PlayStation CEOs have commented on the PlayStation 5 Pros development time, and the period spent refining the enhanced console is longer than people think. Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida recently hired PlayStation veterans Hermen Hulst and Hideaki Nishino to helm Sony Interactive Entertainment, since the pair have worked together for a long time, and they will tackle the PlayStation 5 Pro launch together. Nishino previously became head of product at SIE in 2016, advancing to lead the Platform Experience Group in 2024, and Hulst was the former boss at Guerilla Games, the team behind the Horizon series.
