Sony on PS4 vs. Xbox One Battle

Shuhei Yoshida, PlayStation president of Worldwide Studios says "competition is always healthy."

In a recent interview PlayStation president of Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida said that the ongoing battle between PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is good not just for gamers but for the industry.

"Competition is always healthy," Yoshida said in a recent interview. "It's best for the industry and consumers."

Yoshida revealed that on the day Microsoft updated the Xbox One's YouTube app which allows users to share clips directly to the video site, was flooded with messages asking him When are you going to support YouTube [on PS4]?"

He also said that when the two companies compete in a "constructive, healthy manner" it helps make their platforms better in the long run.

"So I don't want Microsoft or Nintendo to be totally unsuccessful. At the same time, I don't want them to be totally successful," Yoshida said. "So I think we can kind of help each other by healthy competition."

So far the PS4 has sold 7 million consoles, while the only official sales number Microsoft has provided for the Xbox One to date is 3 million.
