Do y'all think it's possible Sony held off from dropping too many major releases this year in order to build up a powerful catalogue to compete with NSW2 next year? 

I don't think so.

We haven't seen Sony do that kind of strategic releasing. There have been some instances where Nintendo has apparently held off on releasing a game to more strategically spread out releases. But we haven't seen that kind of behavior with Sony. Stuff generally seems to come out when it's done. 

I don't think they would have released Horizon II and Gran Turismo 7, 2 weeks apart, with Elden Ring in the middle, if they were that strategic. 

I see. Ig I'm looking at Sony from the perspective of a Nintendo fan...though in my defense, launching Horizon Zero Dawn one week prior to NSW+BotW does scream like Sony was getting a little "ballsy" and felt they could potentially put a damper on Nintendo big launch with their own. Additionally, launching first-party exclusives near the launch of major third-party titles does provide incentive to players to purchase PlayStation over Xbox (if we're talking about the market of console consumers). Though I'm kinda just talking off of intuition. No idea what Sony's thinking is.
