4Gamer:
From the player's point of view, I think it's probably because the hardware manufacturer sells its own hardware during the contract period.
Yoshida:
Of course, I think there is such a sentiment on the part of hardware manufacturers.
However, from our point of view, concluding such a contract with a hardware manufacturer is due to the fact that we receive technical support. This time, we are developing together with a group of SIE engineers who know the basics of hardware, and we have received generous support for optimization that we cannot easily do on our own. In addition, by not developing on the premise of multi-platform, man-hours can be invested in creation and optimization. In addition, we can work together on promotions such as "How much would this be if converted into money?" on a global basis. Technology and promotional support is something you want to receive if you can.
