Former PlayStation Bosses Know Why Sony is Failing!

Shuhei Yoshida, the former PlayStation President, offered some solutions to the company spiraling out of control since his departure. The 31 year veteran claimed focusing in too heavily on live service games is something he would have pushed back against, and simply focusing on what made PlayStation great to begin with is the answer. Seems simple enough.

Former PlayStation of America Boss Shawn Layden had a broader critique for the industry and in his mind, focusing on shorter games to control budgets is the answer.

Something has to give, otherwise there won't be an industry to critique in but a few years.
