That's so strange to me, I feel the opposite. I saw a ton of games, well, at least 7-8 games from the Sony conference that I'm interested in heavily or definitely going to buy. I'm patient enough to wait for them to show up, hell 2017 is about half over. Why aren't I upset everything isn't coming 2017? Because the holiday slate is CRAM PACKED with multiplats. It's just not wise to bring your exclusives to the table Oct-Dec timeframe if you can help it. It's going to be a week-to-week showcase of massive third-party sledgehammers, and dropping new titles in there is kind of wasteful.

I like having things show up in the first half of the year :) If anything, I feel it does a disservice how Microsoft has sometimes crammed all of their releases into the holidays, and then left barren the rest of the year :/ 

If anyone can't find a game to play this holiday season, maybe they should just give up gaming lol. That release schedule is bananas.

Sony's release schedule is fine although I always like a big Sony game launching in November. I was dissapointed because of the lack of release windows and teasers. The trailers by themselves where good especially Spiderman, Uncharted and Days gone. Although I would have liked a teaser on what Sucker Punch is working on. Furthermore I would have liked to sea dreams although I think that's going to be a PS5 project by now.

I think Sony is fine this year. The October/November release schedule is crowded with the annual releases and some noteworthy third party releases like The Evil Within 2, Need for Speed: Payback, Battlefront 2, Assassin's Creed Origins, Middle Earth: Shadow of War, Wolfenstein 2, CoD WW2, South Park, etc.

Leaving the holiday to enjoy third party games, partcularly since Sony has the marketing deal for CoD at this point, is just the smart move. Holiday 2017 is crowded enough without a Sony megaton dropping in the middle of it all.
