Third Party is the ‘Lion’s Share’ of Content for PlayStation
In a new interview with The Game Business, Christian Svensson, the VP of second and third-party content at Sony, discussed the CEO’s description of PlayStation. Svensson first started out by talking about PlayStation being a “very third-party focused ecosystem.” The VP then references the CEO, stating that Hideaki Nishino would say, “PlayStation is just a plastic box without content.” A third party holds the lion’s share of the content on the platform.
Svensson adds that this is why they need to focus on being ambitious and bringing new voices to the platform. If their focus shifts towards third parties, it would result in the industry’s growth coming to a halt. The VP added that the team, as an industry leader, has “a responsibility to continue to drive and push and to grow the whole industry, not just our own business.” PlayStation’s head of third-party content says the next few years of unannounced games is “unbelievably positive” and that the industry should be more optimistic about the future.
“There are no dire times for the industry ahead as far as I’m concerned.” #PS5 #PlayStation5 #PlayStation
