Sony only cares about the money, Microsoft only cares about the players. These are the words of some players after the Japanese company announced the new version PlayStation Plus. People pay attention to the significant difference between Xbox Game Pass and PS Plus, Microsoft is launching new games immediately, but Sony has no plans to.
Jim Ryan, CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, commented on this strategy earlier. Now Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki has joined him.
“I will refrain from commenting on the competition strategy (Microsoft’s Game Pass, editor position). We currently believe that R&D spending should be spent on quality products that will improve the platform and ultimately improve the business.” Totoki said in front of investors.

Totoki explained that at Sony, the focus is on high quality products that are expensive to develop. If they included upcoming titles from studios like Santa Monica Studio (God of War series), Insomniac Games (Spider-Man, Ratchet & Clank) and Naughty Dog (The Last of Us, Uncharted) on PS Plus on release day, they should would establish a development budget, which should direct impact on the quality of games. This is what they don’t want in society.
This goes hand in hand with Jim Ryan’s opinion. He said in the past that at Sony they make bigger, better and better, even more beautiful and story-heavy games that take time and a lot of investment..
We also informed you yesterday that Sony intends invest another $308 million for research to develop their own games.
Sony will launch a new version of PlayStation Plus for Europe, including us, on June 22 this year. The service combines PS Plus and PS Now.
