The first party titles aren't really for making money but creating a diverse library of titles that appeal to different demographics. i think Sony should be commended for this philosophy, god knows we don't need them just putting out just the same few franchises that turn a profit year after year like all the other publishers. the amount of new IPs coming from major publishers this gen that we know of so far is quite sad, look at it:
EA: Titanfall UFC Unravel
Nintendo: Splatoon The Wonderful 101
Ubisoft: The Crew Watch Dogs For Honor The Division Child of Light
MS Studios: Ryse Sunset Overdrive Quantum Break Recore Scalebound Sea of Thieves Crimson Dragon Ori and the Blind Forest Screamride
Sony: Bloodborne Horizon Zero Dawn The Last Guardian Detroit: Become Human Dreams Until Dawn Driveclub The Order 1886 Knack Death Stranding Days Gone Everybody's gone to the Rapture The Tomorrow Children WiLD What Remains of Edith Finch Drawn to Death Kill strain Alienation Matterfall Bound Helldivers Resogun Hohokum Guns Up Entwined
Sony is the only publisher willing to spend money on titles that might not work out financially. |
Exactly this, this post literally just sums up why i habe stuck to PlayStation. Their willingness to make new IPs and experiment with games is second to no other publisher in the industry. Every single generation, I cam pretty much guarantee that there will be a couple of great new IPs Sony would totally get behind and push.
Oh, you missed Spiderman btw, and lets not even get into the sleuth of new promising IPs you didn't mention with regards to PSvr eg Rigs and farpoint.
And another great thing about Sony, is that every single generation they add at least two or three games to their staple of long term continuous franchises (even though they have shown they aren't afraid to just drop them and move on) Last gen they added uncharted, last of us and infamous. This gen they seem to be adding horizon, bloodborne, days gone and God knows what else...... just brilliant.
