PlayStation believes home consoles aren't going anywhere
, by Thibaut
Home consoles going the way of the dodo is something that comes up pretty frequently. With the advances in cloud gaming, some believe that the physical media will eventually disappear once and for all.
Hideaki Nishino, co-CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, has disagreed on Famitsu. He notes that "as of today, many PS4 games are being played, and the number of PS5 games is increasing rapidly." He states that console video games will remain the focus of PlayStation activies for a long time to come.
Nishino didn't stop there, renewing PlayStation's commitment to consoles and hardware in general.
"Some people may misunderstand me when I say this, but if you have cloud gaming on PS Portal and PS5 games running, some people may think that we have already entered the era of cloud gaming. However, you still need a controller and a screen in your hand, and we believe that hardware will not disappear just yet."
