Speaking during Sony’s latest financial call, as transcribed by Seeking Alpha, Sony Executive Deputy President Hiroki Totoki commented on first-party titles launching on subscription services, saying that this would cause them to reduce the investment needed for these games, and thus lower their quality. This statement from Sony Executive Deputy President Hiroki Totoki falls in line with what PlayStation head Jim Ryan said back in March. And AAA type titles for games PlayStation 5. If we distribute that on the subscription services and the, we may need to shrink the investment needed for that, and that will deteriorate the first party title quality and that’s our concern. So we want to make sure that the, we spend a profit development cost to have a solid products with solid titles to be introduced in the right manner. At this point, it seems like Sony will not change its strategy regarding PlayStation 5 AAA titles in the foreseeable future. As Jim Ryan said, however, things may change in the future, so there eventually will be a time when Sony will embrace the subscription model that is doing so great for Microsoft.
