Compare and contrast, if you will: Metal Gear Solid IV: Guns of the Patriots holds a Metascore of 94, Heavy Rain has an average score of 87, God of War III has a review average of 92, Killzone 2 holds an impressive 91 average, the first two LittleBigPlanet games come in at 95 and 91, and the three Uncharted titles have the following Metascores respectively: 88, 96, and 92. Undoubtedly, these games helped lead the charge last generation and establish PlayStation as, once again, the king of exclusive software.

Cherry-picking at its best! The PS4 launch is 16 months ago... only ONE of these listed games was released in the same time frame since PS3 launch, two of them were released in year 5.

• MGS 4 = 20 months after PS3 launch
• Heavy Rain = 40 months after PS3 launch
• God of War 3 = 41 months after PS3 launch
• Killzone 2 = 28 months after PS3 launch
• LittleBigPlanet 1 = 23 months after PS3 launch
• LittleBigPlanet 2 = 51 months after PS3 launch
• Uncharted 1 = 11 months after PS3 launch
• Uncharted 2 = 35 months after PS3 launch
• Uncharted 3 = 60 months after PS3 launch

And if Heavy Rain counts as "Sony's First-Party-Exclusive"... what has happened to quality games the Sony published in 2006 and 2007?

Genji: Days of Blade (Metascore 55), Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom (Metascore 58) and Lair (Metascore 53)?

 

This post puts things into perspective. It just sucks that we have to wait so long.
