Seriously now, how well do you think Jim Ryan is running PlayStation? I know we have fun here but I am curious on peoples real detailed opinions on how Jim Ryan has handled PlayStation since 2019 until today.
For me personally? I think he's doing a splendid job. he addressed many concerns people had from Yoshida and co. in the last years of the PS4, organized internal studios to become more efficient without the infighting or dissatisfaction with management, has streamlined Sony's marketing to be more understandable to the average customer, has opened up the PlayStation ecosystem, and has given us some of the best transparency in company history.
He's removed the shackles off the old fortress ideology of previous PlayStations, and is now expanding the PlayStation ecosystem to mobile and PC. But unlikely in the early 2010's, not in a confusing way, he has all the teams synergized to work together so things are more seamless. That's why I think Sony's latest attempt at diving into the mobile market will be a success because they have a game plan that for the first time, has the entirety of PlayStation on the same page, same with their new PC department, I expect the Sony PSN software team to talk with other departments of PlayStation so PSN will be integrated with PC as well as console, not much different than how both PC and Xbox have their own gamepass, but I don't think Sony will separate them like MS, I think Sony is going for one unified PSN/PS Plus service, causing less confusion.
I also noticed for Japanese game imports, he has dialed back on the censorship. A common complaint by fans of those games from the PS4 era. He has also walked back on the previous administration trying to strong-arm developers, and the refusal to expand cross-play. He has done a complete 360 on the more selfish strategies Sony used to implement..
This will result in Sony software selling more than ever before within the expanded PlayStation ecosystem, which will comprise of PS5, Mobile, and PC, reaching millions more gamers than ever before. So a game that may not have met expectations now has two more platforms to sell on to make up for any falling short of projections.
