Thank god they didnt or else I would have had to pay for online in the 7th gen

Instead, that pain was delayed for another generation.

Still hate the idea of paying for online.

I made a post before PS4 came out stating how they reduced 1st Party output to a minimum for this gen, and despite the drought of games / announcements people were skeptical.

Damn imagine a gen without the GOTG. I wonder who would have gotten that honor instead.

That would have been a stupid move or maybe it would be a good move.
We'll sadly never know.

Really interesting, I love stuff like this. Thanks for sharing!

It would have been an unmitigated disaster for Sony if they'd offloaded their entire first party.

RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.
