Machiavellian on 24 December 2015
Not sure this has anything with Sony being smart then timing. I am sure if Sony had the games for the later half of 2015, they would have released them. Instead, Sony did not have those first party games so they had NO CHOICE but to promote third party and indie games. Think about it, most games have 2 to 3 year windows. Sony had to depend on 3rd party and indie games because they just did not have their first party stuff ready. It was not glorious smart strategy it was just how things turned out and Sony was lucky that things turned out in their favor.
I will definitely say some of the movies Sony has made this gen has been right on point and excellent but this is not one of them.
