has a slight edge for most buyers, though the best pick depends on room and use case.
