I will. Hopefully you will too

Let's face it though, doesn't make much of a difference. Every game in 2016 except huge multiplats and U4 is going to flop, schedule doesn't make a difference

It'll be the year of great games and many flops.

This has been a yearly trend (look at the lower barrier to enter NPD top 10 for instance, and the gap between that and the top places) and will keep getting worse

Of course. I've been waiting for it since the moment they teased it and it looks to be the best in the series. But without a real push (and Sony's been known to halfheartedly push anything that  isn't a ND and SMS project if at all), the movie is one of the last hopes for a franchise that very well should be Sony's Mario by this point.

Of course they choose to release this right on top of an already pretty stacked April. Something tells me Ratchet's the one getting screwed in all this now, since nobody is going to pick Ratchet over Uncharted unless the movie absolutely takes off. Shame that yet again they choose to throw an Insomniac game out to die next to an Uncharted launch, since that's what helped kill ACiT.

But I sort of expected this. Druckmann and Straley aren't that good at scheduling. Still hoping they do the series justice and that their takeover of ND was for better and not worse. Either way I've got Libertalia edition preordeded

Greatest advantage of being IP of an First party is that they can push the game all year around and continue to sell.

I'm not expecting Nintendo game level life span, but it should last at least 6 month.

If not for games like The Order hitting bargain bin very shortly after launch I'd agree with you. Sony is a different beast this gen even compared to last gen, and they were terrible with the sub-AAA franchises last gen. 

 

I hope I'm wrong but I see this going the same way as Resistance 3, where it gets overcrowded and screwed despite being an excellent game.
