Sony’s Yoshida was asked about a number of things during E3 that was overshadowed due to everything else going on in the news at the time.  One of the more interesting points brought up was in reference to promised features that were announced in February for the PS4, that have so far remained elusive on the console.  Yoshida also commented on the lack of AAA games coming to the PS4 this fall.

A few other PS4 odds and ends: During our conversation about PS4, Yoshida also talked about the relative lack of big Sony-published games slated for Sony’s console this fall. Driveclub and LittleBigPlanet 3 are coming, and an even-more-HD edition of the acclaimed The Last of Us will be out by then, but that’s not exactly a full line-up of blockbuster, so-called AAA games.

YOSHIDA RESPONDS:

“We’ve been saying that the number of AAAs might be getting smaller because the cost of development for AAAs is getting higher,” he said. “But there are so many indie games and great games coming out almost every week or every other week. We’re seeing it on PS4. I hope you’re seeing it as well.” ~Yoshida

          He is stating an obvious fact about THE INDUSTRY IN GENERAL. As AAA budgets get more expensive and the market shrinks, less AAA games will be made. PS4 has tons of AAA games with many more on the way.

          Why are microsoft fanboys so malicious and evil and love lying about “no money lolol”? Sony still has a large number of 1st party studios that are well funded, making money, and all working on PS4 games. Stop spreading lies and hate.

          PS4 is outselling Xbox 8 million to 4.5 million yet there’s a disproportionately huge number of bitter microsoft shills on disqus spreading lies and hate about PS4, Sony, and anyone who likes their games. I wonder why that is.

          Disqus is swarming with dumb, hateful, delusional, feces flinging ms fanboys constantly invading disqus and spreading lies, ignorance, and hatred. Like “BANKRUPT!!1″, “DOWNGRADE!!1″, “NOGAMES DELAY INDIESTATION!!1″, “RUNS BETTER ON XBOX!!1″ and “SONY LIED!!1″.

          Another typical dumb, delusional, malicious, constantly wrong microsoft fanboy that has no clue about technology or sales, just feces flinging and screaming like an imbecile.

          Apparently PS4’s stronger hardware, ~3.5 million sales lead, large number of 1st party developers, more games, and more developer support have microsoft fanboys extremely upset, causing them to spread lies and hatred. Thankfully everyone is ignoring these children and buying PS4s like hotcakes anyway.

          8+ million PS4s and counting. Nothing you say will stop it, you are helpless. Keep lying and hating while everyone else ignores you.

          It’s sad PS4 is dominating so badly that you’re left desperately wishing Sony would go bankrupt. Keep dreaming.

          PS4 has the superior visuals on all console AAA multiplats, more dev support including indies, a large number of first party studios, free to play games and MMOs, and unannounced 1st party games. Titanfall 2 and future 3rd party games will almost certainly be on PS4.

          1st/2nd party studios include Japan Studio, Polyphony Digital, Naughty Dog, SCE Bend, SCE San Diego, SCE Santa Monica, Sucker Punch, Pixel Opus, Evolution Studios, Guerrilla Games, Guerrilla Cambridge, SCE London, Media Molecule, Insomniac, Ready at Dawn, Quantic Dream, etc.

          PS4 games not on Xbox One: Killzone, inFamous Second Son & First Light, Dynasty Warriors 8, Final Fantasy XIV, War Thunder, DC Universe, Yakuza Isshin and other Japanese games, MLB 14 The Show, Bound by Flame, Injustice Gods Among Us, Knack, Natural Doctrine, Uncharted, Planetside 2, Dragon Ball Z, MotoGP, Deep Down, Driveclub, The Last of Us Remastered, The Witness, The Order, LittleBigPlanet 3, Entwined, Bloodborne, Let It Die, Rachet & Clank, Kingdom Under Fire 2, Tropico 5, Guilty Gear Xrd, Samurai Warriors 4 and a ton of indies including Resogun.

          PS4 will have the graphics advantage the entire gen. PS4 hardware and software will outsell Xbox globally the entire gen. PS4 will have more dev support and more 1st party games the entire gen. Sony still has a large number of 1st party studios and they’re all working on PS4 games. PS4 will make a net profit, Sony won’t go bankrupt.

        3.5 million lead is nothing.

        The winning console will have sold over 100 million this gen before the next gen appears.

        He’s being honest and anyone with an objective mind would agree. And the fact that you immediately attack him with insults shows that you’re just another fanboy blinded by their unconditional love for a corporation who laughs at you for being a shill who they don’t have to pay. It’s hilarious that these exact same fanboys, whether they wear Sony or Microsoft knee pads, are the same people who ridicule the drones who buy Apple products… yet you’re all exactly the same.

        And fyi, i don’t own either console and don’t plan on buying one of them. I refuse to buy any next-gen console that doesn’t have the performance ability to play ALL games at 1080p at a level of detail on par with at least “high” on PC games. Paying good money for two year old mobile PC hardware tech just encourages these corporations to continue suckering gamers with future releases of lackluster hardware.

          Yoshida is stating an obvious fact – as AAA budgets get more expensive and the market shrinks, less AAA games will be made. Yet you take it as a sign PS4 will lack AAA games, which is WRONG and delusional fanboy hatred. PS4 has tons of AAA games with many more to come.

          PS4 is a great price/performance value for $400. You have no clue what you’re talking about, clearly a stupid and malicious fanboy shill. “Bu bu bu just buy a PC!”

          It’s very obvious TheRedDragon is a Microsoft fan boy. Don’t try and defend him. TheRedDragon tries hard to play the unbias role and only feeds info to keep the Xbox fan boys on his channel going. He doesn’t even own a PS4, yet he tries to downplay everything pertaining to PS4 because he is damage controlling for Xbox. He searches the internet far and wide for missleading PS4 news so he can report it while ignoring major downplay articles for Xbox One. He fails to report news that proves his prior reports false and only reports news that supports his bias towards Xbox One. He is the problem in social media and is allways giving half truths. Notice how he barely ever mentions Nintendo and only focuses on Xbox and PS4. Why is that? Use your brain. Go watch his videos. He has backed himself into a corner. LOL

      No, I think that is allmost certainly unlikey. Xbox One is getting indies as well. Haven’t you heard? Microsoft’s console currently has less AAA exclusives, less AAA exclusives announced, and less studios. Microsoft’s lies, allways online DRM, forced Kinect, Xbox Live app paywall, and mimicing of Sony have people embarrassed to be seen purchasing an Xbox One.

      He was talking about the industry as a whole, not just the PS4. Gotta have those “sensational” articles though from “respectable” journalists though. His statement is completely true, as seen in Irrational Games (creators of Bioshock) who have quit the AAA scene for mobile platforms. Buying an Xbox One won’t change that.

      they’re all working on PS4 games. PS4 will make a net profit, Sony won’t
      go bankrupt.

      It’s sad that Microsoft fanboy shills are
      so desperate that their only hope is for Playstation to disappear
      completely instead of continuing to dominate in sales.

      Sony is
      selling or splitting off their lossy businesses (Vaio, TVs) and focusing
      on their profitable divisions. This means they’ll soon cut their losses
      and start turning a profit. You should be worried if Sony WASN’T
      cutting those losing divisions, but they’re making the right business
      decisions. They won’t ever be an empire again but they aren’t going
      under.

      The gaming division and first party studios are well
      funded, are in a net profit, and working on PS4 games. During the
      quarter ending 31st December 2013 the Game business made a profit of
      $172m off the back of an impressive 64.6 per cent rise in sales year on
      year. Sony is in for a year or two of losses and restructuring, then
      provided their profitable divisions stay profitable, they’ll be on solid
      ground.

      Sony is still worth 18.5 billion (in market cap). They
      just aren’t bringing in enough revenue or profits to bring that number
      up, and for a time, and probably for a few quarters here or there for
      the next few years, they might lose money. They also obviously have
      working capital, because they have games in development right now, and
      are able to market their newest system and do what they have to do to
      sell their products. If Sony were on the brink of bankruptcy, we
      wouldn’t be seeing AAA game announcements with budgets ranging from
      $50-100 million dollars. If they were on the brink of bankruptcy, they
      wouldn’t be buying Gaikai, or investing in new tech such as Morpheus or
      the PS4. PS4 will make a net profit, and Sony won’t go bankrupt.

      Sony
      Game, Financial Services, Devices, Music, Mobile Products &
      Communications, and Pictures are all profitable divisions. They aren’t
      going anywhere, sorry.

      Sony’s market cap is 18.65 billion as of today (2014).
      Market cap in 2013 was 17.6 billion it has gone up since then.
      Sony is ranked #80 in world as the most valuable brand 2013.

      Sony is ranked #506 in the global 2000
      #87 in Sales
      #171 in Assets
      #547 in Market value
      78.52 billion dollars in sales in 2013

      Sony Games Division FY 1995-2013:
      -9+57+117+137+77-51+83+113+68+43+9-232-125-58-56+48+29+2-8 = 244 billion yen net profit

      Yes the games division is still a NET PROFIT even after the PS3 losses, PS1 and PS2 were just that successful.

      Sony
      still has over 18 billion in cash reserves, the loss they have is large
      no doubt about this, was already set aside in restructuring costs, by
      doing this now they are going to be saving in over 1 billion in costs!
      This takes time, and in that time if Sony did not do what the board has
      done it would have been far worse, over 2 billion in further losses.

      The
      point is playstation stock is not for public buy in. Sony has over 148
      billion in physical assets, sony could indeed liquidate every thing
      except for smart phones, entertainment and playstation and still have
      paid off debt, and still have 18 billion on hand to invest back into the
      three core pillars of the company.,

    A comment about the industry as a whole spun into being just about PS4, nice propaganda smear campaign you got going there the xtots should eat it up.

    • John Doe

      Yes, you’re correct.

  • Cigi

    Well maybee it has just a lot to do with this:

    Sony has lost 85 billion yen ($831 million) since Hirai became CEO in 2012 and predicts another 50 billion-yen loss this year….. The company has cut about 18,000 jobs, including engineers, during the last two years.

    “The shocking thing for me was too many excuses,” Renate said. “Sony is really going down.”

    While investors aren’t calling for Hirai’s job yet, they do want the turnaround to show traction after the company cut its earnings three times last year. Sony is now worth about $17 billion, compared with a market valuation of about $120 billion in 1999.

      has the superior visuals on all console AAA multiplats, more dev
      support including indies, a large number of first party studios, free to
      play games and MMOs, and unannounced 1st party games. Titanfall 2 and
      future 3rd party games will almost certainly be on PS4.

      1st/2nd
      party studios include Japan Studio, Polyphony Digital, Naughty Dog, SCE
      Bend, SCE San Diego, SCE Santa Monica, Sucker Punch, Pixel Opus,
      Evolution Studios, Guerrilla Games, Guerrilla Cambridge, SCE London,
      Media Molecule, Insomniac, Ready at Dawn, Quantic Dream, etc.

      PS4
      games not on Xbox One: Killzone, inFamous Second Son & First Light,
      Dynasty Warriors 8, Final Fantasy XIV, War Thunder, DC Universe, Yakuza
      Isshin and other Japanese games, MLB 14 The Show, Bound by Flame,
      Injustice Gods Among Us, Knack, Natural Doctrine, Uncharted, Planetside
      2, Dragon Ball Z, MotoGP, Deep Down, Driveclub, The Last of Us
      Remastered, The Witness, The Order, LittleBigPlanet 3, Entwined,
      Bloodborne, Let It Die, Rachet & Clank, Kingdom Under Fire 2,
      Tropico 5, Guilty Gear Xrd, Samurai Warriors 4 and a ton of indies
      including Resogun.

      PS4 will have the graphics advantage the
      entire gen. PS4 hardware and software will outsell Xbox globally the
      entire gen. PS4 will have more dev support and more 1st party games the
      entire gen. Sony still has a large number of 1st party studios and
      they’re all working on PS4 games. PS4 will make a net profit, Sony won’t
      go bankrupt.

      It’s sad that Microsoft fanboy shills are so desperate that their only hope is for Playstation to disappear completely instead of continuing to dominate in sales.

      Sony is selling or splitting off their lossy businesses (Vaio, TVs) and focusing on their profitable divisions. This means they’ll soon cut their losses and start turning a profit. You should be worried if Sony WASN’T cutting those losing divisions, but they’re making the right business decisions. They won’t ever be an empire again but they aren’t going under.

      The gaming division and first party studios are well funded, are in a net profit, and working on PS4 games. During the quarter ending 31st December 2013 the Game business made a profit of $172m off the back of an impressive 64.6 per cent rise in sales year on year. Sony is in for a year or two of losses and restructuring, then provided their profitable divisions stay profitable, they’ll be on solid ground.

      Sony is still worth 18.5 billion (in market cap). They just aren’t bringing in enough revenue or profits to bring that number up, and for a time, and probably for a few quarters here or there for the next few years, they might lose money. They also obviously have working capital, because they have games in development right now, and are able to market their newest system and do what they have to do to sell their products. If Sony were on the brink of bankruptcy, we wouldn’t be seeing AAA game announcements with budgets ranging from $50-100 million dollars. If they were on the brink of bankruptcy, they wouldn’t be buying Gaikai, or investing in new tech such as Morpheus or the PS4. PS4 will make a net profit, and Sony won’t go bankrupt.

      Sony Game, Financial Services, Devices, Music, Mobile Products & Communications, and Pictures are all profitable divisions. They aren’t going anywhere, sorry.

      Sony’s market cap is 18.65 billion as of today (2014).
      Market cap in 2013 was 17.6 billion it has gone up since then.
      Sony is ranked #80 in world as the most valuable brand 2013.

      Sony is ranked #506 in the global 2000
      #87 in Sales
      #171 in Assets
      #547 in Market value
      78.52 billion dollars in sales in 2013

      Sony Games Division FY 1995-2013:
      -9+57+117+137+77-51+83+113+68+43+9-232-125-58-56+48+29+2-8 = 244 billion yen net profit

      Yes the games division is still a NET PROFIT even after the PS3 losses, PS1 and PS2 were just that successful.

      Sony still has over 18 billion in cash reserves, the loss they have is large no doubt about this, was already set aside in restructuring costs, by doing this now they are going to be saving in over 1 billion in costs! This takes time, and in that time if Sony did not do what the board has done it would have been far worse, over 2 billion in further losses.

      The point is playstation stock is not for public buy in. Sony has over 148 billion in physical assets, sony could indeed liquidate every thing except for smart phones, entertainment and playstation and still have paid off debt, and still have 18 billion on hand to invest back into the three core pillars of the company.

        WOUW – I really hit a nerve there didn’t I LOL

        Just read your own shit man – you say they have a market cap of 18.65 billion and below that you state they have 18 billion in cash reserves. Seems like the stock market doesn’t agree with you as to the brand value… they pay below cash value … LOL LOL LOL

        Does it hurt much – please take you medicine boy

    I see what you’re doing lol

    Sony has at least 14 studios. If you did your research you would know that. Do you think Sony is currently paying all 14 of them to sit around with their thumbs inserted? No. You’re manipulating people by taking what Yoshida said out of context.

    Big budget titles take a lot of time and money. He is basically saying to expect less AAA first party games in contrast to indies. You should also expect less first party games compared to 3rd party for obvious reasons. It is like this every generation with every console.

    Now why don’t we look at how the PS4 is in second place in terms of first party game quantity. However the Wii U obviously in first and has more 1rst party games out than the others because the Wii U had a major head start. Xbox is last.

    PS4 first party AAA exclusives out this year, MLB14 The Show, Little Big Planet 3, Infamous Second Son, Driveclub, The Last of Us Remastered, Everquest Next, Planetside 2 and then you have 3rd party exclusives like Deep Down.

    Xbox One first party AAA exclusives out this year is Forza Horizon 2, Halo Anniversary, Kinect Sports Rivals and THATS IT, then look at 3rd party exclusives like Titanfall, Fantasia Music Evolved, and Sunset Overdrive.

    Then look at the Wii U

    I hope you enjoy dancing around in front of Kinect with your low budget Kinect games like Sports Rivals RedDragon. You’ve been supportting and defending Kinect since the beginning RedDragon. You’ve been telling people how amazing it is. So how are you enjoying Kinect Sports Rivals RedDragon? :)
