It's not surprising with costs getting higher and higher. Near the end of the PS3 era they were release like 8 major exclusives per year, and most of them ended up failing. Now they're going the Microsoft route of a release a few exclusives per year but giving each one major attention. Indie titles will fill in the gaps between major releases. Seems like a smart strategy to me.

But if Nintendo does it then doomed?

I dont understand

Unlike Nintendo, Sony doesn't have to rely solely on 1st party support.

Sorry for the extra post... made a mistake trying to edit another post and somehow i doble posted...

anyway, Remember people AAA is about the MONEY put into the games NOT the QUALITY. the fact that a game costed 60+ millions of dollars to create doesnt mean that it will be a great game.

Not worried about that, We don't need 5000 games and about 200 AAA every gen, I won't buy that many games anyway.

Company has been bleeding money for the past 8 years so at this point they can no longer produce those high quality games anymore. Obviously the Vita is a prototypical Sony product, lack of quality first party software with a high emphasis on indie titles. Now PS4 seems to be heading in the same direction, of course it will have the Gods of War and Uncharted and that's about it.

Best to just go with PC at this point if your going to put an emphasis on indie games.

It happens to MS and Nintendo, why are you acting surprised that it's happening to Sony also?

PS4 not only has Uncharted and God of war, they have new IP's Order 1886, Drive Club, Bloorborne, GG RPG, MM next gen play.create.share, Bend Studios Horror, Quantic dreams new IP etc., so many new IPs and loved IP's coming along with Indies. What does PC has? Indies, Multiplatform with high resolution/FPS, F2P titles etc., always without new AAA experiences with single player content which is unique and wont match Sony AAA and uniqueness. Sony may not got big success with some exclusives but stil they risk to make new ones for gamers and they care about them which is a great thing as they dont only target money and they have passion too, so we support Sony.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

why not? theres so much anti-microsoft propaganda on this site :P . I just learn to take everything with a pinch of salt and ignore it until i see it for myself. However i see alot of AAA's coming out this year and next and don't know whether this is referring to the VITA or not.

Nobody said propoganda was false, it just makes one look bad. MS has been the prime source of anti-microsoft "propoganda" the past year.

Ot: This thread is brilliant by the way, excellent representation of the nature of this entire forum.

well sony still has far more AAA in development than ms,.. i suppose that's why almost all of ms's exclusives are paid third parties. with ps4 killing xbox in sales ms won't be able to afford third party exclusives for long so i'm quite comfortable ps4 will have waaaaaaay more AAA than anyone else mid and late gen.
