Sony has been watching all of the outcry over the past couple of weeks now involving the Xbox One, and they have assured us that the PS4 is for the gamers. Sony chief executive Kazuo Hirai said today that the PlayStation 4 will differ from Microsoft’s Xbox One, which is being pitched as an all-in-one entertainment box for your living room. This was made apparently in clear when they went half an hour discussing the Xbox One without showing a single game.
“I fundamentally believe that the initial market that we need to make sure we appeal to with any new platform … is really the gaming audience,” Hirai said. “They will be the supporters of your platform and they will help propel the installed base.”
Kaz did state however that the PS3 will have entertainment apps on the system, "But that’s after we establish the platform as a video game platform. We want to make sure that we are there for the gamers with our PS4 as well. They will go beyond this, but they’ll definitely start with gamer first."
He concluded, “For us, it’s all about the gamers.”
