Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO, Jim Ryan, has reiterated that reports of the company overlooking Japan in favor of the Western market are false.
In early November, a Bloomberg report claimed that Sony is shifting its focus towards the West and is sidelining the Japanese market because it?s disappointed by the PlayStation 4?s performance in the country. Sony?s spokeswoman Natsumi Atarashi denied the claim at the time, and her statement is now echoed by Ryan, who told EDGE magazine that the Japanese market remains ?incredibly important? to Sony.
