"What the company needs to do is do what it's never done," Shawn Layden says
AI summary — the full article is at the publisher
Former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden argues that the upcoming PS6 does not require increased technical power to succeed, focusing instead on affordability. Speaking on The Trophy Room podcast, he reflects on how previous hardware transitions, such as the shift from the PS1 to the PS2 or from compact disc to DVD, delivered substantial leaps. He notes that the PS4 successfully integrated full networking capabilities while debuting at a price point of $399.
Although current rumors suggest the PS6 will feature enhanced ray tracing and higher teraflops, Layden dismisses these metrics as negligible improvements for average players. He suggests that the true innovation for the next console should be maintaining a lower price tag comparable to a $300 machine rather than engineering an expensive device.

Speaking on the Trophy Room: A PlayStation Show podcast, the industry veteran reflected on his past experience launching the PSP and PS Vita. He explained that supporting both hardware formats concurrently requires splitting internal resources as if managing two separate companies.
Furthermore, while these products might seem complimentary, their respective marketing messages can easily conflict with one another. Layden noted that the home console naturally commands a larger audience and generates more revenue, thereby dominating corporate priorities. Ultimately, he suggested that focusing strictly on a portable device could give the company a strong chance of winning in that specific market segment.

Evolving Ursaring into Ursaluna in Pokémon Go requires players to perform the transformation during specific real-world full moon evenings. Niantic implements this restriction so that the grizzly evolution only becomes accessible once a month when a lunar event occurs naturally. Missing this scheduled window means waiting roughly another month for the next full moon cycle to complete the evolution process.
This mechanic demands careful planning from trainers aiming to add Ursaluna to their roster within the mobile application. The gameplay directly ties real-life astronomical occurrences to the progression milestones of specific pocket monsters. Managing these monthly lunar deadlines remains an essential consideration for optimal progression.

Former PlayStation executive Shawn Layden indicated that a Bloodborne sequel remains unlikely due to the complicated network of rights associated with the intellectual property. Speaking on the Trophy Room podcast, Layden explained that three distinct entities collaborated on the original project, involving FromSoftware, Sony, and Bandai Namco. This shared ownership structure creates substantial administrative hurdles when attempting to organize future development efforts or current-generation remasters.
He emphasized that any follow-up would need to faithfully recreate the unique phenomenon of the original game while honoring its established quality standards. Fans have continuously requested a continuation or modern upgrade for years despite these underlying corporate complications. The intricate legal framework surrounding the IP continues to serve as the primary barrier against further installments.
