Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida called the succes of the PS4 “ironic in a sense”.
“When the platform’s not doing so well, our games become more prominent, and we get larger market share within the same platform. Because we continue to support the PS3, in the launch year of the PS4 we had The Last of Us and Gran Turismo 6 and Beyond and so on, many games, we were still working hard. We’re just head-down, focused on delivering the games for the near future. We’re happy with how it’s going, and we’re excited about welcoming PlayStation VR. From a delivering games standpoint, we have work to do. People constantly ask us for the big exclusive triple-A games”, Yoshida said in an interview with Eurogamer.
With the Holiday season heating up, Sony will sure be selling a lot more consoles.
