Earlier, the head of PlayStation referred to Microsoft’s moves, saying that instead of buying more studios, the Japanese’s top plan is to focus on developing internal teams. The topic was brought up again in a recent interview with Axios where Ryan mentioned supporting teams – this is more important than “throwing money at them”:

The PlayStation representative’s words can be reconnected with the movements of Microsoft, which has been investing heavily in studies in recent years Playground games and Ninja Theory are the best examples of this. After the acquisitions, the studios expanded to include new specialists, thanks to which they can now work on at least two big games at the same time.

Ryan emphasized that first-party teams should use Sony equipment in a creative way, resulting in the creation of unique titles. The Sucker Punch team, which created Ghost of Tsushima, has been cited as the best example of this strategy.
