Took Sony 10 years? Do what? No, Sony has always been pumping out good 1st party stuff. Sure, they hit a slight stall at the beginning of the PS3 era, which we can chalk up to HD development learning, which also happened to Nintendo.

It's just the same old BS, journalists making excuses for Xbox, just like with the power disparity from the beginning of the gen. MS actually started strong with 1st party development this gen. It's just Xbox is no longer a #1 priority for MS, so they are cutting down on 1st party development and on buying 3rd party exclusives. Maybe they'll try again next gen, but if XB2 experiences a similar fate, they will ramp down, again. And if it performs worse, they may just be done altogether. At least as far as consoles are concerned.

I think he means opening studio's and growing talent within them, so they have developers able to do a game thats a 95 on metacritic. He saying that talent in the studios didnt just magically appear, sony grew the studios and the talent.

I think Phil is saying the same,....  give us time to open some studios and grow some talent in them.
But if this was true, why havnt we heard about MS buying some studios? or forming some new ones?

It could just be "empty" talk.... or maybe they have bought studios and just not announced them to the world yet?

It comes off sounding like : Phil - "Next gen we ll be better"  (but why should it? he doesnt explain "why")

meanwhile at Sony:
1) announce they ll invest more going forwards (next gen) into game developement than they have this gen.
2) theyre opening up a new big budget studio (could be the first of many)

It is obvious it take time to make good studios and IPs and that MS is the last of the 3 to have started putting effort into it...
Unfortunately although they promise to be putting more and more money, effort, focus on it, we never really see much result.

Their too limited by their own 1st party studio's atm.
Thats not gonna change going forwards next gen, unless they start forming new studio's or buying some.
