In a new interview with the publication GamesIndustry.biz Jim Ryan, current president Playstationspoke about the support that Sony will provide users Playstation 4 after exit Playstation 5.
Ryan bluntly stated that about owners Playstation 4 no one will forget, this part of the players represents a huge audience that supports Sony and takes an important position in making any strategic decisions.
“We always felt that we had a responsibility to the PS4 audience to support this system for at least a few years after the launch of the PS5. This is a very significant part of our business. The numbers speak for themselves. If you tell us at the meeting of directors that right now we have there are 100 million PS4 owners, and then compare with the potential 15-25 million who rush to switch to PS5, we still have a huge number of players on the previous generation of systems.These players continue to demonstrate their commitment to their preferred console, their dedication, and over the past for several months we were once again able to verify this, “said Jim Ryan.
Moreover, despite such rhetoric, Ryan hastened to make an important clarification – on the development by Sony internal studios of crossgen projects for Playstation 4 and Playstation 5 out of the question: both consoles will develop separately from each other, unlike, for example, the tactics that she chose Microsoft c Xbox Series X and Xbox one. The team of Phil Spencer, recall, plans in the first two years after the release of Series X to release all of their new games immediately on the consoles of two generations and PC.
In other words, all future major Sony games will be created exclusively for the impressive power of the PlayStation 5. At least The Last of Us: Part II and Ghost of Tsushima will be released on PS4, and various projects from third-party manufacturers will also be released for a long time to come.
“We have said many times that we believe in the concept of interchangeability of generations. If you spent time and resources on creating a new game system, then it should offer features and functions that the previous console is simply not capable of. And this means that games should go out completely new, which will be able to take advantage of these very features and features in the most affordable way.
We believe in the concept of “generations.” Whether it’s a DualSense controller, 3D sound, SSD features – it’s time to give the PlayStation community something new, something different, something that can only be enjoyed on the PlayStation 5, “concluded Jim Ryan.
Launch Playstation 5 will take place in the holiday season of this year. The next presentation of the console is scheduled for June 4.
