Shuhei Yoshida on ollut mukana Playstationin toiminnassa alusta alkaen, ja hän on vuosien varrella kohonnut yhdeksi pelialan isoista nimistä. The Guardianille puhuessaan Yoshida kertoi, että suurin osa peleistä ei koskaan valmistu. Uudet ideat toivotetaan tervetulleiksi tietoisina siitä, että suurin osa epäonnistuu.
"PlayStation embraces new ideas, and many of them fail."
"We do a prototype, we evaluate, we decide whether to spend more time and resources, or we just stop. We cancel so many games. I usually try to convince the developer that I'm trying to save them from getting stuck with this project. We tend to work with people who have very strong ideas, we love these people, so trying to change or stop their project is so hard. It's all about talent in this industry. I have tried to help them as much as I could."
