Industry analyst Michael Pachter just won't give Sony and the PlayStation faithful a break, calling into question the size of the platform's library of first-party content.

On the latest episode of the Bonus Round, Geoff Keighly responded to Pachter's PlayStation Now bashing by bringing up the fact that the company has plenty of in-house content to put on the service. "But you know, Sony has a lot of first-party content," Keighley explained, to which Pachter replied: "A lot is a stretch. Thirty. They have thirty games."

He's clearly only taking into account recent PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 releases, completely discounting the entire backlog of amazing games only available on Sony hardware. Believe it or not, Mr. Pachter, some of us care about the classics too, and PlayStation Now is a great way to provide those games to the masses.

"A lot is a stretch. Thirty. They have thirty games."

what on earth

Pachter saying something worthwhile is a stretch. This guy really is an idiot.

What i do know is that Sony had a stretch last gen that was unmatched in 2009-2011. The rest of the gen was ok for them outside of naughty dog.

Alright, I just figured it out.

I think 30 is supposed to refer the figure Shu said a while back before the PS4 launch about how many 1st party games they have in the pipeline.

Thirty games is still better than Microsoft's massive ensemble of Forza, Gears and Halo.

well if Patcher thinks they only have 30 first party games i think we can safely say any numbers we ever get from him are completely useless.

SCE punblished 105 PS1 games.  Im to lazy to count ps2 and 3 lol

Thirty? Well, okay, sure, let's say that's not "a lot". Still, you're going to soon have PS3 games by other publishers that are no longer generating revenue. How much money is Valkyria Chronicles pulling in, for example? How much will it be pulling in next year at this time? It's not going to be hard to get more games on Playstation Now.

30 games? What? Does he not realize PS Now is going to be used for PS1/PS2/PS3. I'm pretty sure Sony has more than 30 1st party titles from those 3 platforms.

Wow...
