It is time to hype the Japan launch... early? I don't think so.
| Sony Computer Entertainment Japan and Asia President Hiroshi Kawano was interviewed on the latest issue of the Japanese magazine Weekly Famitsu, and he mentioned a few very interesting details about an unannounced PS4 game and his opinion on the local competition. "After the western release of the PS4 the pre-orders of the PS4 and the camera bundle have increased in Japan. I’d be lying if I said I’m not very aware of the competition with other platforms, but that’s not all that matters. What really matters is that the industry is still an interesting place to work in and is growing." To the question on the possibility to pre-order and buy the console from now on he responded: "I can’t promise it, but we’ll make an effort in that direction. We might run a launch event for our customers on February 22nd. The plan is to release software on PS4 constantly after launch. There’s also one title I can’t yet announce. I’m considering how to disclose it in the future, so look forward to it." While we have no information on what game Kawano-san is talking about, it’s most likely a title from Sony Japan Studio, even if there’s no way to be sure. We’ll keep you posted if any new details surface. |
