Good give us a Japanese playstation head again
And move out of from the shitty California headquarters and back to Japan.
And please whatever you do, do not promote that boring Dutch fuck Herman bitch ass Hulst to Jimbo's position. That would be even worse.

Look at the way they do their accounting. It's not apples to apples. A lot of their expenditure isn't booked under Xbox.

Well, if they are doing creative accounting that's not great but I don't know how they will get that passed the shareholders for long.

Good! Bring back Shawn Layden and the ps4 dreamteam and with them all the glory Sony had between 2009 and 2020

I think the Activision buyout may have humbled Sony a bit and they are going to step it up.

maybe, that person who hosted the last state of play is going to take over?

Sony friends, I know a very promising CEO in the gaming industry! Let's hope he takes the reins of Sony's gaming division!
Good guy, his vision is still alive at Xbox so many years later. Hopefully he does some revolutionary things at Playstation too.

One suit goes another one comes. Let's see what the Gaas strategy will lead to in the end and what the next CEO will make of it.

What meltdown?Guess PS is in full meltdown...
The good thing is that PS gamers care more about games instead of worshipping suits and executives.

probably he was president and ceo of sony's mobile division. but he will only be ceo temporarily
playstation does already have a mobile games arm... they just aren't doing anything.

I think Jim Ryan made a good job.
Bought strategic studios, PS Games on PC.
Jim Ryan is not a clown who try to pose as a "gamer" full of lies and bullshit, he is a pro executive and was there since the start in 1994.
There next CEO will be a key for the future. They need to get the right piece on that chair because next year they will be fighting a company that is on all in strategy now.

That's why I haven't liked the way PS has been trending of late but its the games but I know that could just be on me
I don't like the growing GAAS and honestly I have not been thrilled with the recent big games from them
Maybe its just because I am getting old

Business wise yes. Creative and future strategy wise he is the worst CEO to ever be appointed for gaming and not just Sony.

In many ways, Jim Ryans tenure at PlayStation resembles that of Shane. He shows up, becomes a force for good, fixes the mess that Shawn Layden created but also does not have sex with Mrs. Layden, rides off without saying goodbye.
Come back, Jim. Come back.
Come back, Jim. Come back.

I don't play GaaS games. The Division 2 and GT7 are the only two GaaS games I've played for more than 30 hours (apart from Rocket League, which is just PvP MP), but I even played those as purely single-player games.
However, I do understand their reasoning -- even if those GaaS games aren't for me. If Shawn Layden started this, instead of Jim Ryan initiating this in 2020, Sony would have been in much better position today - especially in the context of losing Activision.
I'm the opposite in this sense. As I grew older, I've enjoyed more and more PS Studios titles. I've almost stopped playing MP games completely. It is only PS Studios story-driven action-adventure titles that have kept me in gaming after all these years.

Its not so much I don't enjoy those story driven single player games its just the last couple have bored me especially the last God of War
Honestly I think thats what had me so incredibly hyped for Starfield was a new IP of something I had not played before (and can't wait for Wolverine)
I dunno its hard for me to describe but even SM2 I will play it but just not super excited about it

Can't 100% confirm, but I heard that he did the motion capture for Venom and ended up tearing his ACL, so he is being forced into retirement for health reasons.

He is 63 per Bloomberg.
This is also something I don't understand, I've seen people saying this multiple times, but I don't see why it has to be one or the other like that.
I know plenty of people who play on consoles but not even for the exclusives, just because they prefer consoles.
My brother in law only has playstation consoles but that's just because he's used to play on playstation really, he doesn't even play the big exclusives, mostly play COD and the usual popular multiplayer games lol But he has no interest on PC.
I'm not sure why it's such a mystery for some people, why consoles would become useless if suddenly they don't have games exclusive to only them. It's about the platform too.
(edit: just to be sure, I'm agreeing with you, in case there's a confusion on why I quoted you, I was just adding to your point
Clearly some console gamers feel threatened by the idea for reasons. I've yet to read a concrete answer as to why it is a bad thing from a gamer perspective. As I said before, PS games on PC will not transform console gamers into PC gamers. The majority of PS gamers are not even gaming there for exclusives. They are there for the CODs, Maddens, FIFAs, Fortnite, etc etc. We see that every year in the PS best selling games.
Having said that, I've also said I get why Sony prioritizes their console business. They have loyal fans there and they don't have to share revenue with Valve or Epic. So from a business standpoint, yeah, I get why.
What's with you? You are making this weirdly personal. If I don't have to spend $500 on another device then that is reason enough for me to want all games on one platform. It's really just that simple. Why don't you step back and try to discuss this without being personally offended by this stuff? It's just video games man.
Nah. If I believed that PS games being on PC day one would truly damage the PS platform then I would not be in favor of it at all. But that's simply not the case, imo.
But you tell me why it is so important for PS games to not be on PC day one? How does it reduce your enjoyment of those games? But please.....stop making it personal.

You're not alone in feeling that way. The Spiderman game's bore the living shit out of me and I desperately wanted to like them. I preferred God of War Ragnarok personally. Horizon Forbidden West I enjoyed, but it eventually burnt me out.
