The path from the PlayStation 1 to the upcoming PlayStation 5 lines up neatly, but only if you’re looking at it numerically. In actuality, for more than 25 years the PlayStation team has had to navigate some of the industry’s most difficult terrain. During that time, a dedicated team of visionaries, engineers, and software developers established a brand from scratch, propelled it to unprecedented heights, struggled to maintain dominance, and eventually returned to what initially made them so successful.
Andrew House is no longer at Sony, but he still thinks that consoles like the PlayStation 4 have big future ahead of them.
I still remember how the misinformed media tried to push a doom and gloom narrative for the future of consoles at the beginning of the decade
Didn't even notice it earlier but PlayStation already has it's own GAAS as part of it's PSN service model. It's "Free-to-Play" games & "Streaming", ala PSNow as part of it's "Adaptive Monetization ", according to Ex-PlayStation Boss Andrew House.
Consoles have successfully existed for the past 46 years and they’ll successor exist for the next 46 years.
