I see that too for some reason!

I expect Jim to get a giant departure bonus in the end.

They deserve it because I had a great year with my PS5.

Yup, pretty much. But then again now would be the right time of year to do this kind of interview.

I guess we see it through an enthusiast lens and take for granted this is all common news "to us" but for casuals it might be revealing news.

Well, with all the Xbox gaslighting there might be a need for that kind of "news".

Eric Lempel seems to be more prominent these days.... could be a candidate for leadership!

Wolverine.

That would be amazing but I do want them to have the time they need to make it the best it can be.

I hope it is Nishino

Dude worked at Ericsson and SCE as an engineer, one of the main architect in PS4. From what I heard he also top graduate at university at only 20.


Big brain energy like Cerny. I know Sony prefer bussiness guy like Kaz, Jimbo but big tech is in better hand with tech guy than business guy.

If they manage to release Wolverine fall next year then Insomniac deserve a medal for releasing so many high quality games this gen whilst some studios have barely released anything this gen

Wolverine.

Wolverine is not coming out next year. Keep dreaming. We don’t even have gameplay for it yet

Even if it was coming next year, there's no way they would have dropped Gameplay for it a year out... right as their biggest game yet was about to drop.

Great job to Sir Jim Ryan, Meneer Herman Hulst at Playstation for guiding the ship to glory.

Well it better one for their history books because they sold share holders on that 25 million yearly total. And they got like 12 million PS5's left to sell.

They'll get close.

Holidays and then Spring quarter... I don't think they will be too far off.

They do need more single player bangers to really push hardware though, a roadmap showing all reasons people need to buy in too.

Sony don't reveal gameplay years before a game is released, lol. They barely market a game 3 months before its release date.

 

[On Demand]

Sony quarter ends March 31st. They’ll sell what…..over 6 or 7M PS5 this holiday alone. There’s plenty of time and easy to ship the full 25M consoles.
