Konsollene selger raskere enn noensinne og 2015 er smekkfullt av gode spill, men likevel kan ikke konsollenes eksistens tas for gitt. I et intervju sier Playstation-sjefen Shuhei Yoshida at det er en evig kamp om å være relevante når teknologien stadig endrer forutsetningene for digital spilling.
"Like Michael Pachter saying console is dead, or this is the last console generation, I feel we've been fighting against obsolescence."
Yoshida fortsetter med å si at de høye salgstallene ikke nødvendigvis betyr at flere har begynt å spille på konsoll:
"Even when PS4 is doing well, you might look at the sales, the fast pace of PS4 sales, we may be just selling to the same people faster, right! That's a sad view of things, but it could be the case."
Han forteller også at Sony jobber med å finne nye måter for å tiltrekke seg spillere og øke konsollenes popularitet. Dette er en av grunnene til at de satser på Playstation VR, noe de håper skal øke bredden i publikum:
"Playstation VR has broader applications than the games, and demos we've been doing, the very first demo we provided was The Deep. It has no gameplay at all. Anyone can enjoy it.
Of course there's a challenge of pricing and whatnot, but in the future we position Playstation VR not as a peripheral to VR, but as a virtual reality system that makes use of PS4. We're hoping in the future that people might pick up Playstation VR and PS4 not only for the games, but for other entertainment usage."
