Sony produces unique games all the time. Issue is, the narrative has changed - for some reason (I know why). This is par for course for them as long as I've gamed on their machines.

I'll admit that when I saw your response I thought you were extrapulating too much out of my comment. But I guess when I typed that comment, I was more or less thinking about the climate of games Sony was producing in regards to their unique-ness. 

I both agree and disagree with you. Sony produces games like The Last Guardian(my GOTY after Overwatch last year), and Gravity Rush 2 which I still need to get to. But, I wouldn't say they produce unique games "all the time", unless you're talking about publishing 3rd parties which is obviously a different story. 

Uncharted is having a 5th entry for no real reason, God of War is becoming more like the TLOU and instead of doing an amazonian theme goes for a Nordic theme(seriously...Nords are getting so tired at this point), there's another David Cage game, there's another Last of Us, and even when they took a small studio on the vita and let them publish a big budget title on the PS4, they made another zombie game .... 

I think Playstation's *brand* really speaks uniqueness but that's because 3rd parties are constantly providing weird and interesting exclusive content, not Sony. I can't really blame Sony directly because it seems like they more or less just let their developers do what they want to personally do. But even Horizon disappointed me with how much it reminded me of Rise of  the Tomb Raider, although I still love the unique enemy design.

The narrative hasn't changed for no reason. It's changed for a pretty good reason honestly. Sony used to be the company to jump to a new squeaky clean ship every generation and now you're seeing a continuation of the PS3 with new ips that don't offer much difference except Horizon and TLG.

Sony puts money behind most their 3rd party exclusives......meaning they "produced" them
