Spreading exclusives out over time is actually smart business from Sony.

I doubt they are spreading them out on purpose. Development time is simply much, much longer with these shiny graphics that everyone wants. Games are getting harder and harder to make on time schedules we've been used to in the past. Hence everything and its dog being delayed.

Oh trust me it's DEFINITELY on purpose. They will not repeat their mistakes from last gen. This should be CLEAR by now. Sony learned from mistakes last gen and haven't made a single one of them yet this gen. And the results are staggering to say the least. Possible PS2 domination underway.

Furthermore, don't be naive. You have to understand business. All these games getting "delayed" are not really delayed. They were announced and given favorable release windows to being more gamers on board to next gen. The health of the industry depends on gamers buying a new console on good faith that great games are coming to it. Trust me, Batman was never releasing this year. Neither was the Witcher, The Division, or MGS5. It's all part of the plan.

What mistakes? They've won an uphil battle by pumping out exclusives as fast as possible.

Do you think they would've sold more consoles if they'd spread them out more evenly?
