Polygon: "The consoles must be supported by steady releases in the months following their launch.
It's an issue suffered by recent devices that third-party studios have been slow to adopt, namely the PlayStation Vita and Wii U, which are only now starting to recover to varying degrees. If either of the next-gen consoles launching later this year suffer the same draught, it would be disastrous for their future prospects — but Sony Worldwide Studios president is confident that won't be the case for PS4 thanks to the console and company's developer-friendly approach."
Shuhei Yoshida chats with FINAL FANTASY XVI Producer Naoki Yoshida.
PlayStation boss Shuehei Yoshida wants the gaming industry to continue to chase its creative dreams.
Shu I agree but right now Sony themselves are working on more than 5 live service games
He’s been at PlayStation since the beginning, and seen the games industry transform beyond recognition. He talks unlikely successes, AI, and gaming’s future.
Thats what sony has always done for the last years, and that is one of the many reasons why I will be getting the PS4!
I think this is the smart move. Since mid tier games have officially died indies can fill that role of gap fillers but at a lower cost making these bigger hits more affordable and making the $60 priced games less of an issue for consumers (still an issue though). Third parties also fill certain gaps of the years. It is better not to bunch the exclusives but slowly release them throughout the year
With people already having enough to hook into pre-ordering it there's certainly no rush, drip feed us those true next gen treats, Yoshida, as we already have plenty.
No need to over indulge at launch to over compensate as it clearly doesn't need to.
Infamous releasing in February seems to be an example of this steady flow. It would be awesome if Sony managed to bring out an exclusive every one or two months! I can just imagine the fall 2014 line-up consisting of The Order, Naughty Dog's new game, Media Molecule's new game and even Santa Monica's new game! I hope Shadow of the Beast and Everyone's gone to the Rapture make 2014 too!
Off-topic: The people commenting in the Polygon section seem to have no idea what they're talking about lol.
Uh....duh!! I know this quote is probably based on something he was asked...but this quote is kinda dumb, of course he does. Then again, maybe this is to combat the criticism of PS3 having greay exclusives upfront like infamous 1, Uncharted, and some Say the first Killzone on PS3 (but I was majorly disappointed by the gameplay myself), then for like 5 years or so having no exclusives worth playing until Last of Us.
