It's my first PlayStation interview since setting up The Game Business! I caught up with Team Asobi to discuss the role of the game console, making games faster (and with a smaller team), plus the joy of building games for an audience that isn't themselves

“There are some leaps [with PS5], but they’re maybe less obvious than when we went to HD graphics. That’s something that you can just stare at the screen for a few seconds and understand” thegamebusiness.com/p/the-ps5-gene…

I am very excited to sit anywhere near these legends, let alone get a chance to ask them questions.

"With consoles, you know that what you see in your office making the game, is definitely what people will see in their home playing the game. That allows us to focus, because you’re not putting in time dealing with compatibility or permutations" thegamebusiness.com/p/the-ps5-gene…

In today's show, I chatted to GDC about its new changes. Plus, Circana join the Show to chat through the latest US market stats

Ghost of Yotei's US launch was basically the same as the Ghost of Tsushima launch, says Circana. thegamebusiness.com/p/skipping-gdc…

Low profit margins are acceptable when things are growing. When things aren’t, the focus pivots to profitability. 30% profit margin is not unheard of. In fact, a company I worked for laid off staff because of a need to hit a similar figure

“We are doing all the things we can to make sure people are comfortable with San Francisco.” thegamebusiness.com/p/skipping-gdc…

“Developers get the vibe. If you’re not at GDC, or appear not to be there, are they sure that you care about them? That’s what I don’t understand.” thegamebusiness.com/p/skipping-gdc…

“Call of Duty is really going to tell the tale. If Call of Duty misses, or if Battlefield did eat some of Call of Duty’s lunch, then we don’t get to growth.” thegamebusiness.com/p/skipping-gdc…
