Sony Japan co-develops Japanese titles. Thats also one of the reasons why you dont hear much about projects from them for long spans of time. Its not BS, you just don't agree because you have a bias to Microsoft. I like both companies...I just want Microsoft to be a more credible competitor.

Why didn't they help co-develop TLG and help up quality on GT titles during 7th gen?

I do have bias to MS but I don't downplay other brands like you do.

MS has a different development philosophy that you don't seem to understand, even though your adored company has been using thesame strategy the longest.

Dude, Ive been critizing all companies as well as giving them credit where credit is due. I like Sony a lot but I criticize them because I want them to grow just like Microsoft. I understand Microsofts philosophy. Phil Spencers philosophy isnt very much different from Shane Kims circa  2007. Shane Kim made a lot of good decisions with third party exclusives in the early phase of Microsofts 360 run with the Xbox (sans RROD). Its why I bought the 360 over the PS3 and didnt buy a PS3 until 2009. Even you agreed with me on one or two of my criticisms of Sony which i've been doing quite frequently since I got my Xbox One and have been weighing out the differences. 

Sony can outdevelop Microsoft on their own but it generally takes their studios about two years to start to surface with their new IP's. After this E3 it seems I was right on point. Microsoft has the exclusives now, but when Sony is firing exclusives from first, second and third party for the rest of the gen Microsoft will hit a point where they will have fewer and fewer games because their budget for paying third party is being cu.

P.S.

The last guardian takes more heart to make than what Microsoft could fathom. A very difficult game and if its a success it would be considered groundbreaking for the industry just like SOTC. Give Sony Japan a little credit, they've been busting their asses.
