Former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida said that the current market is not very friendly to games like Japan Studio, which is one of the reasons why Sony's Japanese studio was closed.

Yoshida Shuhei left Sony on January 15 this year, and has been working at Sony for more than 30 years before. Recently, he talked about his time at the PlayStation podcast on the Sacred Symbols PlayStation podcast.

When asked why the PlayStation Japanese studio was closed, some fans thought that PlayStation was less "Japanese", Yoshida said that the market has changed and Sony can only adjust its direction.

He said: "When I was there, everyone recognized me, but there were two things I didn't do well. One was that I didn't create a popular service game. The other was that the games I made here in Japan were not very popular.Purple.

With the exception of "GT Racing", we have made many good games, but few of them are truly awesome to the 3A level.Nowadays, masterpieces are becoming more and more popular, and niche independent games can still make a living, but the AA-level game market in the middle is basically gone.”

"Most of the games in Japanese studios are AA-level, and the market is not easy to mix. For example, after "Gravity Stun 2", director Keiichiro Uriyama wanted to do some new tricks, but we couldn't approve it. Although his ideas are quite interesting.”

Speaking of Outyama, Yoshida recalled: "I remember his ideas very clearly, but I feel that the company will not buy them. At that time, we were all staring at the 3A masterpiece, but we really couldn't push them. Later, the Japanese studio was closed and he did it alone."Wild Dogs". "

He also mentioned a new game "Ratatan", which is the spiritual sequel to "Patapon". He said that Sony will not do this game now, but it also continues the style of a Japanese studio.
