The PlayStation 4 is looking like it will be unveiled within the next week, but for those who are interested in content, the next title from thatgamecompany could be a PlayStation 4 hit.

According to a report from GamesIndustry on Monday, thatgamecompany head Jenova Chen talked about what he is looking for from the studio's next title.

"I'm not a money guy, but I want to make our next product a commercial success, so that people will say, 'Hey, there's a huge market out there.

"If you make a high-quality games that can touch people, it's going to do great business. Look at Pixar. Why doesn't a company like that exist in the games industry?

"I want to make that commercial success. Even if it's not me who ends up becoming that Pixar, someone will found it in the future," Chen said.

Chen then talked about how slow Sony is to pay companies, like thatgamecompany, which creates confusion as to how well games are selling.

"I don't know if you've heard anything about Sony's payment schedule.

"It's delayed by three months. I don't get the sales data until the next quarter, either. So I know 'Journey's' sales picked up at Christmas, but I don't know how much it sold.

"Maybe I'll know by February? Honestly, I don't know how much 'Journey' has sold at this point. But I know we broke even on it," Chen said.
