Sony believes the PS5’s power will keep it competitive with the Switch 2

Regarding the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, it’s intriguing to ponder its potential influence on the broader gaming community and their focus. Interestingly, Sony seems unfazed about losing customers to Nintendo, as suggested by Hideaki Nishino, Sony’s President and CEO. In a recent business discussion, when questioned about investor concerns that the Nintendo Switch 2 might take market share from PlayStation, he confidently stated that he believes the PlayStation 5 will continue to offer the superior at-home gaming experience on large screen TVs.

During Sony’s 2025 business presentation and fireside chat over the weekend, President Nishino expressed his thoughts on the potential Nintendo Switch 2. He explained during this occasion why he doesn’t view the Switch 2 as a competitive threat to PlayStation’s operations.

A point made by Nishino suggests that Sony may be experiencing a sense of urgency due to their shift from making games exclusively for their platform, towards developing games for multiple platforms.

It’s important to acknowledge that the anticipated release of Nintendo Switch 2 is significantly motivating game developers to create multiplatform titles. This console, in its first weekend, managed to sell more than 3.5 million units, placing it among the fastest-selling consoles ever made. Moreover, games like Street Fighter 6 being ported over and proving to be equally competitive with their PS5 and PC versions indicates that the Switch 2 has opened up a substantial opportunity for numerous games to tap into new player bases.

It’s uncertain if the power of PlayStation 5 can withstand the impact of Switch 2’s success in the future, but as of now, Sony appears unfazed by the current state of events. Keep an eye on PlayStation-related news for further developments.
