OP, I am wondering what scores you'd give Nintendo and Sony first party? Just for comparisons sake.
Nintendo has put out some gems this gen but also some big duds, which is much worse than MicroSony putting out a dud because the Wii U gets very poor third party support. So each bad/average game is a much bigger blow.
We're pretty much two years into the gen and all Sony first party has to show is Driveclub, which was a gorgeous game but otherwise pretty average. I mean, what does one decent game score you? I guess the bulk of the score here would depend on your opinion of unreleased games like Uncharted 4 and Horizon, because it surely can't be good based on the current output.
In comparisons sake I think the state of MS first party is actually quite good. I mean hell, at least they've released multiple titles of quality.
