Sony PlayStation Console Remains Core Despite Expansion to PC and Mobile

TapTechNews September 17th news, Sony PlayStation co-CEO Hideaki Nishino said that although the company hopes to expand the audience on PCs and mobile devices, but the game console will still be the core of its business in the future.

In the interview published by Nikkei on September 11th, Hideaki Nishino talked about the value of game consoles. He said, "There are many games on mobile devices that will display advertisements, and it is difficult to set up on PCs, but with PlayStation, as long as you turn on the game console, you can directly experience the purchased content. The store where players buy games also provides an intuitive experience because the products are arranged in an easy-to-understand way."

Hideaki Nishino added, "We are trying to increase Sony's share in the entire game market by developing content for PCs. There is no doubt that the game console will be the core of our business, but by providing games on platforms other than the game console, we will reach a wider range of customers."

TapTechNews noted that Hideaki Nishino said in a business briefing earlier this year: "The game console is the technology stack that we developed from the bottom up, so we can provide a very, very good experience. The value of the game console will continue to hold, and our mission is to continue to improve it."
