The Nintendo Switch is a good example of it, but the problem I had was even when I got my Switch in July, the other games that came out (Arms and Splatoon 2) didn't interest me despite the fact that I did buy them and gave them a genuine chance. I guess the problem is not just exclusive to Sony's lack of great system sellers with the PS4 (no offense to those who disagree or liked those games), it's also that third parties did not step up to the plate and instead offered massive sellers that were received as mediocre. It has to be an effort from everyone to make the system feel special throughout it's first year.
I agree with you. Although I kind of think at least one of those games (Tsushima, Death Stranding, TLOU2) will get a definitive edition. Makes them a lot of money. There's a couple of other ways they can make the system special.
For one, I think it would be smart to release one of the cross-gen games on the same date as the release of the console, similar to BOTW. But then release the next exclusive (probably Horizon 2) 1-3 months after that. This way they can make the console launch popular with a game people would rather play on next gen consoles anyways (probably Tsushima), and it won't cost a lot of development time either because the game was already being made for PS4. BUT they'll also have a brand new game made specifically for PS5 around the launch window as well.
Also, the obvious: backwards compatibility. It would be a great feature especially because with development times increasing, I think that a lot of the best 8th gen games are coming near the end of the generation.
Also: " Naughty Dog new IP ? I can see it 2 years from release, and the next God of War the year after."
You think God of War 5 will release in 2023? I think that's kinda late. They'll probably use the same engine as GOW 2018 and just modify it. I expect a 2021 release tbh. Or early 2022 maybe.
