Metroid Prime will release 2018 haven't you heard? They didn't show anything but the logo because they want to surprise everyone.

Oh, they actually confirmed a 2018 release?

Hell no, I was joking on the only Sony announces games too much before release.

Yea, you might want to check out this link.  On average, the games MS announces actually take about a month and a half longer than Sony's to launch.  Which is impressive on Sony's part, since they have announced more than twice as many as MS has.  So, do you want to drop the false narrative?  Or continue to be off topic?

You proved my point lol. I said "Yeah but Nintendo and Microsoft are better at showing games that are releasing sooner than Sony." and that shows that 63 of Sonys games arent out while only 32 of the games MS shown arent out yet. 63 games is far larger than 32 game

How can Sony announcing, releasing and also about to release all being double MS proves you right? So we can also say MS have no games because Sony released double than they? But way to go to choose the only metric were you could spin in your favor.

Sony would b wise to push their games into next year....

Ps4 line up for rest of 2017

Crash remake
Uncharted
GT SPORTS
AC origins
SW BF 2
Destiny 2

And those are just mega jaw dropping AAA IP , it's too many games they already dropped Horizon, and hadn't persona and Nioh out this year..... it's like a huge line up, similar to 2015

This.
Exactly for this crampacked gamelineup, are Sony scoping their next AAA first party titles for H1-2018. Just like this year, when AAA games came out early this year. I think their strategy pays off, because the H2 and holidays are typical release times for third party AAA games. Would otherwise be overcrowded. And since Sony has marketing deals with most of these games, they don't need to push it further. Smarter move to keep thier prime games for 2018, when it is probably expected that MS will bring the game muscles to market.

Though doubt that TLoU2 will come in 2018. Already to crampacked with their games. Probably spring/summer 2019. Same strategy as 2018 and 2017. 
And doubt that Halo6 will come next year. Nothing is announced yet. 

From the time MS hires people to make new AAA games, and till they come to market = several years from now.

Sony has a solid launch strategy with their games I believe. Seems that spring is the new holiday season..

I do like to have new games along the year and buying they spreadout... my agreement with wife is to buy a new game about every 3 months.
