In a recently published interview, Sony platform business group CEO Hideaki Nis💞hino affirms that PlayStation consoles are here to stay, though the company still wa♊nts to reach players on PC and elsewhere.

Speaking to (translated via DeepL and compared with Google Translate), Nishino says that since many of us are still playing PS4 games and "the number of PS5 games is increasing," he doesn't see PlayStation majorl🍃y changing any time soon. He thinks consoles will be the center of Sony's gaming business⛎ for "a while."

Nishino adds that while the PlayStation൲ Portal now supports cloud streaming, essentially enabling console-free gaming, "you still need a controller and a screen at your fingertips," so he reiterateꦬs that hardware isn't going ♓anywhere.

But there are plenty of people in the world who don't own a PlayStation machine and maybe never will. On that, Nishino notes that the company wants to reach a growing number of players on other platforms like PC. (One outreach method has included making PC players create a PSN account to play some games, which didn't go down well in the Helldivers 2 community.)

In some ways, this echoes Xbox's playbook for a multiplatform push, with Sony considering ways to gain PlayStation users outside PlayStation consoles. Unlike Xbox, Nishino specifically points to Sony's flagship consoles as the keystone; if Xbox has a keystone, it's probably Game Pass. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft recently unveiled its '澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:This is an Xbox' campaign, showing off all the൲ devices you can play its games on thanks to cloud gaming, to sum up and reinforce years spent transitioning away from a console-first app☂roach.

PlayStation is behind Xbox when it comes to cloud gaming, but since it beats Xbox in console sales and likely will keep doing so going into the next generation, even if Nintendo may come out on top anyway, it doesn't strictly need to invest as mu🦩ch into this technology. Still, it'd be good to see game෴s become more accessible. 

I've been a PlayStation owner all my life, and I doubt that ﷽wi🎶ll ever change due to the physical and digital games collection I've amassed, but I still like to see more options for people who don't want to shell out hundreds of dollars for the consoles. For now, it seems unlikely Sony will fully take the Microsoft route and try to turn everything into a PlayStation, though the likes of iOS and Android devices already support game streaming.
