Ever since the advent of the current generation console cycle, Sony has been on a roll with the PlayStation 4. Recent figures indicate that Sony have already shipped more than 25 million units in less than two years since the console launched back in November 2013.
Sony's country manager for India talks (almost) everything PlayStation related.
Sony has been a regular at Gamescom, a popular games expo that takes place every year in Cologne, Germany. However unlike previous years Sony decided to skip the show and not conduct their usual press conference.
All they did was push it to the Paris show, as long as they have a show half as good as their E3 showing, then I'll be happy. I'm hoping to see a new game or two hopefully with a 2016 release
The only people reading too much into it are either websites hungry for clicks so they post negative sony gamescom articles or the ones being paid by microsoft for good pr.
Obvious they are saving new announcements and bombs for the PlayStation experience ......
Playstation Haters will read too much on anything they can turn it into a negative, and the click bait articles are even worse. I didn't mind they skipped Gamescom because they said they are going to Paris Week instead. This means they will show there what they could have shown at Gamescom. WHy go to two events to show the same? Why doesn't Microsuave go to Paris Week too?
Also people think! This even isn't as big as E3 or PSX. it will be maybe as big as Gamescom, and what Sony would show there could be limited to their EU devs only:
- Guerrilla said they are taking their Horizon Demo there too, so there's one. Hopefully more info on the game will be shared too.
- Sony London new IP(?)
-_Quantic Dreams new IP
- Xdev project (?)
- New DLC for Driveclub from Evolution Studios
- Guerrilla Cambridge's Morpheus Project
- More Tomorrow Childreen footage(?)
Then there's TGS where they will show what their Japanese devs are making. That's their chance to announce Gran Turismo 7, Deep Down, More of The Last Guardian, and more JRPGs.
Then there's PSX where they will show what their American devs or any worldwide devs are doing: Uncharted 4 multiplayer(?) or more footage. Sony bend's New ip, Santa Monica studios project(?), and maybe more.
With still too much they have under their sleeves to show, I expect them to do thing like that.
And yet with all of that, there will be people dissapointed because they just want one specific thing. If that doesn't make it ti any of the events, they SUCK! Ungrateful brats are never pleased! Glad they are always a minority. With all of what I just said above, why are people so concerned about Gamescom? Sony still has more to come and yet Gamescom suddenly becomes a big deal just because Microsuave was there. Gimme a break!
Wait , what ? so gaming fans shouldn't overreact to something ? C'mon mate thats how we roll lol
In the second part of Games in Asia's interview with Playstation India chief Atindriya Bose, they touch upon Sony’s handheld conundrums, the country’s potential on digital, and the company’s plans for local indie developers.
PS4 is the new PS2 or PS2 2.0 in terms of sales, games, and more and I am glad that Sony are doing there best to make it the best experince in general!
I also meant surpassing the PS2 in terms of sale.
I'm not to sure if it would outsell the ps2 but DAMN, what I would give to see that. That would be the equivalent of seeing justin beiber get punched in the face, no words can describe the euphoria that would be felt.
I doubt its going to happen. The PS2 just too many instances of opportunity, namely DVD becoming a thing, that the PS4 can't hope to match.
Then again, depending on how the general market adopts it, VR could give it a chance. What with Sony including movie and TV studios they could offer shows that could make the PSVR, and the PS4 by default, a hot item.
and a fine job you're doing. To be fair, I don't think the success of the PS4 is unrelated to the success of the PS2. I think the reason people buy Playstations, is because of the years of dedicated catering to the gaming community. When I buy a Playstation, I KNOW that I will get years of use out of it. That, I think, is the reason why i believe its a mistake to assume the success of each console is solely based on recent events.
Good on them for aiming so high. I don't think they'll surpass PS2 but PS3 is most definitely a possibility.
