This is where Sony was at their strongest IMO. The 2009 to 2010 period. They gave their exclusives a fairly good window selling before the next big game released. Killzone 2 had basically the entire first half of 2009 (excluding inFamous because it get off to a slow start). Uncharted 2 had holiday 2009 and the first quarter of 2010. God of War basically had most of 2010 until GT5 released.

But they messed up in 2011 IMO. They released KZ3 one month after LBP2. Then they relased Socom 4 two months after that, then inFamous 2 two months later. They tried to pack too many games in the first half of the year and their fanbases overlapped one way or another. Most of the blame could be placed on Media Molecule & Zipper for not having their games ready on time.

What do you think?
