The only Sony game selling over 10M before The Last of Us in 2013 was Gran Turismo.

PS1 and PS2 were piracy heaven, I know it, I was there, nobody I knew had a single PS1 or PS2 original game, but everyone had the systems and played the games.

This is quite absurd to use as a point about content, to be honest.

Crash Bandicoot when coming to modern systems, being a remaster, so pretty much exactly the same games, sold over 20M copies, wanna compare it to the sales on those games on PS1 to point out what should be big changes in content to please the modern audience? Come on...

I'll try and remain constructive and simply ask you, do you honestly doubt 2018s GOW sales growth was connected to its change in creative direction?

No connection at all.

Every single Playstation game was elevated because of The Last of Us, and Sony first party games garnered a lot more attention from everyone after it.

Even games like Ghost of Tsushima sold 10M. Uncharted went from selling 6M to selling 16M.

Sony games became symbols of high quality, and not necessarily any game philosophy change was responsible for it.

Uncharted 2 is widely regarded as the best in the series and 4 still sold 3x what it did.
