Sony SVP Hideaki Nishino Q&A on PlayStation System Software Updates
Today Sony Senior Vice President Hideaki Nishino of Platform Experience shared a Q&A session on developing PlayStation System Software Updates offering some behind-the-scenes insight after the PS5 Firmware v4.00 Update that added support for Compatible PS5 M.2 SSDs earlier this month. 
Check out the Q&A below courtesy of Sid Shuman via PS Blog, to quote:
I sat down with Hideaki Nishino, SVP of Platform Experience, to get the scoop behind some of the new features, including 3D audio for built-in TV speakers and M.2 SSD storage expansion on PS5.
We also discussed mobile app updates like Share Screen on PS App, which started rolling out yesterday on iOS and Android.
PlayStation.Blog: Can you give us a little sense of what you do as SVP of Platform Experience?
Nishino-san: Here at SIE, I work for hardware, system software, and network platform products and services. I don’t contribute to the games or studio teams, but everything other than the games side of things.
PlayStation.Blog: Congrats on the launch of the September system update on PS5. Are there a couple features you found particularly important?
Nishino-san: We launched many features with the September Update, but one I’m personally enjoying is the trophy tracker. Of course, I want to get more trophies and show them off. The trophy tracker allows me to easily pin the trophies I’m tracking down.
PlayStation.Blog: A lot of people have been asking, when are we going to get an update on 3D audio coming through the TV speakers (in addition to headsets).
Nishino-san: Yeah, absolutely. 3D audio has been a key part of our vision for PS5: delivering a really immersive experience not just through visuals but audio as well. When I turn on 3D audio for TV speakers, it sounds different. It’s difficult to describe, but I hope everybody will try it and experience it.
It feels like the sound is coming from around my ears and from the front as well. So, it’s definitely giving you a different experience...
