PlayStation Is PlayStation really lacking original IP?

[cm2]

Read this:

“Whether it’s for games, films or anime, we don’t have that much IP that we fostered from the beginning,” Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki told Financial Times. “We’re lacking the early phase (of IP) and that’s an issue for us.”

Totoki added that Sony, as a whole, has been better at finding new audiences for existing popular IPs, and thinks that the company won’t grow without creating content from scratch for higher returns.

Lol PS got so many great IPs but they chose to not to make new games with them lol the guy's comment is rather stupid:


Syphon Filter
Socom
Legend of Dragoon
Legend of Legaia
Arc The Lad
Resistance
Infamous
Killzone
Jak and Daxter
Sly Cooper
Twisted Metal
Legacy of Kain
Motorstorm
Dark Cloud
Wipeout

I think if you read between the lines, they want something that prints money like Nintendo has.

Well they could do so by making new games with old Ips with new gameplay stuff that's possible with the current gaming tech. Much less risks rather than what they are doing now, making totally new game IPs, like the recently bombed super hard, Concord. Even Zelda before BOTW was never BOTW's sales level, but Nintendo managed to turn it into a major cash cow with BOTW, with an old IP.

So is Sony in charge of making sure these games are made by paying out or are they just suggestions? I think he may have referred to 1st party.

I'm sure that failure is going to hurt Sony for awhile.
