Speaking on What’s Up PlayStation, Shawn Layden, the former CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment and chairman of Worldwide Studios, has stated his belief that exclusives still play an important role for console manufacturers in the current market.
Exclusivity will always be important, it helps focus and highlight the features of your platform. What can you do here technically that you can’t do someplace else.
