Sony Makes Major PlayStation Declaration

Everyone has probably noticed that Sony has changed its approach to the games market in recent years. The Japanese have resisted for a long time, but they have finally started releasing their biggest hits on computers as well. It is true that this is happening with a significant delay and PlayStation owners are still treated as a priority, but it is happening. Sony assures that this will not change.

For Sony, PlayStation is the most important thing

Hideaki Nishino gave an interview to Nikkei, where he was asked about the value of consoles. The answer is clear. For the Japanese, PlayStation is still the priority.

We are looking to expand our presence in the gaming market by expanding our content to PC. There is no doubt that home consoles will be the core of our business, but by offering titles for devices other than home consoles, we will reach a wider range of customers.

– said Hideaki Nishino.

At the same time, Hideaki Nishino admitted that in his opinion consoles are much more convenient equipment compared to computers and mobile devices.

I think a lot of mobile games have ads, and computers are hard to set up. With PlayStation, you can play purchased content as soon as you turn it on. Products are clearly displayed in the stores where you buy software, so it’s an intuitive experience.

– added a high-ranking Sony Interactive Entertainment employee.

The release of PlayStation games on computers has certainly been a huge success. However, it should be remembered that for Sony, this is still a much smaller market than consoles. For comparison, Horizon Zero Dawn sold 3.3 million copies on PCs. On consoles, it is 3 times more, or as many as 10 million copies.
