Totally agree. Right now, I think both Sony and Microsoft have a first-party problem. Microsoft mitigates that problem by creating partnerships that produce games like Scalebound and ReCore, and Sony mitigates the problem by inviting in third-party Japanese exclusives.

Sony doesn't have a first party problem.

I believe it does.

Many of Sony's studios are inconsistent. Sucker Punch struck gold with Infamous then lost its way, focusing now on storytelling and graphics. Bend hasn't worked on something really good in a long time. MediaMolecule has some ambitious, creative ideas, but suffers when it comes to gameplay. Guerrilla hasn't made anything good in ten years. Team Ico has the most talent, but has been MIA for a decade. Liverpool is shuttered. Even the best and most consistent studios have turned in duds - Naughty Dog with Uncharted 3 and JAPAN Studio with Puppeteer.

Really, Sony has never had consistently great first-party content, with one exception: PS2. Games like God of War, God of War II, The Precursor Legacy, Going Commando, Up Your Arsenal, Killzone, Ico, and Shadow of the Colossus combined with third party exclusives to make arguably the best library ever.
