Sony says 2016 is a ‘defining year’ for PS4

PlayStation 4 will enjoy a ‘defining year’ in 2016 with the likes of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Horizon: Zero Dawn, though there’s still plenty of new content coming beyond what has already been announced, the head of Sony India has said.

Speaking with GamingBolt, Atindriya Bose painted an incredibly strong picture for PS4 in the next 12 months and beyond:

There will be. There have been so many games that have been showcased other than Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Horizon: Zero Dawn. The games portfolio showcases how the game is and what new things are there in it, as we go forward towards the launch the acceptability of many new IPs also comes in,” he replied.

If you look at the whole E3 line up, you are only taking two out of the so many that have been declared, hopefully for 2016 and onward and then you have the third party titles. This is definitely a defining year for the PS4 because at that point we are perhaps with a base of 100,000-120,000 units in India. So I think yes, it’s a re-defining year, those two are exciting titles but those two are not the only two.”

PS4 has already shipped over 25 million units worldwide since its launch in November 2013, with sales of the console tracking ahead of the legendary PS2 in the U.K.
