Sony CEO Praises Pokemon GO, Says Company Will Aggressively Enter Mobile Gaming


Sony CEO Kaz Hirai has recently talked about the company’s mobile plans in an interview with the Financial Times. Hirai announced that Sony will be “aggressively” entering the mobile business as well. He said that “it’s quite a shift from being just a console based business to being on mobile phones as well”. Kaz Hirai also gave Pokemon GO credit for how the app works. Hirai said that “Pokemon Go is a real game-changer. I’m very interested in the fact that it has the potential to really change the way people move, literally”. He also complimented the augmented reality that makes Pokemon look like they’re in the real world, calling it a “great innovative idea that’s going to lift all boats for the video game industry”. It apparently inspired Hirai, because he says he wants AR components to be in Sony’s games. Thoughts ?
