- Sony Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida responded to a question about the death of console gaming as is being *predicted by Michael Patcher during a livestreamed panel from EGX in Birmingham, he said:
“Michael is fun to listen to, right? (laughs)

We look at all of these analyst reports, and every year, from the same company, the forecast changes hugely, because of the things that happen in the year before. They change their prediction dramatically.
I don’t, you know, mind hearing something like that, because it’s so interesting… Consoles were announced dead for the longest time. Even at the time when PlayStation One was being worked on, some analyst said that PC games would dominate in the future and there would be no place for home consoles.
Every time these things are proven wrong, and as long as we have passionate people wanting to continue to play on game consoles, we wll try hard to continue, and even make it bigger for the future.”
- *Michael Patcher said next generation would be half as big as the current one though, not that consoles would outright die and that console gaming should not require a console...
- Yoshida also talked about PlayStation remastered and how Sony is selectively picking PS3 games to remastered as allegedly about half of those who own a PS4 did not own a PS3
- when asked about what Sony Bend is doing he teased that they “exists, and they are making some awesome cool game.”
