I predicted we would see less from Sony this gen. Many of their titles did modest or flopped last gen and consumers are more interested in 3rd party.

MS was criticized for focusing on fewer projects than Sony last gen. But MS's strategy clearly makes sense to Sony now.

Yeaaaah no.

No, yeaaaah. Sony is clearly focusing on less 1st party and pushing 3rd party more. This is what MS has been doing for years and criticized for.

Sony is now throwing money at 3rd parties for exclusive advertising, betas, and content. Its cheaper than making games and still gets attention.

I'll post it again

Killzone Shadow Fall
Knack
Infamous Second Sun
Driveclub
LBP3
The Order 1886
Uncharted 4
Guerrilla Games new IP

+ MM, Santa monica, Quantic Dream and Sony bend

they're not cutting on first party, they're keeping it, plus expanding third party. And indies. so it's all growing. Which is why PS4 is going to have the best library in ages.

 

oh and Sony released 7 AAA first party exclusives in 2013...

2014 seems to be 3, which is normal after such a productive year

Will go back up in 2015-2016
