I checked Sony's last E3 presentation and guess what, they had 9 games that were coming out last year or this year and 5 for... let's say 2018 (not out of the question if one or more releases this year).
I also checked their first E3 presentation and this is the result (X = Indies):
13 - 11111X
14 - 1111111XXXXX
15 - 11X
16 - 1X

I don't see Sony announcing things as you say (2-3 years instead of close to release).

 

Give me one example, what exatly Sony or MS game was announced and in relased in less than year in recent times. All currently announced games like new GoW, Days Gone, Gran Turismo Sport, TLoU2...even exclusives like Spiderman or FF7R, are announced at last E3 (FF7R was announced 2 years ago) and they still don't have no one release date.

 

I'm not going to bother anwsering about the rest.

You made a statement: sony's strategy was to reveal 2-3 years ahead.
I gave you 2 examples (E3 2013, E3 2016) where the focus was on games coming the curent year or the following year.

Either you don't believe me or you don't want to believe.
