PlayStation fans in Japan may not have to take longer than Western friends to get PlayStation 5.
As you may recall, Sony made a distinctive decision at the beginning of this generation, postponing the release of PS4 in Japan, which caused players in the region to wait another three months to officially purchase the game console. .
So far, Sony consoles have always been released first in Japan, even if only within a few days, such as the PS3. The decision reflects Sony's view of the strength of the Japanese console business compared to the rest of the world, but it is still a strange move.
Jim Ryan, chief executive of Sony Interactive Entertainment, said it was no easy task.
Ryan told Business Insider in Japan, Ryan told Business Insider in Japan, "I delayed the PlayStation 4 in Japan for three months before I was deeply involved."
He added: "This decision has reasonable grounds, but now I don't think it's a good idea." He hinted that the PS5 may not repeat the same mistake. "This is a decision made after a lot of debate, but there may be other options."
It can be predicted that Ryan cannot confirm which regions will get the PS5 first, or whether the console will release all of them at the same time.
In other PS5 news, Sony announced the official logo of the console at CES earlier this week. Not surprisingly, it's the same as the PS4.
