During a June meeting with investors, the company's management stated that the next console will not simply be an alternative to gaming computers.
Sony representatives were asked how the company plans to win back players who have switched to PCs and what changes await the next generation of PlayStation.
PlayStation has long been strongly associated with living room gaming. But in recent years, more and more users around the world are using personal monitors. In response, we are releasing devices such as monitors and sound systems to move away from the idea that "PlayStation is only for the living room" and expand usage scenarios.
Sony emphasized that the next platform should offer something more than just competition with PCs.
For the next-generation platform, we aim to offer unique PlayStation value, rather than simply being an alternative to PCs. This is not just about technological improvements, but also about expanding usage scenarios to provide a convenient gaming experience beyond the living room.
