Former PlayStation government Shuhei Yoshida has been sharing fairly a couple of insights on the video games trade since his departure from Sony. Among them, he says it is perhaps time for Sony to rethink its adherence to cutting-edge graphics.

In an interview with AVWatch (translated by way of Genki_JPN), Yoshida mentioned it is time for PlayStation to rethink its focus.

“Up till now, PlayStation’s DNA has been pushed by values resembling ‘cutting-edge graphics’ which have continued since [Ken Kutaragi]’s time,” Yoshida mentioned. “Users have additionally anticipated that from PlayStation video games. However, it is about time we’ve to rethink that.

“Of course, I believe it’s a necessity to supply the easiest (when it comes to graphics high quality) to those that need it,” Yoshida continued. “But, to be able to proceed to be common with customers in a broad sense, we naturally have to alter our mind-set.”

There’s little doubt that video games like Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us Part 2, or different main Sony exclusives have put plenty of focus into graphical constancy. Yet Yoshida’s feedback point out it is perhaps time to rethink strategy.

Whether that is the blueprint for a renewed strategy to video games or not, I actually would not complain about extra video games like NieR: Automata going round.
