Shawn Layden believes the PlayStation 4-exclusive Spider-Man game will help achieve the console’s next big goal.
Layden in his interview with The Telegraph said that Insomniac Games’ next project could help push the PlayStation 4, which is currently in the sixties of millions, go over one hundred million sold consoles. The strategy isn’t focusing on taking attention away from the competition (Xbox One, Nintendo Switch), but make more people get interested in gaming who haven’t been involved with consoles. (A prime example of the approach is PlayLink, revealed at E3.)
In Europe, the social-based games are getting the focus, while in the United States, games like Spider-Man can get help Sony achieve the 100 million target.
Will the game be a killer app? We’ll see next year (in the first half, probably).
