You have the mobile phone and the tablet, both of which can connect to a PC. You have keyboards that can connect to mobile & Tablet devices, as well as storage ones too. We do not need handheld gaming designed devices becoming exactly the same as a mobile/tablet device, because those other two serve their purpose, and they do so to billions out there. Consoles have been primarily used as gaming devices for decades. Just because they allow you to listen to music and watch Netflix doesn't automatically take away the fact that the systems are designed purely for gaming first and everything else second and third. People have different ideas for the future, and it appears that the majority do not share in one man's "I think we should all be doing this like it or not" dream. |
You're too kind to him. There's plenty of cases with built in controllers that KBG could use. The developers of fortnite already annonced they will be adding bluetooth controller support, so there's already or soon will be a way to play fortnite exactly as he described. But, since these phones are not as powerful as a PS4 and the controls are left to the game developers instead of supported automatically by the platform, It's just not good enough for the likes of Kevyn here. Ohh no. Sony is supposed to make a mobile Playstation phone that would likely be the most expensive phone in history, and sink all of that development time for a few thousand in sales at best because he would really like one.
I have a really hard time imagining Ken Kutagari stating that he envisioned playstation's OS to be on phones and car stereos and for all of those devices to interact with each other seamlessly and play the same copies of games. Source?
Ken oversaw the development of 4 of the 6 Sony consoles so he had plenty of time to implement his "Playstation is the hub of our digital lives" vision. Kev, are you forgetting his vision caused him to foolishly produce a "FIVE HUNDRED NINETY NINE US DOLLAR" console that had him ousted, and forced his successors to fight tooth and nail for years to recover from such a mis-step? As it turns out, the people who are interested in game consoles aren't willing to shell out hundreds extra to be on the bleeding edge of home entertainment technology. Meanwhile I bet dollars to donuts when our boy Kev here saw the PS3 announcement he thought something along the lines of "Why didn't they announce a PS3 that plays every game in 1080p/60fps, and has a built in DVR for $1199? I would have bought that day one!" . Meanwhile the PS4 Pro didn't even ship with a 4K blu-ray drive, and Kev here just isn't cluing in that Sony has zero interest in making the products Kevyn wants since you know, they want to make money.
