It seems I have the opposite reaction to potential walking back of Sony 1st party exclusive games on PC. If Sony continues their current philosophy, I'm not buying a PS6. My PS5 is basically a dust magnet bcause I can get the games on PC. Worse I sold my original PS5 and snagged a PRO. I think the last game I bought for PS5 was Stellar Blade. Which I ended up buying again on PC. That game had the best PSSR implementation that I've seen. Better than Rebirth's which wasn't bad but Stellar Blade's looked markedly better.

One thing I thought since this rumor/leak launched is that, how many first party titles can Sony launch? And I'm talking real first party titles, not timed or console exclusives bought from third party publishers.

Because other than Insomniac, how many of their studios can actually launch more than one game per gen right now? Naughty Dog hasn't even launched one new game yet, and the PS5 has been in the market for 5 years.

The reason for the reduced output from their studios is the insanely stupid GaaS push from Jim Ryan and Hermen Hulst. Without it, the output would have been significantly higher. The now shuttered Blue Point would have likely had release two games by now and be in the midst of a third. Naughty Dog wasted years on GaaS focued TLOU Factions title...and I'm off on a tangent that's topic related. Sorry about that.

You have nothing to be sorry about. You made a good point about SOnyu's obsession with GaaS games and how it impacted their game output this gen.

But I wonder what was Naughty Dog's role in this, because they're big enough in every single metric (size, popularity and importance in the Playstation brand), that I think they could have opted out of making a multiplayer TLoU game if they had wanted.
