He believes it is time to offer "something that can only be enjoyed on PS5".
After the announcement of the event to show the first PS5 games planned for next week, Jim Ryan, Sony CEO, has explained in an interview that he is not interested in releasing new PS5 games on Playstation 4, as does Xbox Series X with Xbox One, platforms that will share exclusives for a year. "We have always said that we believe in generations, that when you go for a new console, this includes a number of features and benefits that the previous generation does not include. In our view, people should make games that can do their best. for these characteristics. "
With these statements, Ryan discards intergenerational games from PS5 to PS4, adding that "due to DualSense, 3D Audio, the multiple uses of the SSD … We are thinking of offering the Playstation community something new, something different, something that can only be enjoyed on Playstation 5 ". In addition, in the interview he confirms that there will be first party games to show during the event on June 4.
Focused on PS5 launch
On the other hand, Ryan explains that "obviously we are busy with leaving PS5 list. I think we are in a huge challenge for the fact of working from home, but the Playstation teams have responded in a magnificent way", despite working without being able to go to China where the console's production line is, he adds. In the interview, he also says that the best they can do is adjust to "the greatest value proposition we can, and that does not necessarily mean the lowest price; value is the combination of many things. In one area it can be games, in another number of games, in another depth, quality, price of the games … ", so for the moment it does not confirm the price of the console.
He also adds in the talk that the team's challenge is that "the 100 million people who make up the Playstation community and those who do not have it are excited as if they were in the E3 auditorium." The article also highlights the roller coaster that is being 2020, not only due to the working conditions due to the pandemic, but also due to the releases of The Last of Us Part II and Ghost of Tsushima in summer, the fact of having managed to overcome the 100 million PS4 sold and the initiatives they have carried out during the coronavirus, such as Play at Home.
