Although this year’s PlayStation Experience was strongly focused on the software, including The Last of Us Part 2, Uncharted 4: Lost Legacy and even remasters of Crash Bandicoot: N-Sane Trilogy, Parappa the Rappa and WipEout, the rest of the year has very much been focused on hardware.
Whether it’s the pair of new consoles, the PS4 Slim and the beefed-up PS4 Pro, or even the ground-breaking PS VR headset, Sony has definitely had a busy year.
So when Digital Spy was granted an exclusive audience with Shuhei Yoshida, the President of Sony’s Worldwide Studios, at PSX, we had to discuss everything hardware.

DS: 2017 will see the launch of another new console, Nintendo’s Switch. What do you think of it, and where do you see it sitting in the console ecosystem?
SY: I think it’s a very unique system. It’s very interesting that they’ve designed the system to work well with more conventional games in terms of inputs and buttons. So I think it’s good for core gamers and their marketing message focused on that.
DS: Do you still see Nintendo as competition in terms of hardware sales, or do they now exist in a completely different market?
SY: I think they’re going to cover a new market for themselves.
