2016 will bring an "unprecedented rush" of big games for PlayStation 4 that, along with PlayStation VR, will combine for a package so compelling that system sales are likely to grow even further. That's according to PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida, who said in an interview with 4Gamer (via DualShockers) that 2016 is shaping up to be a banner year for the PS4.

"2016 marks an unprecedented rush of big titles for PS4," Yoshida said. "It's also the year of the long-awaited launch of PlayStation VR. It's the year PS4 users, and those who are on the fence on whether to buy it will absolutely think, 'It's good to have a PS4.' Please look forward to it."

Some of the big PS4 console exclusives for 2016 include Street Fighter V, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Gran Turismo Sport, and The Last Guardian. There are also going to be a number of big-name multiplatform games released on PS4 next year, of course.

[TheSpoiler]

A rush of Yakuza games.

I'm excited.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

The greatest games lineup in PlayStation history.

 

[BadWolf]

It's going to be a crazy year for releases.

 

[Pankratous]

Yeah, it's going to be a mental year for PS4.

 

[Dio]

Yeah, it's true.

If I didn't already own a PS4, I'd buy one just because Yoko Taro's making Nier: Automata with a studio that's far more technically competent than Cavia and Access ever were with Drakengard and Nier, and presumably more money than he usually gets to make his games.

 

[boredandlazy]

Darn tootin'.

 

[SpikeOut]

I was starting to get tired of the endless ports of indie PC titles.

 

[eFKac]

The best lineup in PlayStation history.

It's time for this Shuhei.

Also please provide us MAU's.

 

[somecrazymember]

I'm still convinced Horizon and TLG will be delayed to 2017. Thats ok though, 2016 will still be packed

 

[mdubs]

Expected since Persona 5, the incoming game of forever is forthcoming

 

[Elandyll]

Probably too big for my wallet... Gonna have to pace myself.

 

[harSon]

The greatest games lineup in PlayStation history.

He basically said that though

 

[Teletraan1]

Unprecedented is a tarnished word in this industry after the EA/Wii U situation.

Should be a pretty solid year for PS4 owners. I actually thought this year was pretty good.

 

[Tuck]

Well yeah cause everything got pushed from 2015...

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Heh, 50/50 on Horizon getting delayed to 2017.

 

[Kouriozan]

2016 best gaming year confirmed.

 

[Dragonslayer_023]

Horizon: Zero Dawn, Gran Turismo Sport, and The Last Guardian.

More like unprecedented rush of delays am I right?

 

[Kosma]

PSVR is really happening next year? Better start saving!

 

[Spirited]

Every platform seems to have a rush of big games next year.
Looking forward to it.

 

[Alucrid]

I think there's like 3k worth of games I want to get in 2016

 

[Nameless]

Yeah there are around 10 games I want in the JRPG genre alone. Throw in VR and everything else it should be a pretty crazy year.

Not that 2015 was a slouch

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Yoshida says a lot of things and IMO he hasnt delivered so far with PS4...

 

[Abriael]

Looks familiar.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

thems fightin words

 

[JayWood2010]

Uncharted, Persona, and Horizon already makes it a pretty good lineup for me. Looking forward to E3.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Even if half of the big games get delayed, it should still be a pretty great year.

 

[DrunkShogun]

Expected since Persona 5, the incoming game of forever is forthcoming

More honest words have never been spoken. It's a god year for playstation because it's a rare time when both east and west developers are bringing their games out. If there's no delays then 2016 could easily be one of those years you refer back to.

 

[dragonflys545]

Take my money. Take em' all...

 

[LewieP]

With the crowded release schedule, it's going to be pretty tough for smaller games to compete. I wonder what titles might fall through the cracks.

Certainly good for the users though, there's a ton of games coming that I want to play.

 

[Ostinatto]

He didn't mentioned Persona 5...

Guys?

 

[BadWolf]

I'm still convinced Horizon and TLG will be delayed to 2017. Thats ok though, 2016 will still be packed

No way they would have re-revealed TLG if they weren't perfectly sure of its release.

 

[Fisty]

My wallet is already in hiding

 

[dragonflys545]

He didn't mentioned Persona 5...

Guys?

Because all the games he mentioned will be publish by them.

 

[Sjefen]

i am really looking forward to 2016, PSVR and huge AAA titles will make the year very good. 2015 was great but 2016 will be awesome

 

[On Demand]

It's going to be a good JRPG year for me.

 

[BadWolf]

He didn't mentioned Persona 5...

Guys?

He only mentioned PS4 exclusives.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

The greatest games lineup in PlayStation history.

Haha, that's exactly what I was thinking

 

[AetherZX]

That title change.

 

[mejin]

No Yakuza 0 in 2016 still hurts here.

Overall, ps4 in 2016 has a killer lineup.

 

[JetSetRadio]

Very exciting year, so good.

 

[Jabba]

Lol, at title change.

 

[theytookourjobz]

Sweet title change. Seems like everything will be awesome in 2016. Good news.

 

[On Demand]

lol at the title change.

 

[Maxximo]

Nice title change.

 

[entremet]

Love that thread title change.

 

[SuitedforGaming]

This is great. It will be nice to use my ps4 for something. It has been collecting dust next to my xbone for most of the year.

 

[Cotrip]

Some are vaporwares, some will be delayed (or released after 2016), but it's looking quite good:

[Killer Queen]

I'm still convinced Horizon and TLG will be delayed to 2017. Thats ok though, 2016 will still be packed

Don't jinx it.

 

[Boogdud]

Fast forward a year:

"Welp, 2017 isn't going to be a precedent year, but it'll be pretty good, probably"
