John Koller SCEA responds.
John Koller, vice president of marketing for Sony Computer Entertinament America, said in an extensive interview with CVG about the recent announcement of the PlayStation Now platform, which allows Sony to offer games through a streaming service.
After the announcement of PlayStation Now many questions arise, one of them is if Sony will continue to be a manufacturer of physical consoles as we know it today, or are you going to bet in the long run, only the PlayStation brand as a gaming platform. Kohler replied:
“is not necessarily the future of PlayStation, but a philosophical change is a reality and we want our gaming experiences are widely experienced. So when you look for PS3 games with a large catalog, with a line of games and strong and very diverse genres we want people to be able to try them, yes, the PlayStation platforms, but if you have a Bravia TV will be great if you can grab in your DualShock 3 to play instantly, ” Kohler said.
“The great thing about PlayStation Now is your instant gameplay, because this is a problem in this industry. We have to solve it and I think it does. We have been working on it as the downloads with the Play-mechanical- you-download on the PlayStation 4, and the PS Now we have people to play instantly whether you’re on PlayStation 4, a Bravia TV, or occasionally, a tablet or smartphone. “
“We have been very open and optimistic about the physical consoles. therefore do not believe that the PlayStation Now will replace consoles in the future.’ll allow, instead, show our intention of focusing on content as main element, “he said, denying so this digital platform is a substitute for the consoles.
“Again we will focus first on the player. Obviously they want great content and great experiences. Thanks to PS Now, these experiences can be lived in several different places. So now we are in a more open position.”
