Sony CEO asserts the PlayStation 4 as primarily a gaming console, but adds that more non-game functionality will be revealed in time.
Following Microsoft’s plan to position its upcoming Xbox One as a living room entertainment device, Sony Corporation president and CEO Kazuo “Kaz” Hirai has stressed that the PlayStation 4 is a video game console first. The news came as Hirai spoke at the D11 conference held this week in the US, according to The Verge.
“The most important thing we need to do is agree and understand that the PS4 is a great video game console that appeals to video gamers. If we miss that part, I don’t think we get the initial establishment of the console. That formula has worked for us with all our consoles, including the PS3.”
In addition, Hirai said that Sony would reveal more PS4 functions not related to video games. “Providing other non-game content is an area we will reveal and talk about in the coming months, but it’s first and foremost a video game console.”
Sony Computer Entertainment’s E3 press conference will be held on June 10, just before E3 2013 starts.
