He also went on to say “We have repeatedly engaged in mergers and acquisitions, including Insomniac Games in the US. We will not rule out that option in the future.”
The focus on PlayStation exclusives is likely due to Sony’s acquisition of a number of development houses such as Bethesda and Zenimax media. Although they have recently closed down Sony Japan Studio, Ryan went on to say that they will still be creating for the Japanese market.

“Supply under the new coronavirus was very complicated, and we had to limit distribution to online. The supply and demand for semiconductors is also tight worldwide. We are asking our suppliers to allow us to increase production, which will flow into the market this year.”
