PlayStation 5 has been officially launched worldwide, but it may take some time for truly groundbreaking next-generation experiences to arrive. In recent months, the CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Jim Ryan, said that the Japanese company "believes in generations", but the decision to bring several games released on PlayStation 5 also on PS4, such as Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Horizon forbidden west and maybe God of War Ragnarok, and the claim that support for the now "old" console will continue for at least another three years, has not been fully welcomed by gamers.
Months after the previous declarations, Jim Ryan returned to the subject to the microphones of the Russian media TASS, reiterating not only the idea of wanting protect the PlayStation 4 community, given that at the moment it will be smaller than that of PS5, but also give developers as much time as possible to familiarize themselves with the new hardware. We report his words in detail:
There are approximately 114 million PS4s in the world, the number of those who move [initially to PS5], if you keep that in mind, will be a small number. But for us, the PS4 community will remain incredibly important, certainly for 2020, 2021 and 2022. Because in those three years it will be the largest PlayStation community.
History teaches us that it is in the second or third year of a console's life that developers have really made their move to new consoles. They usually need some time to familiarize themselves [with the hardware]. But probably as early as 2022 we will see some wonderful things, in the same way that 2015 or 2016 was for the previous generation.
According to Ryan's words, that doesn't mean there won't be any noteworthy PlayStation 5 exclusives released in the next three years, given that already at launch, users can enjoy titles of the caliber of Demon's Souls and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, but it would seem that It will take some time to exploit the full potential of Sony's next-gen console.
