Jim Ryan pipes up after Phil Spencer’s jabs at the PS4 Pro. In the hubbub of E3 2017, Phil Spencer has been singing the praises of Microsoft’s new console, saying that he’s “proud” of the console’s $500 price tag and that “the very best console version of games” this year will be on the platform.
Then why the X is getting more third party support than the Pro?
“Well, we’ll see when they launch in six months’ time…There will be hundreds of games published this year and those games, market forces will prevail. If a developer or publisher wants to take advantage of the supposed power of the X, they will do that. If they don’t, they won’t.”
Looks like Sony is playing the wait and see game here. Can´t really say if it´s good or bad but, i do think they should enforce their first party studios to give propper support for the Pro.
Wow, did he reallt say "supposed power of the X"? That sounded more insecure than confident to me. Tasteless choice of words from a company leader.
What is this guys problem with Microsoft ? The more he does this just says hes worried about Microsoft. Can Andrew tell this guy to shut up ?
Explains why they produced a more powerful OG console only then to be the first to release another more powerful console... Doesn't it? No. Oh.
With such similar architecture across all the platforms is shouldn't take much effort to optimise and exploit each system. But being tied to the OG consoles will always be their Achilles heel with the (fps online) parity requirements etc.
This guy is in full damage control mode just like Phil has been a lot. They both need to shut up and worry about other things. The Pro is a beast as well so Sony doesn't need to worry about the whole power thing anyway and last I checked they were at 60 million sold globally so now worries there as well. MS needed to revamp the weaker One and now they finally have hardware up to the task checkerboard or not at least no more sub 1080p games for them cuz that was the biggest problem they had other than lack of exclusives.
