Sony needs something to replace Bethesda's single player RPGs.

I think people need to realize that when you look closer at the games Microsoft and Sony put out they are different. So by logic Sony needs an open world car racer to match Forza.
You cannot really compare the type of games Microsoft publishes to what Sony publishes, so people that keep saying Sony needs to copy Microsoft of vice-versa are just blind to the games each company publishes. Let's say you want Sony to copy Forza Horizon to compete or you want to play a game like that on PS because you don't want to buy an Xbox or game on PC. That's fine to think that since PS is you're preference, but keep in mind there's always going to be games that you want to play that's just not going to be on your preferred platform. I hope every game goes to all platforms so that everyone can enjoy games on their preferred platform, but unfortunately that will never happen.

But it's not about platforms trying to differentiate themselves and offer different things, this was a forced outcome by Microsoft. Bethesda games have always been part and parcel of the Playstation library and have done well on the system.
