Ken Kutaragi believes that the new trend is not very different from what we already have now with digital messages.
For a few months, there is a term that has resonated in much of the Internet. We talk about metaverse, a virtual experience that would expand the real world through initiatives such as those proposed by companies such as Meta (formerly known as Facebook), Xbox or Square Enix. However, as futuristic as this may sound, not everyone is on board this train, and the father of playstation It has been positioned as one of the detractors of the metaverse.
Not unlike places with anonymous message boardsKen KutaragiKen Kutaragi, one of the most responsible for the existence of Sony consoles, has made some statements collected by BNN Bloomberg that completely distance themselves from everything related to the popular proposal of the moment: “Being in the real world is very important, but the metaverse tries to make the virtual world almost-real, and I can’t see the reasons why“.
But Kutaragi’s opinion does not end here, since he also compares the characteristics of the metaverse with those we already live day by day as users on the Internet: “Do you prefer to be a polished avatar what your real version? Essentially, that’s not that different from places with anonymous message boards.” A few words that could go on for more than one debate about the advantages and disadvantages of the metaverse.
After all, this trend has been in the sights of many companies. Taking the purchase of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft announced a few days ago, Bobby Kotick mentioned the metaverse construction as one of the reasons that pushed the sale of your company. We will have to see how this technology develops in the future, but we can be sure that it will give many talks.
