Former Sony indie boss Shuhei Yoshida suggests Sony needs to move away from focusing solely on cutting-edge graphics and change its way of thinking.
Yoshida-san reflects on the history of pushing top visual quality in PlayStation games, but believes it is necessary to change the approach to appeal to a broader audience.
With rising development costs, Sony may prioritize gameplay and unique ideas over pushing the graphics bar higher.
Yoshida-san mentions that the Japanese games industry suffered after chasing western trends during the PS3 era, and Nier Automata helped revitalize it.
