Cross posting from the Playstation EU job thread, wanted to see what you guys think.
So Playstation US is slowly becoming the Nintendo NCL? The head honcho headquarters who calls all the shots instead of each division making their own choices? Could lead to optimization of performance in the future.
Though I'm not sure how Europe will take this as Playstation EU was a powerhouse in establishing and stabilizing the brand in Europe. Without that power and always having to cater to American power/American perspective, that might lead to dissonance or favoritism. PS Japan has suffered from this mentality by not developing big Japanese catering first party games beyond like 1 or 2 this gen like Bloodborne, the rest were either lower scale/budget games or American/European localized games. Curious as to why the need to change as it seemed things were working out for each division pretty well by catering to each audience (even Japan to an extent but not as strong for the reason and point I'm making). Each division was able to build and develop a library that made Playstation as a whole well rounded. I'm sure Europe will still be in their plans and eyesight when planning games but my question is how much will the shift be (if any) in terms of who they're catering to/paying attention to the most
