Sony: 'First Party Line-up Was Not as Strong as We Would Have Liked'

Sony's first party line-up that could have been better, according to the Managing Director of Sony Computer Entertainment Australia, Michael Ephraim, who spoke with GameSpot.

"Games that have been released this year, from Destiny, Call of Duty, Star Wars -- most of them we have a collaboration with for additional content if you play on PlayStation 4, so we’re pretty confident with the way Christmas is going. The demand is strong," said Ephraim.

"We have worked very closely with third parties this year because our first party lineup was not as a strong as we would have liked."

He is more confident about the PlayStation 4's 2016 line-up, however, saying "Next year, our first party lineup looks incredible. You’ve got Street Fighter, Uncharted 4, No Man’s Sky, The Last Guardian, Gran Turismo. These are all exclusives, and two of them are new franchises."

Ephraim also noted that the PlayStation 4 is still set to be the company's main focus over the next 12 months, despite the upcoming launch of PlayStation VR.

"In 12 months time, PlayStation 4 is still the primary business because it’s the foundational device. PlayStation 4 will still be our primary objective to grow the install base. PlayStation VR is new, everyone wants it, there are a lot of publishers developing for it. But whether it’s going to just go completely nuts early, or if it’s a slow build, time will tell."

"The PS4 is the fastest selling console ever for PlayStation globally and in Australia, PS4 is the fastest selling console in hardware history."
