When it comes to fall games, the PlayStation 4’s lineup is looking quite barren compared to its competitor, the Xbox One. However, President of Sony Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, thinks otherwise.
In an interview with Eurogamer, Shuhei touted third-party titles and triple A games that have already came out. Claiming there are still new games to play on the console this up-coming Christmas.
“People wouldn’t just look at the first party line-up when they’re making a purchase decision,” he told Eurogamer. “We have great third party titles coming this year–Call of Duty, Assassin’s, Battlefront, Destiny just came out and Metal Gear just came out. There’s no shortage of huge titles available to players on PlayStation 4. And people who are coming new to PlayStation 4 can pick up titles like Bloodborne and Until Dawn.”
Shuhei went on to promote “smaller” games that can be purchased and played this fall.
“We’re not releasing new triple-A titles this Christmas like you say, and like some critics say. But we’re releasing smaller, creative games this year, like Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, or we’re working on The Tomorrow Children, and many small but interesting titles.”
So, while the Xbox One will have triple A exclusives such as Halo 5: Guardians and Fables Legends, the PlayStation 4 will wait its turn. Owning a console is a commitment, and according to Yoshida, unique titles will be on the platform in the near future; starting with Uncharted: A Thief’s End in Spring of 2016.
Yoshida also commented on the PlayStation Vita, DriveClub, VR, and more in the full interview.
