- Microsoft Corp and Sony Corp on Thursday said they struck a strategic partnership in which Sony would use Microsoft’s cloud for streaming games and media and the two would work together to develop new image sensors.

“For many years, Microsoft has been a key business partner for us, though of course the two companies have also been competing in some areas,” Sony Chief Executive Kenichiro Yoshida said in a statement. “I believe that our joint development of future cloud solutions will contribute greatly to the advancement of interactive content.”

Japan’s Sony is also a major supplier of camera chips for smart phones and other devices. Sony and Microsoft said they will potentially develop new image sensor chips that use Microsoft’s artificial intelligence technology for business customers. The two companies did not specify how the chips would be used.
