PushSquare: Maligned Playstation Chief Jim Ryan Is Silencing His Critics
- Thread starter Sillegamer
- Start date
Hell yes, backwards compatibility. A move in the right direction.
I'm still not sold on the PS5 vs. whatever MS' next-gen console will be; especially in light of MS' continuing consumer-friendly approach, but this is a nice step.

The dude has said some stupid crap before but that by no means is an indication that his vision for PS is bad and it's certainly not an indication that PS5 will suffer under him. I believe this business is less about the personalities behind it than people think.
This just reminds me how Shawn Layden left so abruptly. No goodbyes nothing. Shit must've hit the fan!
Yeah, this feels exceedingly premature. With a headline like that I thought it was going to be something more along the lines of Ryan firing people who don't share his vision but this feels more like a puff piece for someone who hasn't actually achieved anything yet.
You don't need to wait until PS5 to see what he doing so far is good.
Cross play has open more under him , there BC , he bought IG , bought down the price of PS Now .
Yes PS5 is a big part of the picture but a lot of stuff people were asking for \complaining about he has done stuff about it.
So far he look like he will do a good job and be ready to make changes when need to help with Sony next gen .
There is one line from an article from jim ryan last month (psnow article i think), about how he will use his power to combat complacency in the company, and so far it shows, jim ryan is already making some major moves for the company in globalization efforts and improved communications in the last few months, while improving PSNow and dropping PSVue that was losing them money.
I think he knows what he sets out to do, just need to see if he can pull his new vision for the company off.

It will be virtually impossible to fuck up, all he has to do is have hardware that is competitive in price, power and features.
Sony already has the devs, so they can just leave them to keep on delivering great games.
This reads like some fanboy bs, what has Jim Ryan even done to warrant a rating one way or another? All we have right now is him improving psnow, and firing people before the ps4 launch.
Edit: nvm it is some fanboy bs itd push square

i love how sony themselves talk about Sony getting complacent but if you mention that here you get people jumping over each other to quote and mock you.
Complacency is a thing and every generation leader from Sony (PS3), Microsoft (X1) and Nintendo (Wii U) has gotten complacent and fucked up. good to see Jim is aware of this even if era doesnt want to admit its a problem.
Cross play happened because they could no long hold against dev complaints
not really a stunning endorsement
They could have waited until the start of the next gen .
It's not like the lack of cross play has hurt them sales wise and devs would have still put there games on there system.
Point is since he has become the head of PS there moving in a good direction IMO.
I came in expecting that but it went in a different direction. xD
He seems to be alright. We got Cerny on the PS5 too so that will probably end up awesome. If not, life goes on I guess.
Yeah I immediately thought he was going all Grand Moff Tarkin on his critics lol
Gonna agree here. IMO it makes more sense to wait a while and see how things shape out - at least after the console has launched. It makes sense for PS5 to be BC if they want the userbase to move over, and would presumably be a lot easier than making PS4 BC with PS3, but even that doesn't necessarily mean it will work so well or be such a success in the end. After all the PS3 BC wound up not being a thing later on, and the PS2 on PS4 initiative doesn't seem to have been expanded as much as was hoped for.
I saw the comment, and pretty much thought the same thing, lol.
I can't imagine waking up and writing so much fluff based on nothing. Ryan is not "maligned" and he's not "silencing his critics."
"Chorus of criticism"
haha, what chorus?
"Chorus of criticism"
haha, what chorus?
User Banned (1 Day) Inappropriate joke
Title made me think he was inviting critics to HQ to disappear them Khashoggi-style.
The age you'd have to be to post something like this unironically and the age you have to be to register here are causing a space/time paradox.
I pretty much agree the Playstation brand is probably the strongest brand in the world, but we might be looking at a recession as consoles launch. If they are 499+ in a recession if he made the call to go with that price point and it struggles it could be a black mark on him. How pushes Sony into the cloud space is going to be a big one in the next five years.
I don't know that PlayStation is the strongest brand in the world, I think that honor goes to McDonald's or some shit, but it's certainly the strongest home video game console brand.
That's what I thought too! Then I read the article and it contains no new information about anything and I'm left unsatisfied.
See, I told you Jim Ryan would come. Just like I said! He's gonna bring us food, and water, and smite our enemies!
