Thank The OG PlayStation For Bringing Us Bloodborne

In a recent conversation on the My Perfect Console podcast with Simon Parkin, Sony’s Masayuki Yoshida explained how the shift from game cartridges to CDs allowed FromSoftware to become a video game developer. Yoshida remembered Sony, then new to the console market, trying to attract developers like Atlus and Namco to the original PlayStation. Cartridges were costly to produce and had limited storage space, while CDs were cheaper, faster to make, and could hold significantly more data. This presented FromSoftware with a chance to enter the gaming industry.
