In a "real world" conversation, they absolutely would. There isn't much reason to release an exclusive multi-player shooter right now. That base is totally covered by third parties, which should be included in corporate strategy. Why even try to compete with CoD, for example, when you've paid them for marketing rights? The OP's argument seems to be that he'd have nothing to play on PS4, which is kind of silly. However, I guess we're not really dealing with "real world".

I've noticed this one myself.
God of War in particular really, really gave me The Last of Us vibes with the relationship between Joel (Kratos) and Ellie (Kid).

Who isn't guilty of that? Microsoft loves space marines to death and if you took a random background screenshot of most Nintendo games without the main character in them, only a Nintendo fan could tell you which game they were looking at.
Still, I'm not going to trust anyone who tells me Zero Dawn looks like Days Gone or GoW just because it has a forest setting, and I'm going to outright laugh at anyone who suggests a game that's been in development for five years copied TLOU.
