In a lengthy interview with GamesIndustry International, Sony Worldwide Studios head Shuhei Yoshida had a lot to say about the company’s future, as well as its handheld division with the PS Vita and its spin-off PS Vita TV system, which will release in Japan later this year.
Regarding the PS Vita TV’s release outside of Japan, Yoshida simply stated, “I don’t think we are saying that we have no plans – we have no plans that we can discuss!”
He also talked about the markets revolving around the system’s release. “The market situation is very different between Japan and the Western market in terms of whether it’s a portable market, whether it’s a console market…especially the situation with Vita in Japan right now is quite healthy,” said Yoshida. “Lots of new titles have been announced and we’re launching the new hardware here first.”
Continuing on, Yoshida stated, “What’s exciting about PS Vita TV for the future is, of course, that once the cloud gaming services are started this is a very easy, low-entry product that will let you enjoy libraries of hundreds of games without downloading or any storage.”
