A lot of gamers last gen were fed up because they were treated second class citizens by publishers who wanted that xbox 360 share by going with their hardcore audience: the shooters which basically destroyed the homeostasis  in gaming industry.

Now that Sony has control of the marketshare the previous IPs that were left out because PS3 didn't started hot are coming back to PS4.Something Nintendo was unable to do even with the faraway share of Wii. Something Xbox 360 failed so hard in Japan and worldwide outside of USA.

Sony knows it. We know it. The feel of the PS2 era where it doesn't matter if it's AAA or high budget or casual cause who cares as long as you enjoy it.

This is just a symbol that in order for all gamers to win, Sony has to win because the legacy of their dominant eras outweighs all the negative aspects of the last generation.

They also did this last gen when they weren't dominating. What's your point?

Its allways good if we have one dominating so hard especially if its just a WORLDWIDE Brand as Playstation

J-RPGs are coming back in masses to the big TV
Not so mainstream titles left and right
SquareEnix stopped going after the Call of Duty crowd

I mean come on
If you love gaming you love Playstation
Its only sad Nintendo is screwing up so hard

What i love
Tons of different Games from all kinds of genres and budgets for all kinds of gamers over the whole world
This is why Playstation is slaughtering the Xbox so hard
They play the worldwide game and accept every person has different needs

Its no coincidence with Sony back on top we are seeing the flood gates being opened on genres other than FPS. (or military shooters in general).

It's not my responsibility to prove your accusations.

Huh? There was always variety around in every generation. It's not like they went away and are suddenly coming back...

People will see what they want to see. There was plenty of variety last gen too if you looked, but now the indie boom has thrown a lot more of them into public view and publishers have realised people are getting bored of what they were putting out. Would have happened regardless of sonys dominance or not.

Hmm their was a lot of variety last gen on X360 especially at the beginning and same with Xone DR3/Sunset/Crimson Dragon/D4 etc..

I miss platformers though :s

It will depend on the market though, but the fan fact is even if SONY loosing they still bring variety on games. Maybe you were right is some statement, it will help Japanese and indie games for sure.

Then why are a lot of devs got fearful doing something different last gen? They know Playstation has the best audience for all genres but without the marketshare it had during PS1/PS2, they couldn't count on it to bring profits. Most probably, lots of devs were making games based on the common denominator on 360 which is the shooter/open world action types audience. The only thing it did was hurt the industry with lots of smaller studios closing down chasing that AAA dream when they could still make money on niche titles not needing that much bombast anyway.
