Shuhei Yoshida, Sony's President of Worldwide Studios recently spoke toEurogamer about the PS4 reaching 10 million consoles sold.
Yoshida said that the number of consoles sold went "well beyond" Sony's original projections. He did mention though that he's weary about the PS4's sales since Sony doesn't understand it's success.
"The 10m sell through in the first nine months is well beyond what we had hoped for. As you know, we have struggled to keep up with demand of PS4 for so many months. It was hard to find and purchase PS4. Now we are able to supply units so in every territory I believe you can find PS4. So we just managed to catch up with demand. It's just beyond our imagination. We are so happy. But I for one am a bit nervous because we do not completely understand what's happening.
Yoshida also addressed changes to the upcoming Sony game "Until Dawn," which was originally slated to released on the PS3. He added that the game's developer saw that the game looked much better on the PlayStation 4 and decided to use the console's hardware to full use.
"When we announced the title two or three years ago on PS3, we were happy about the reception. But it was a time for us to look at all the games in development. Some of the titles, like Until Dawn, looked better to move it to PS4, because it's a horror title," he said. "We realised the game and genre can benefit from moving to higher performance hardware, so the visual impact can be stronger. It's all about who you decide to survive through the event. It's the characters' facial expressions can make it much more impactful. So the developer tried some experimentation on PS4 and the early result was great. So at that time we decided, yeah, the PS4 was taking off and lets move it to PS4."
