Sony CEO Kaz Hirai: “Pokemon GO is a real game-changer”

Since its debut in July, Pokemon GO has garnered praise from all corners of the world. One of the latest big shots to applaud its immense success and popularity is the president and CEO of Sony Corporation, Kazuo “Kaz” Hirai, who had some good things to say about Niantic‘s most recent mobile hit. “[Mobile gaming] is something we are aggressively getting into,” Hirai told the Financial Times at the recent IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin, Germany. “It’s quite a shift from being just a console-based business to being on mobile phones as well. Pokémon 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.”

  1. Yup, all you need to do is create one of the most valuable video game properties of all-time – second only to Mario – twenty years ago. Consistently make game after game that people around the world love. Create a hit TV show and film series. Then team up with Google to make a game with AR that actually makes sense.

    That’s all.
