Horizon being in development has nothing to do with it. He was claiming GG went from success to success and people tend to forget the low points of companies inbetween. ND also werent releasing masterpieces when Sony brought them straight away. These things dont also happen instantly. Some time it takes time and abit of luck. GG finially found something they are good at, same with ND and many other inhouse studios. GGs last game before Horizon was KZ Shadowfall way into the buyout of Sony.

Horizon being in development first seems important to me when you claimed that the perceptions of KZSF resulted in them moving away from the IP, which is rather baseless. 

As for the other point you were making: I don't necessarily disagree with your thoughts. It's not an overnight change, but Sony clearly have a structure in place that can afford them success. I do believe that HM are primed to see more success in their coming ventures, but I suppose we won't know until we know.

I think we are seeing different views from GG and its progression. I am just stating that they moved away from Killzone due to it not hitting its mark anymore, they have found something better. They have moved away from KZ because currently they have no intention on making another one (yet)

Lets hope HM do even better, however i don't have a lot faith in believing companies will guarantee success just because they are owned. Sony definitely doesn't have a perfect record here if history shows. No company is perfect. Sony are doing great as of late however lets not forget the past eg: closures etc. This goes for every company not just Sony.
