Sony noted that they have yet to decide how much further to market the current console before launching a new console; the current G&NS targets exclude the impact of PS5. Sony has indicated that the timing of a PS5 has yet to be fully decided and has not yet been factored into Sony's three-year plan.


Sony views itself as having the largest developer network at present that is larger than those of Microsoft and Nintendo combined.

It sees a future for Sony's mobile titles in China. Finally, it believes that outside expectations for virtual reality may have been overinflated, and that new AAAs will be needed to jumpstart sales.
