Xbox Games On PS5 Is A Win For PlayStation Owners, Former Sony Boss Says
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida has commented on Microsoft’s relatively new strategy whereby it launches some of its first-party games on rival platforms, including PS5. For Microsoft, this is about making money and bringing its games to more people. It’s also a win for PS5 owners, according to Yoshida.
“I think it’s a win for PlayStation owners; they didn’t have access [to those games] before,” he said on the Sacred Symbols podcast, as reported by VGC.
Yoshida was at one point managing Sony’s first-party game production pipeline before he switched positions to running the indies team. When he was running first-party, Yoshida said it was a “nightmare” scenario for PlayStation to become “the minority platform” because that would make it “impossible to maintain the first-party development because the best creators would leave.”
