“We are aggressively moving into [mobile games].

This is such a transition from a purely console business to mobile,” Hirai said.

Sony wants to add AR functionality to its mobile projects, according to Hirai.

The CEO of the Japanese company believes that Pockemon Go has completely changed the landscape of the mobile industry. Everyone has benefited from the appearance of this game, Hirai is sure.

One of the authors of the Games Industry resource does not agree with the head of Sony. Rob Fahey believes that no other game will repeat the success of Pokémon Go, since the mechanics that the project embodied are suitable only for this particular franchise.

Recall that Sony opened its own mobile division in March 2016. In a press release, it was reported that ForwardWorks studio will develop mobile games based on projects for the PlayStation console.
