Sony Interactive Entertainment boss Jim Ryan during a keynote fireside chat during GI Live: London was asked what he thought made the PlayStation 5 cool.
"It is, first of all, the games," said Ryan. "You have to come back to that. I said this at the time, and I stand by it, the launch line-up of game was the best we'd ever had, and I'd submit probably the best any console platform has ever had at launch.
"I think the work that we've done since then with Returnal and Ratchet & Clank [Rift Apart], and also MLB: The Show in the States, which is a fine game. And the pipeline of game that we have coming is just fantastic. It's by far the strongest that we've ever had for any of our consoles, and I can't wait to see these games starting drop one after another. Horizon [Forbidden West], God of War [Ragnarok], [Gran Turismo 7]... I think that is ultimately what defines us."
Ryan was asked what his favorite recent game was and he said Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. It is a game that showcases the power of the PS5.
"Ratchet & Clank," he said. "I love the game. And I think as something that defines what PlayStation 5 is capable of doing, it is the first great example. And there's going to be many more to come over the coming months and years.
"But you look at that and say 'wow, you couldn't do that on any other console'. It's a beautiful game and so great to have Insomniac now part of our family. Those guys have been knocking it out of the park, they've been busy."
Thanks, GamesIndustry.

How many articles are you going to make from one interview?
Until Sony buys VGC lol
That is the way of the VGC. If an interview covers 10 topics expect at least 10 articles, plus crossover articles.
Heck, there's an article every time Phil Spencer farts.
For sure it is the best lineup for a PS, being for any system ever that will depend on taste.
Pretty much the only reason I got a PS5. I prefer almost everything about the xbox series x but games are really all that matter to me.
I am also an xbox/PC guy, mostly because I just love the elite 2 controller and also I prefer the design of xbox and how quiet it is and the backwards compatibility.
With that said, I'm happy I got a ps5 first, games like Returnal, demon souls, ratchet and Ghost of tsushima are essential. And because I have a PC and switch I can still play Ori etc in those platforms.
Last generation was an easy choice, xbox had forza motorsport 7, ps4 had an online GT, I don't play online so Xbox it was.
Later when I got a ps4 pro, I rediscovered great games such as spiderman, last of us 2, god of war, infamous second son, shadow of the colossus, the last guardian, Uncharted 4, horizon zero dawn etc
If you have a good Pc then go for ps5, if not, then the choice is good either way.
That's another reason. I have an amazing gaming PC. I haven't even touched a PS5 game yet my backlog is massive right now. Not to mention the occasional detour for a new game that comes out. I just have an amazing gaming year ahead of me looks like.
This is gonna be a great generation in terms of first-party output from the big 3!
Well, yes, what else? Not it’s look that’s for sure. ;-)
at least he got something right haha
