Jim Ryan bids farewell to PlayStation with a motivational message
Its no secret that PlayStation is going through a difficult time. Its release schedule leaves much to be desired and it recently stumbled with its games-as-a-service strategy. Despite this, its business is still in the green and its sales are going from strength to strength.
Because of this, Jim Ryan believes that the brands future is bright and that it will achieve even greater things. In his farewell message, he highlighted the success of PlayStation 5. He stated that the experience offered by the system is the best they have offered so far. For such reason, he is proud of what has been achieved with the console.
"Id say that right now, were at the top of our game. PlayStation 5 [is] well on-track to be our most successful console ever, across multiple vectors. I think the games and gaming experiences you see on [PS5], lead by PS Studios, are the best that weve ever seen," the executive said.
On the other hand, Ryan also highlighted the games on offer for PlayStation 5 for their enormous variety. He stated that the future looks promising thanks to the investments they have made in several of their studios and also due to recent acquisitions.
"The number of games weve published so far on [PS5], at this point in the cycle, way exceeds anything that weve ever done before, and with all the investment that weve put into the studios, and the acquisitions that weve made, that is only going to accelerate and snowball. We sit in a position of strength, and I think the future is bright," Ryan added.
