NEWS: Sony Discuss PS2 and PS4 Sales

Hiroshi Kawano has spoke in-depth regarding the PS4 and its ability to match PS2 sales.


Speaking with the Japanese gaming website Inside-Games, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Asia and Japan Hiroshi Kawano explains how the PS4 will continue to sell more units and hopefully even bypass or meet the same sale numbers of the PS2.

Dualshockers translated the interview, which shows Kawano speaking of the disappointing PS3 sales, saying "unfortunately the sales of the PS3 didn't even get near the sales of the PS2. It may be difficult for a home console now, but I think we shouldn't say it's impossible unconditionally."

He goes on to discuss how he believes "it's possible to expand the popularity of the PS4 by providing a rich gaming experience and making use of the fusion of network service and high performance that is possible only on home consoles."

When discussing matching sales of the PS2, Kawano said "we'll have to do our best in the future." - currently, the PS2 has sold the most units with a staggering 155 million and counting since it's initial release in 2000.
