For the first time in history, Sony has announced that two people will be stepping into the role of CEO for PlayStation following the retirement of Jim Ryan several months ago. When Jim Ryan stepped aside,Sony Interactive Entertainment chairman Hiroki Totoki was appointed as interim-CEO at PlayStation until a suitable replacement could be found. However, in a surprising move Sony has decided to…

Honestly, I'm glad Astro Bot won GOTY. Initially, I was a bit bitter Balatro lost out, but Astro Bot clowned on Sony so hard on release. It showcased all the beloved IPs Sony lets rot in obscurity, only to be acknowledged whenever they pretend to be pioneers of innovation in the industry (see their 30 year anniversary video for that). Team Asobi saw the nonsense of "we have no IPs" and within 24 hours they had an engaging, adorable, well-polished, and tight 3D platformer showing off niche characters and franchises with so much child-like glee. Like, this is a piece of art so unequivocally in love with these games and is willing to absolutely go crazy with it. All the little references and animations show real pride in these incredibly small parts of Playstation's history. And apparently Team Asobi is made of the remnants of Sony's Japan office? Herman Hulst get absolutely fucked by little robot man.

Giochi PlayStation su PC - Un grimaldello per portare nuovi giocatori sulla console?

Il catalogo dei giochi PlayStation 5 sta senza dubbio guadagnando popolarità tra gli utenti di PC, con il nuovo CEO Herman Hulst che ha sottolineato l'impegno sempre maggiore di Sony per portare sempre piu' giochi su PC. E' solo una coincidenza che il numero di possessori di PlayStation 5 sia in aumento oppure molti di questi nuovi clienti vengono appunto dal mondo apparentemente impenetrabile dei PC Gamers?

Chefes da PlayStation querem “superar limites” e escutar os fãs

Por Vinicius Torres Oliveira

Hideaki Nishino e Herman Hulst assumiram o cargo no dia 1º de junho

Os novos chefes da PlayStation, Hideaki Nishino e Herman Hulst, iniciaram oficialmente suas funções em 1º de junho e soltaram um comunicado no site oficial da Sony para tratarem do assunto. Eles enxergam este momento como o começo de uma nova era para a divisão, afirmando que é “um momento realmente empolgante”.

A intenção dos novos diretores executivos é continuar puxando os limites em tecnologia, hardwares e serviços. Isso sem falar na expansão de franquias e no fortalecimento do conteúdo exclusivo da marca, um dos principais chamativos para os consumidores.

PlayStation Studios: entenda quais devs focam em single-player e quais em serviços

“A comunidade PlayStation está no coração de tudo o que fazemos”, diz a declaração. “Embora nem sempre acertemos, sempre ouvimos, aprendemos, crescemos e nos adaptamos […]. Apreciamos nossa comunidade e queremos ser transparentes e compartilhar o que podemos sobre nossa nova estrutura organizacional empolgante.”

Os novos CEOs acreditam que é essencial para a liderança da SIE revisar o negócio de maneira geral e avançar com uma nova estrutura projetada para trazer o melhor da organização e oferecer experiências cada vez mais incríveis.

No ramo dos negócios, as expectativas giram em torno de um notável aumento nos lucros. De olho no espaço digital como um todo, o entretenimento nos games é visto como crucial e por esse motivo, eles “estão se preparando para o crescimento no ramo”.

DNA da PlayStation será mantido com a troca no comando Com muitos jogos como serviço se destacando e essa menção ao crescimento nos lucros da divisão, você pode pensar que a Sony estaria buscando meios para deixar esse DNA de entregar grandes jogos com narrativa de lado. Muito pelo contrário. Os novos CEOs entendem o seguinte:

Jogar e contar histórias são fundamentais para a sociedade. As pessoas estão explorando novas maneiras de interagir com os jogos, assim como os criadores apaixonados dentro de nossos estúdios e nossos parceiros de desenvolvimento criam histórias incrivelmente ricas e novas maneiras imersivas de jogar e construir comunidades. O talento técnico inspirador dentro de nossas equipes de engenharia impulsiona a criação de hardware e serviços de ponta, capacitando os desenvolvedores de jogos com as melhores ferramentas e garantindo que os jogadores tenham as melhores experiências. Somos uma SIE e todos nós somos essenciais para oferecer essas experiências incríveis e compartilhar nosso sucesso contínuo.

Sony's Mass Layoffs

Sony’s Interactive Entertainment, the sector of Sony known for Playstation and gaming, is facing deep cuts. Today, it was announced that Sony has let go of over 900 staff members, restructured the department, and shuttered its London offices. CEO of Sony Interactive Jim Ryan stated that the layoffs affect employees from all regions, however London’s studio will be hit the hardest. 

Jim Ryan stated that the "evolving economic landscape, changes in the way we develop, distribute and launch products" is the reason for the layoffs. PlayStation studio boss Herman Hulst stated that the company needs to take a new and different approach to greeting games that “push the boundaries of play and deliver what you expect of us” and “step back and look at what our business needs.”

The news of these layoffs follows a mass layoff wave that has been hitting the video game industry. Companies like Microsoft, Discord, and Twitch have all been hit with mass layoffs. 

As the PlayStation has reached its fourth year, its life cycle is starting to end. Despite the PS5 reaching a quarterly high sales figure, Sony stated that it is not on par with the internal sales figures they want to reach. Most people who want a PS5 have gotten one, meaning sales figures will start decreasing. Sony’s target unit number is 25 million a year, however it's looking like it’ll be unlikely for them to hit that number. 

Sony’s COO Hiroki Totoki has also stated that Sony Interactive has no major projects due for release before March of 2025, where the PS5 will have been 5 years in development. Todoki, who will be replacing current CEO Jim Ryan in April, has also stated that there's “room for improvement” when it comes to studios spending money, scheduling development, and staying accountable regarding development pipelines. 

As the PS5’s life cycle comes to an end over the next few years, Sony has been facing a bit of an identity crisis. From delays at Sony Interactive to figuring out what's next in the company's grand scheme, I look forward to seeing what comes next from them.
