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 bring 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. |
I'm not naive.
They are shoveling out exclusives and games as fast as they can because the development time IS getting very long (and unfortunately, quality has been subpar on everything but their port of TLOUR). There is a massive hunger for games, as can be seen by what hype and marketting can do for a pile of uninspired crap like W_D, but they cannot meet demand. They would LOVE to be able to meet it, they just can't. That's why they put forth all these indie games at things like gamescon. They simply have nothing else to show or present. (And, while those indies LOOK nice... most of them, when looked at with some skepticism, may be nothing more than fancy window dressing.)
M$ seems to have realized this and started applying the $ of their name to acquire as many games as possible from the third-party farms.
