Sony Playstation was formed on third party games, unlike any other console. That's why their fans are so possessive. They lost some of their bigger games of previous gens.
"Losing" Final Fantasy and Metal Gear is like Nintendo losing Zelda or Metroid. So I kinda understand. But they have only Sony to blame.

Oh, is that why SONY now arguably has the best and most diverse 1st/2nd party lineup this generation? Maybe we can blame SONY for working so hard since 3rd party exclusivity isn't guaranteed.

This gen, Sony finally learned that the defining games for Playstation aren't guaranteed so they have to make thier own. And this gen, they did an OK job. After 3 generations, they finally have decent first party. I'm not overly impressed, but congratulations to them I guess.

At the very least, SONY had pumped so much money in their new and older IP's. Those funds could have easily locked up "traditional playstation" franchises such as Ace Combat, Tekken, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy, etc... And many of SONY IP's do not have a mass appeal which really leads me to believe that it's just not about the almighty dollar, but it's catering to gamers. But if you have kept up with SONY's 1st/2nd party efforts, you'll know that there are still several successful SONY franchises from past gens that hey haven't released, yet. Like their games or not, SONY is building. It shows since they are progessively the best 3rd place console maker of any gen and getting getter.

BWAAAA HA HAAAAA HA HA!!!
Oh, thank you for that.

Games such as MAG, Siren, Folklore, Heavy Rain, White Knight Chronicles, and even Ratchet & Clank were not intended for mass appeal. These games targeted specific audiences, thus limiting their mass appeal.
