In all fairness, Switch (and now Switch 2) have more first-party titles people are willing to play and pay full price for. Nintendo's most ambitious games being high AA to low AAA if AAA is the big industry standard for production helps too in terms of profit and development time. Sony has made so many similar games the PS5 generation. If you exclude MLB and PSVR2 games (which really aren't a crazy amount combined) their first-party output has been pretty small in variety and amount. But I'm not ignoring history, PS4 took until at least 2016 and especially 2017 until the first-party titles that people really wanted to play came out frequently. Sony bet so much on cinematic games and GAAS that it is biting them in the butt in positive customer feedback. Still, they are making insane amounts of revenue and a lot of profit as well. We'll have to see if it bites them when PS6 launches. Sony was riding so high with PS2 and look how PS3 started. |
I think this latest move hints at where they're headed. I think we're going to see exactly what you described (hard focus on making AAA, Uncharted-like exclusives again). Because if not, pulling out of PC would be incredibly stupid.
