True, but 3rd party already produce more Online Multiplayer only games, than the Market needs. the same isnt true for single player story forcused games. So the logical question is... why would sony do a online only multiplayer focused game? it doesnt make any sense to do so imo.
"I could also say its waste to make Killzone, Uncharted, Drive Club, GT...there other 3rd party games that are not big online games, and PS4 would sell great even without games that I mentione." - Miyamoto I dont think this is true. Plus how many single player games are on the level of a Uncharted? Last of us? very veeery few. "there are plenty of 3rd party single player games and games that are not big online games, for instance Far Cry 5 was just released." - Miyamoto |
Thats not true, there are off course less 3rd party online only games than all other other 3rd party games together. You can also say thats tough place for AAA single player games also, how many new IPs of AAA single player games this gen succeeded!? On other hand you have games like Overwatch, Splatoon 2, PUBG, Fortnite Battle Royale...that are huge success.
So yes, its strange that's basicly only genre that Sony lacks is game with online focus, what you saying would make sense if 3rd partys are making only online games and thats not true offcourse.
You can think whatever you want, but fact is that PS4 was selling great even before had any big exclusive and that best selling games on PS4 are multi platform games (in top 10 best PS4 selling games you have only one Sony game). Offocurse big good games like those you mentione are helping in any case but PS4 would sell great even without those games while good and popular online game would help in same manner. Offcourse they are different games, but online games can be also quite different.
And again, just for record, I again saying they clearly dont need online game, but its definatly strange that they didnt still try with some big online game this gen when they have most of other genres covered, and your point thats beacuse 3rd party online games, is not logical beacuse 3rd party have all genres avalible on PS4 not just online games.
