IMO Sony failed a bit this year, the reality is most of their series either plateued in sales or have dipped at a time when the increasing console userbase is seeing most other series (FIFA, COD, Battlefield etc) get much higher sales. At the start of the year I think I wrote a post where I was saying Sony really needed to make all these sequels really cement themselves as solid 2m+ games (Within short timespans).... but it just hasn't happend.
I'm not saying the games all bombed or anything, just that most publishers wouldn't be happy if they release a game that sells say, 2m, and then see the next one only really sell 2m. Maybe Sony are just content with that.
I think some of the exclusives are starting to suffer an identity crisis for sure. And Socom was just a total disaster for anyone wondering why it bombed, they just did absolutely everything wrong with the development of that game lol.
