Sony Computer Entertainment Japan confirmed a bunch of new Playstation 4 games during their pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference earlier this week.

However, there seems to be a lot more games coming to Playstation, that is if SCE Japan Asian senior VP Hiroshi Ueda has anything to say about it:


“I’m glad that out of the sheer number of games we revealed, a good number of them wildly varied.” Ueda said in an interview with Dengeki Playstation. “If we only count the retail games and not the download versions, by March of next year I believe we’ll have roughly 170 titles announced to date.”

Ueda touched upon the oncoming sentiment between Japanese game makers, saying that “Japanese developers are seeing the potential the PS4 has been accumulating, and they’re seeing greater opportunities on the platform.”

He pointed out his biggest surprise, which turned out to be a franchise returning to Playstation:

“When I first learned about Dragon Quest: Heroes, I was both stunned and overjoyed. The game has the potential to attain the highest system attach rate in the series. The sheer pressure and responsibility I’m feeling in regards to its potential success is hard to describe.”

Ueda moved onto speak on the key goals for Sony and the games on Playstation 4, stating that its their mission to “ensure the upcoming games we have lined up in the future attract their respective fans.” When asked about the console’s set of features, he replied “It’s challenging to reply to everyone’s requests, but we’ll keep an eye out for consumer feedback, as we improve the feature set.”

Lastly, for those Playstation Vita owners who are feeling neglected:

“The sheer amount of users regularly using their Playstation Vita is very high.” he said. “This has made developers and creators reiterate to us that games they make can be sold on the handheld. We’ll be seeing more smartphone titles be ported to the Playstation Vita.”

So that’s a lot of games! Do you guys own any of the current Playstation platforms, and if so here’s the ultimate question – which is your preferred one?
