Jim Ryan is confident that Sony has delivered a better lineup of games at the PS5 launch than the PS4. The top manager explained:

Yes, performance during the PS4 cycle was excellent, but the vast majority of these games released in the second half of the cycle. We have made a conscious effort this time to improve it, and what you have seen so far shows that we have certainly made progress. In just a few months since the launch of the PS5, we have released incredible games, and more is in the works. “

Ryan noted that the developers are just starting to take advantage of the PS5 technology. He added:

I can’t wait to see what PlayStation Studios and our third party partners are creating for the PS5. If games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Returnal, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart are examples of what you can get in the first six months of the PS5 launch, imagine what we’ll see in two or three years. “

In the same interview with Axios, Ryan casually commented on the rising costs of their competitors at Microsoft, stating that successful development is a matter of creative freedom, not “throwing money”:

Developing creative talent is more difficult than throwing money at it. You also have to give freedom to creativity, take risks and come up with new ideas. Just look at “Ghost of Tsushima” from Sucker Punch. It wasn’t the kind of game we thought they were going to do, but we’re not too tough or “corporate” with our talents. We want them to use our devices as their creative palette. “
