wow...longest thread title ever?
OT: I really don't see a problem for Sony's next gen console, the games you mention are definite system sellers, Sony doesn't need some blockbuster title that's going to sell hundreds of thousands of consoles, all they need to do is do what they've been doing since about 2009; release their first paty titles on a montlhy/quartely basis with some affordable pricing to atleast keep their sales consistent.
true. the 3rd party support isn't what it used to be back in the PS1/PS2 era but even now Sony is still getting more party support when it comes to multiplats; EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar are ones I can only think of now, if Sony can somehow improve on these relationships we could see more exclusive content come their way, hell maybe even some exclusive titles.
I think another think it's worth mentioning is that Sony has a strong brand-name/loyalty in both Japan and EU, I think for their next console Sony's needs to get America back like the way the had them during the PS1/PS2 era
