6/14 of SIE's WWS only produced 4 games this generation. Should they improve?

Idk what dirt Yamauchi has on Sony execs but it must be substantial for him to remain atop Polyphony even with the shit job they’ve done with Gran Turismo. Amazing that Evolution can be shit canned after Driveclub but PD remains.

This thread just reminds me of how safe Sony has played it this gen compared to PS3 and PS2.

I remember reading that Yamaguchi has another role with in the PS division outside of being the CEO of Polyphony. Besides, his studio makes money, something that couldn't be said of Evolution who were not canned only because of DriveClub, but because of the Motorstorm series too. They were an unprofitable team that couldn't deliver even when Sony let them create their passion project DriveClub.

How has Sony played it safe compared to the PS3?

Probably by not making the 6 games losing money, 2 breaking even and 2 bringing the money. Since all their games are now great success they are playing safe... last gen Sony was mocked by all the games that weren't blockbusters.
