I don't think he should be fired, but Sony definitly has not had a good 1st party for a few years now. It is very odd how they did such amazing work with the PS3, which was said to be incredibly difficult to work with, yet they are putting out less and lower quality games now, with the PS4 which is supposed to be a dream to work on.

To give them credit, I really enjoyed Killzone Shadowfall, Infamous Second Son, DRIVECLUB, and Uncharted 4. The problem is thats barely one game a year, when at times on PS3, even early, it was closer to 4 games a year I was really enjoying.

Then you don't have Home, which should be part of PS4, especially with them charging for Online now. Home could have really worked well on PS4, and It would have been one of the biggest killer apps they could have ever asked for, for PSVR.

Finally, going forward, I just don't have a lot of excitement for what they are working on. I feel Horizan is over praised, and heading in the same direction as No Mans Sky. Gran Turismo Sport is a great looking game, but it should have come out in 2015, in 2017, four years after launch, I am expecting a full GT with 2000+ cars and 100+ tracks, not a Prologue. God of War, this one looks the most interesting of the traditional games they have in development. I'm not exactly sure I like it, but it looks promising.

All, I can say is, I really hope WWS has been hard at work creating amazing PSVR titles, and that is why things look so bleak right now. If that is not the case, then Sony has a serious problem internally, and it needs to be addressed ASAP. And to those talking PS4 sales, that is due to PS4 being the home of 3rd party games right now. Shu is very lucky that 2nd & 3rd parties have carried the ship so far.

Agree with everything you said, except for the part of Horizon. Sony's 1st Party moves have been questionable at best and also which games should be promoted (the Order vs Untill Dawn). This is the third year that Ps4 doesnt have any major AAA exclusive for fall. And the two exclusive games that are coming at the end of the year are releasing 5 days apart from each other Gravity Rush 2 1st dec and The Last Guardian 6th December. Even if one assumes devs are working hard on PSvr titles, then previous gen they had to worry about PSvita too, but the fact is I dont see any 1st party AAA dev have Psvr games in development, exception gurriela cambridge, but they were vita devs now a VR. so technically they dont count.
