Im now convinced that Jim ryan could literally say anything and it would be controversial.
As if Jim Ryan wouldn't have better gaming data in the 90's about regional gaming than people anecdotes about owning an nes and their friend owning and snes

Sony just wants to expand the worth of their I.Ps so it can sell more on their platform then what it is currently.
by making TV/Movies for it and mobile spinoffs you reach more audiences and then bring them to your platform, PS consoles.
They think their games have the potential to sell more like how some, not all Nintendo titles sell. Jim hoping that the PS5 will Sony's best PS reflects that.
It has nothing to do with going multiplat day 1 lol so articles getting all bothered by Sony not committing to day 1 releases on PC or anywhere have themselves to blame.
Maybe they might do it in the future, since the market is ever changing but currently their plans have been clear if you followed their interviews.

Right lol. Even if he embellished it slightly sometimes I wonder about people in one hand they quickly will embrace misinformation or disinformation but even if someone maybe be a slightly off from the whole truth while there is a lot of substance probably confirming such things they go nuts as well. Lol.
They didnt name anyone, They made it vague enough like the crackpot 1-800 psychics they usually are.
Sound like it's time for a PlayStation 5 that's backwards compatible with all of the previous systems and an improved PlayStation Now service.
I don't know if there's some major obstacle keeping that from happening. I agree that video games shouldn't have an expiration date.
Agree with pretty much everything here
Also Kotaku is washed. Another publication resorting to clickbait in a time of declining ad revenue. More people get video game news from streamers on Twitch
yeah, i rarely even go to actual gaming sites/blogs anymore. Twitter and era are pretty mucch all the gaming news i can handle with proper context also. On top of that you have your dozens of weekly gaming podcast for actual discussion
clickbait won't save them
Gonna need receipt for that statement, as far as I'm aware Apple hasn't shared subscription figures for Apple Arcade. They have however cancelled contract and asked developers to make games that will encourage long term engagement. When a company choose not to share numbers it ain't because there doing well.
Apple Cancels Arcade Game Projects As It Seeks Greater Engagement
Apple earns more from gaming than Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, Activision combined | AppleInsider
Apple's profits from gaming outweighed those of major game companies, according to a report, with Apple earning more from App Store games in its 2019 fiscal year than Nintendo, Microsoft, Activision Blizzard, and Sony combined.

Didn't say gaming, I was specific talking about Apple Arcade.they are very successful in gaming.Apple earns more from gaming than Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, Activision combined | AppleInsider

Well the person was in charge of content at Apple Arcade so it isn't really about the service itself but rather their expertise in acquiring content for said service and we all know that Apple Arcade at least had some good gets.
So said experience could help PS Mobile, content wise. They don't need to make some sub model though.

Jim Ryan finds the cure to cancer, Kotaku: Why took him so long?
It is pretty funny though, at the start of this gen I was siding on being anti Jimbo with how Japan Studio got closed, other things, etc...
But as more information comes out and I see the direction PS is trying to go with their current releases and investments for the future I am being more pro Jimbo.
The funny stuff is that most of the stuff I was anti about him were already being on route of happening before he even inherited the position or are just straight up lies or spins of what he said.
Agreed...But I also think Jim is saying he finds it frustrating that so many people can't experience TLOU because it's a console game. I think he feels the stories his WWS are telling are up there with big blockbuster movies but they don't reach that audience because of the form factor. I'm not sure how you solve that since movie watching and music is a passive experience. But I do get the sentiment if I was privy to everything all these talented studios are working on wanting to share that with as many as possible. Ultimately, I think you just need to be able to play "playstation" wherever you want. So the streaming stuff is a step in the right direction. Still, not everyone is going to be able to play through some of these epic AAA games just due to complex controls. I think stuff like Animal Crossing, Dreams, Ratchet, Singstar, etc...have a much better chance at reaching massive audiences. You have to hone in on universal gameplay mechanics, which I think Nintendo are still the king.
Also to be fair to MS, they kinda stifled the market some, particularly in the U.S. It would probably just be Nintendo and Sony if PS3 wasn't such a mess up. And if Sony got ALL 3rd party, then yeah, they would be making a lot of money being the only place to play them in the console space. Maybe not hundreds of million like Jimbo talking, but the profits would be higher for sure. This is why Apple makes so much money, EVERYONE is already on the App store. Without MS, that would have happened with Playstation as Nintendo makes unique hardware that 3rd parties often skip.

If Jim really wants to invest in mobile, I do wonder if is by buying a studio and would it be a good cadidate?
Man, one hell of a career. From intern to Vice President in 10 years. He/She must have been an MBA intern with years of prior work experience before going to Ubisoft.Well the person was in charge of content at Apple Arcade so it isn't really about the service itself but rather his expertise in acquiring content for said service and we all know that Apple Arcade at least had some good gets.

Still part of that is because how big Apple ecosystem is hardware wise .
So it going to be interesting to see how Sony mobile efforts go .
I think even games with complex controls could have millions more playing with how much option something like TLOU2 .
I don't expect AAA console games to have mobile numbers but i can see them getting a rather big jump thanks to streaming .
I was more referring to Apple's gaming revenue dwarfing that of Microsoft and Sony. Since the guy Sony hired to help spearhead their rejuvenated mobile gaming division was a key figure in Apple's gaming efforts, I thought it was a smart move to poach a key executive from one of the biggest (and overlooked) names in mobile gaming. Apple's business practices are terrible, but I wasn't really referring to that.
Nice new logo.
Can't wait to see what their collaboration with Sony Pictures Animation would create.
Concrete Genie was super artistic and creative and had a good message.
Wow interesting timing as I just finished it two days ago. Really good game, i can't wait to see what they do next
This shouldn't be against forum rules right, don't mind me, just going to use this post as an online reminder for games to tackle. Busy life atm...lol
- Finish Ratchet and Clank (maybe go for Plat if it's easy)
- Play Kena (definitely plat)
- Play Hollow Knight
- Play Concrete Genie (maybe plat)
- Play A Plague Tale (maybe plat)
- Play Deathloop
- Play Nioh 2
- Play Ghost of Tsushima DE (Plat if easy)
- Play Hades
- Play Yakuza 0 or Like a Dragon

My mistake, Apple does dwarf the consoles. Missed that $15.6 billion was just Apple's cut.

It's easy really.
Just get a job as a top level executive in a gaming company. Anyone can do it!
I think people just hate Sony for whatever reasons or grudges and want to pick a fight with them and so Jim is a perfect scapegoat for that.
Even if he talks about his favourite food, etc...
Should we feel pity for that? Not really Sony is a massive company that can handle itself but it is annoying when any little things regardless of how tame and broad it is can lead to spin off articles and hot takes on how bad Sony or Jim are when the context of said information has nothing to do with that.
I mean it is either this or the whole Sony is doomed comments. I rather take Arrogant Sony comments then the latter.
It isn't like these comments will effect Sony's clear vision on what they have for the PS5 and what objectives they want to tackle anyways.
Im surprised they didnt latch on to the best launch lineup ever etc. he said lol.
If they lack material in a week they can maybe cling to that next.
Yep lol you would think the guy commit war atrocities how some got mad about his who wants to play this old ass game quote.
I refuse to play FFVII the OG because of how ugly it is to me lmao I cant take it lol. call me a graphics snob but early 3d PS1- early PS3 Era games are so ugly and I'm happy to see more and more brought forward.
2D games? Those are pretty much timeless.
I mean at least that's something you can substantively challenge. A number of Nintendo platforms should be stronger candidates. Hell even the N64 launch lineup is debatably better than the PS5 with Super Mario 64 alone.
or how they try and spin him off as some rich guy that just got into the industry a year ago when he was there since the beginning for PS and went through its ups and downs
the irony is the guy has been working at playsattion longer than some of them have been alive
You guys don't get it! He's rich so he's practically just Donald Trump Jr. /s
😂true
he has a ton of experience under his belt and likely a ton of good things for the EU PS branch thanks to him
probably a ton of people look to his experience and expertise in the industry
Sony didn't chose him for no reason, he has a track record and has got a ton of things done
What's Kotaku's point? PS5 isn't accessible enough for Jimbo's comments about reaching more people to be valid or something? Also, I don't really get how anyone can hate this dude after that frank interview. I think Phil Spencer has a really smug face and kinda feels like he's lying all the time, but I don't hate them, they are PR mode when they speak to fans and interact on twitter. But you see small glimpses into how they really are with interviews and they all at least like what they are doing and love gaming like us. That should be enough for normal folks to not have so much animosity towards any of these top execs.

A lot of people just don't understand how Sony just isn't governed to have a revolutionary leader completely overhaul an entire division of a multinational conglomerate. "Well if Jim Ryan wants hundreds of millions of people playing PlayStation games, he should just work to create a new Game Pass!" Sony clearly doesn't work like that. There's no reason for Sony to overhaul how they conduct business in the gaming industry because they are still the market leader. Instead of overhauling SIE, Jim Ryan and the rest of the executive board at Sony are carefully calculating what are the best ways to expand their business without disrupting anything so they could come closer to reaching an even more ubiquitous market. Mobile gaming shows a lot of promise so they are working to develop a large footprint in that market that also enhances their core business. Same thing for PC gaming. Same thing for film and television. Sony is very deliberately integrating the PlayStation brand in different markets to expand their global mindshare. It's still experimental, but it's not particularly exciting to pay attention to compared to what Microsoft is doing with Game Pass. Is that a bad thing? Of course not, but it's still a distinct method of expanding an already powerful gaming brand.
