Sony: 'Our 2015 first party lineup was not as strong as we would have liked'

First party was ok this year.
Wish we got more games in 2015, but the games we got were very good (Bloodborne, Until Dawn...).
Can't wait for 2016!!!

Seems he was a tad confused about SFV and No Man's Sky, as those are 3rd party through-and-through. Nevertheless, while this year wasn't "trash", I always pegged 2016 as the "it" year for PS4. From the very first day, in fact! PlayStation's first two years, historically, are a little thin (although the PS2 had some big titles release in 2001). The PS1 and PS3 were in a similar situation to the current PlayStation, but this year wasn't too bad. Frankly, I was expecting the "greatest line-up in our history" from a competing brand and didn't get that, so I can't fault Sony when I wasn't even promised it in 2015. 

I'll say this, though, the gen has been a slow burner for me. Even on PC, things just feel a little....empty. 2016 is the true turnaround with some of my favorite IPs making a return, like:

Mirror's Edge
Uncharted
Ratchet & Clank
Gears of War
The Walking Dead
Final Fantasy

Then there's the new IPs:

Horizon: Zero Dawn
Quantum Break
ReCore

Should make for an interesting year!

And don't forget that mid year Shu was already saying their first party for this year was a little too thin.
