What didn't review well? Anything under 75 is quite terrible for metacritic standards. Yes, I'm serious. Gaming critics give out 9s and 10s so easily that a game needs to be almost broken to receive a score under 80. Assassin's Creed: Unity was quite broken at launch and still received a 70% on metacritic.

As for why it matters if it's Sony developed or not: you'd expect Sony would be the developer to support the PS4 the most, but this list doesn't really show that no matter at what metric we look (sales or critical reception).

It should have had a Gran Turismo that sold 10 million copies at this point.

As for your final question, that's not really relevant is it? Anyone can have his or her opinion on just about anything.

They say Nintendo struggled with HD development, but they were still able to pump out more games for the Wii U at the same point in its life-cycle (New Super Mario Bros. U, Pikmin 3, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Super Mario 3D World, Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, Super Mario Maker, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Super Smash Bros. 4, Yoshi's Woolly World). It's just something I've noticed. The only reason why Nintendo's "struggle with HD development" was much more noticable is because they lack third party support (but this thread is about exclusives).

Anything under 75 is quite terrible? News to me. Even if we use that criteria, that's less than half the games up there, so this "lot" you speak of doesn't exist.

Second, a GT selling 10 million at this point is moot. It's one less game off the list, while there are plenty others (a good few new IPs, at that) that have made their mark.

Finally, my last question is quite relevant. Just because you don't favor many of the games on there, doesn't make their inclusion any less meaningful. So, saying the games are "poor" (by your standard) doesn't change a thing. They sold at least 1m copies. Your opinion of their content/quality is meaningless, in this regard.

Selling at least 1m copies is not an impressive achievement on such a big userbase as the PS4. Nintendo has around 40 3DS games they published that sold at least 1m copies. It won't be much longer before the PS4 has overtaken the 3DS.

And 4 out of 10 games is a lot to me. That's 40%.

And yes, I find these games quite poor if that's all they have to show after 3 years. It's my opinion and I stand by it. Their third party support might be great, but I'm not particularly impressed by their first party support. Still no God of War, still no Gran Turismo, still no new IP from Naughty Dog (who made new IPs for the PS1, PS2 and PS3), still no new big IP on the level of Littlebigplanet, Uncharted or The Last of Us.
