- The former PlayStation Shawn Layden boss does not think that Sony “can get away with” a PS6 without disc
- Layden thinks that Xbox was more successful following the entirely digital strategy
- He explains that the manufacture of a disk without a disc could damage the market which is based on an internet connection
PlayStation 6 is probably in the years, and according to Shawn Layden, players should not expect a disc console.
Addressing Kiwi Talkz in a recent interview, when he was asked if Sony could make the PlayStation Next Generation All-Digital console, like the PS5 pro recently published, Layden said he did not think it could be Made due to the many players who need to rely on an internet connection.
“I don’t think Sony can get away from it now,” said Layden. “I think that Xbox was more successful in pursuing this strategy, but Xbox is really the most effective in their business in a country pocket: the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa. By coincidence, quite speaking country.
“Sony, which is the number one platform in probably 170 countries of the world, has an obligation or a responsibility to say:” If we go without a nightclub, what part of my market is not able to take this jump? ” Can users in rural regions of Italy get a decent connection to enjoy the games? ‘”
Layden continued, speaking more of how there is an important market for PlayStation consoles with athletes who like to take their equipment on the move during their trip, as well as in military bases around the world where there is no Internet connection.
The ex-CEO explained that becoming digital could affect these players and that there is potential damage to the market if it were to happen.
“What part of your market will be damaged when going to the market without disc?” Said Layden. “I’m sure they are doing their research on this subject. And there will be a tilting point, where there is a percentage where you can say:” Okay, that’s good, we can turn our backs on This part of the market. “But the Sony market is worldwide so huge, I think it would be difficult for them to become completely records, even with the next generation.”
