When did they say that? It doesn't really ring true considering they have more first party studios now than they did at the start of this generation. |
They said it towards the end of last gen. Things might have changed, but I remember that. Sony was bleeding financially and they were reported by 2011 to have made more of an investment comparable to nintnedo or Microsoft in new ip investments. When you are winning generations it's not harder but rather easier to convince third party to work more closely with you. Look how it worked out for Microsoft last gen. Sure their first party wasn't on fire but they got a lot of third party support more easily. Sony makes so many games anyway that it wouldn't be as easy to notice the cutbacks as it would to be Microsof anyway.
