Eh, I feel like people focus too much on who develops what. As long as an IP belongs to a manufacturer, in my eyes, that is a game released with their supoport, regardless of the developer's Party status. Therefore, franchises like Bloodborne are just as important to a console's health as IPs such as Uncharted. |
I see it as a way to trust a console manufacturer, kind of the same way I view artists, or just entertainment in general. Obviously its a business, to make money, expand brands, etc, but Sony and Nintendo have proven, through originally developed first party games, they have an extensive + successful portfolio in the gaming industry. Its kind of like saying DC has better movies than Marvel, and using the Dark Knight trilogy as an example, instead of say Suicide Squad or BvS (which I still haven't watched!). As an entity, it is all technically the same, but in a industry like film or gaming, I'd want to support a company that has a proven, internal track record, since it proves they have a better overall understanding of the industry. Basically, it's a brand I can support.
