Yeah, a rubbish article, especially in the assessment of Sony's games and long development cycle. They totally forget about the variety in Sony's line-up and that the Switch games that are have been released have had long development cycles too since they basically stopped supporting the Wii U to make games for the Switch.

1) How surprising of you to say that ...

2) I would agree with you when it comes to the variety of games that is coming out on PS4 though, I think the autor didn't put attention into that.

3) But there's a difference between announcing a game that will only come out 2,3 or 4 years later for the majority of it's big 1st party/2nd party/exclusive third party line up rather than just knowing it's being developped before it's official announcement. Sony is guilty of that repeatedly this generation. Though, Nintendo did it with Zelda this gen and that's pretty much it.

3. The circumstances are just different. Nintendo pulled backed development on the WiiU to announced a bunch of games that would release the same year for the Switch. But that's not the main difference. The types of games developed by Sony studios are just bigger in scope and ambition and have longer development cycles in general. That said, you're still incorrect as most games release in less than 2 years. Even the much delayed GT Sport will released in less than 2 years after announcement.
