This is the main reason I'm slowly drifting away from PlayStation. Sony's focus on character, emotion, and storytelling is at an all-time high and my investment at an all-time low.

I'm glad there are folks out there whose needs are being met by Sony's current design philosophy. Diversity in the industry is a great thing, and not every platform needs to offer the same kinds of gaming experiences.

But, selfishly, I wish PlayStation would retreat from its cinematic ambitions.

Nailed it. Probably why I have drifted away from PlayStation consoles being my main console the last couple generations. I have grown tired of the cinematic narrative games. I'd love to see what a studio as talented as Naughty Dog could do making a dedicated MP title or a straight action game. I see stuff like Detroit and now Days Gone based on the E3 video and I just could not be less interested.

I understand that you prefer those kind of games while I prefer Sony approach but the reality is that ps4 and xb1 are already very similar by sharing 90% of the library, why ask the same kind of games on both platform? Let them have some differentiation between them.
