"Sony gave them their first big break into the industry which means more exclusives for Sony. And if the talent is too good to pass up they can just buy them for cheap before they get too big and expensive"

 

what happened to all the studios and games that sony gave a chance with on the PS1? theres not one game that stayed on PS FF, GTA, RE, sielent hill, tomb raider even MGS

 

this indie focus is just that right now were having a indie boom these games are also available on PC and more and more are also coming on XB1

Squaresoft (back then), Capcom, Konami... Those were both developers and publishers during the PS era. Not indie devs. Nice try though.

correct but that doesnt change that fact that there not exclusive any more sony has shown that there not going to go out of there way to keep a game or franshise exclusive no matter how big that game is.  the OP is suggesting that sony is focusing on indies b/c they might be able to acquire good talent exclusive games for cheap which i believe is not the case is more of indies focusing on the PS4 and PC b/c the freedom these platforms offer and ease of development

i believe very few indie titles from here on out are going to remain exclusive to the PS4 platform this gen especially now with MSs indie program idxbox making grounds
