Sony Interactive Entertainment big cheese Jim Ryan said earlier today in a corporate briefing that the format holder plans on investing heavily in new IPs going forward, with the current fiscal seeing them invest 34% in new IPs and 66% in existing franchises.
However, Ryan said that by FY25 Sony expect this split to be 50/50 as the company continues its push into investing in fresh ideas.
New IP is the lifeblood of all entertainment and SIE is significantly increasing the amount that it is spending in this space. From less than a quarter of the total spend in FY 2019, we will augment the proportion invested to 50% of a much larger number by FY25, investment that we anticipate will yield significant returns in the second half of this decade.
