imo if playstation had invested in original, exclusive IP earlier correctly in its existence, it could've had this by now. it seems to be well on the way now, but this thinking really only started toward the end of the PS3 life cycle.

i guess the reason i don't hear him talking about content access is that... quite simply, PlayStation isn't centering anything else but the existing console model. PC still isn't a pillar of their strategy yet. maybe it'll grow, but they won't commit https://t.co/3Yqh1tI9GC

Jim Ryan is being consistent here from my own chats with him. He wants PlayStation IP to be at Pokemon (or honestly even Squid Game) levels of popularity and acceptance.I think this is probably a better way to interpret what he was saying.
Pokemon is huge all around. Several anime, toys, and card games.
The TV initiative could be a way of going about that.
But still, Pokemon is loved by all ages.
