Sony’s been less-than-solid on letting its players move their Sony data from one device to another, and the announcement would have been a welcome one — if Microsoft hadn’t upstaged both Sony and Nintendo with its Smart Glass announcement on Monday.
True, you can’t play, say, a Windows Phone against the Xbox using Smart Glass. But by busting out of its own ecosystem, Microsoft has lowered the barriers to making second screen interaction really catch on. Microsoft’s vision of the second screen will have a much greater reach because it isn’t device-specific.
