Yoshida Apologizes for Game Delays

Sony Worldwide Studios Boss Shuhei Yoshida sat down with Playstation
Lifestyle to apologize for PS4 game delays, and explains why
it’s happening.

“So I apologize for some of the games we pushed back”, but when people
ask me that, “We’ve been saying that the PS4 is very easy to develop
for”. Then the question is, why are the teams taking their time? The
reason is, it’s very easy to develop games on the PS4, except that PS4
can do so much, that a team’s ambition is much higher. What they are
trying to achieve is very challenging, for something new. More realistic
graphics, social connectivity, or seamless integration of single-player
and multi-player. They have been encountering new kinds of challenges,
so they have to take more time than they have anticipated. Luckily, more
people are now more understanding and more accommodating for the needs
of the developers. And (gamers) say they’d rather wait to play the best
game the team can develop rather than play a rushed title, because each
development is such a big effort.
