De bedenker van Super Smash Bros. en game personage Kirby prijst de PlayStation 4 in een column voor Famitsu. Volgens Masahiro Sakurai ziet de PlayStation 4 er prachtig uit, voelt de controller goed aan en zijn de online-functionaliteiten “well done”. Daarnaast is de kracht van de console een ander aantrekkelijke factor.

_“PlayStation 4 is good-looking, the DualShock 4 is light and using it feels good, Remote Play can reliably handle even action games, and the network functionality is well done. The machine power is another attractive factor, there is no loss of detail in the image, and it looks so natural and spontaneous that you often forget that you’re playing a game. I_f creators can make stylish games without putting in a ton of time on that. I hope that a masterpiece will come with bells tolling. This is definitely not a period that will leave us without the possibility of playing rich games.”

Masahiro Sakurai werkt momenteel aan Smash Bros. 4 welke voor de Nintendo Wii U en 3DS zal verschijnen.
