PlayStation boss Jim Ryan has ruled out day one PlayStation Plus launches.<\/p>\n

The CEO has insisted Sony has no plans to change the “good virtuous cycle” it has with major studios, as he doesn’t believe putting PlayStation Studios games on the service would be successful.<\/p>\n

Speaking to GamesIndustry.Biz, Ryan explained: \u201cWe feel like we are in a good virtuous cycle with the studios, where investment delivers success, which enables yet more investment, which delivers yet more success. We like that cycle and we think our gamers like that cycle.<\/p>\n

“Putting our own games into this service, or any of our services, upon their release\u2026as you well know, this is not a road that we\u2019ve gone down in the past. And it\u2019s not a road that we\u2019re going to go down with this new service.<\/p>\n

“We feel if we were to do that with the games that we make at PlayStation Studios, that virtuous cycle will be broken.<\/p>\n

“The level of investment that we need to make in our studios would not be possible, and we think the knock-on effect on the quality of the games that we make would not be something gamers want\u2026<\/p>\n

“All I\u2019m talking to today is the approach we\u2019re taking in the short term. The way our publishing model works right now, it doesn\u2019t make any sense. But things can change very quickly in this industry, as we all know.<\/p>\n
