Sony turned a lack of Exclusive Multiplayer Games to a Strategic Play...

I do think sony have done well but i suspect that their proficiency with open world games, certainly in the early stages of the gen were more luck then a deliberate strategy. But they seem to have recognized it as a good thing and run with it.

It does seem as tho they stumbled into this strategy at least in part by accident. They were ready to do battle in the MP space but after the SSM game bust and Killzone Shadow Fall not really pushing any number they saw a new opportunity. Since then they have doubled down on it. Interested to see if TLOU tries to implement MP again in any significant way or will it end up derailing like Uncharted 4's (I say this as a big fan of UC2's MP but it has since waned heavily).
