Creator of PlayStation 'can’t see the point' in the metaverse

Creator of PlayStation ‘can’t see the point’ in the metaverse

[ad_1]

Ken Kutaragi was the driving force behind Sony’s entry into videogames, and led the teams that created the original PlayStation, as well as the PS2, PS3, and PSP. He left the PlayStation business in 2007, though stuck around in honorary roles at Sony for a few more years, and now runs a robotics outfit called Ascent.

Kutaragi spoke to Bloomberg news about his goals with Ascent, which is blending real-life and and the virtual world in a gadget-free way (the example cited is something akin to Star Wars holograms). Needless to say this focus seems to align with one of the tech industry’s favourite buzzwords of the moment: But Kutaragi is no fan of the metaverse.
