All corporate buzzwords lol. At least these few sentences will feed retard console wars for few weeks

 

[bighugeguns]

Tarrifs, gpu wars and shit could be making a next gen console untenable. That's not good.

Why were you a PS centric gamer and why are you moving away?

I don't see too much into this.

Nishino already said the console will be the epicenter of anything.

This guy says to center in the platform instead s concrete hardware. But what's the platform if not PlayStation?

That sounds a lot like the multigeneration thing Nishino said. PS5/Pro, PS6, new handheld, maybe own PC store and launcher and some streaming options. That will be the platform.


Besides, as seen in the Genji posts his answer was about the Namco Bandai deal and a generic one about moving from manufacturing things to content and IP.... Nothing to do with PlayStation.
