The thread is talking about spreading out exclusives. Last generation, the PS3 was getting many exclusives not spaced out that well and that lead to many selling badly.  

I'm not seeing it.  I went back to look at 2011:

LBP2 - January
KZ3 - February
MotorStorm - March
SOCOM 4 - April
InFamous 2 - June
Resistance 3 - September (6th)
ICO & SotC HD - September (28th)
R&C All 4 One - October
Uncharted 3 - November (2nd)
EyePet & Friends - November (15th)

It's possible that I've missed something but that still looks pretty darn spread out to me, especially considering that was one of Sony's best years in terms of total content.  I will concede, however, that EyePet & Friends might have cut the legs out from under Uncharted 3


Take a ganders at this...from 2010-2013 the last years of the console generation look at the amount of exclusives Sony released compared to Xbox. Somewhere in the realm of 60 to 15. 60 exclusives in 3 years is too much. Gamers can't afford that many games. To release just for the sake of releasing is stupid. That's why cheaper more affordable Indie games are being released and big boys are given released dates that will optimize sales. Great business strategy.

Except only half of those were sony released games, the rest third party. Oh and you know 2010-2013 is 4 years.

Sony is delaying games because they were never ready and they have no need to rush them as they are winning, there is no secret strategy behind their logic, but I don't think anybody here will convince you otherwise.

All of those are exclusives pal. All by Sony own studios. And we can make wager right here right now that WILL NOT see Sony over saturate first party releases EVER during this Gen. And you will also see incredibly greater sales for first party games because of it.
