Did the OP say there are few exceptions? Wait for it... yes he did.

When you make very few games there are no "few exceptions".  

Few? LOL. Gears, ReCore, Quantum Break, FH3, all first party.

Did I just stumble into an alternate reality where Quantum Break doesn't exist?

Yeah and apparently you also stumbled into an alternate reality where Bloodborne,Ratchet and Clank,Little Big Planet,The Last Guardian,Dragon Quest Heroes, Ni no Kuni and many more don't exist

I liked it when Sony made Medieval, Crash, Twisted Metal,Ect. However, now it seems more and more their games are going to the story route and cinematic experiences. Even GOW looks like cinematic experience now which frustrates me.

Uncharted 4 has more "gameplay" than something like gears..... at the very least uncharted has platforming and puzzles.

But that aside while I agree that sony has a lot of "cinematic" games, I don't understand how gams like Infamous, driveclub, bloodborne, killzone, horizon, uncharted, GTS, wipeout, days gone, GoW....etc all fall under that category, 

I feel that if you want to see it, you can just as easily list out a large number of gameplay focused games from sony; because sony also ensures that those games are packaged with great cinematography/story and that sony also has titles that are story heavy isn't a bad thing.

Itslike take the new zelda for instance, Its gonan probably have a more fleshed out story than any zelda game before it. Does that now make it a story heavy cinematic game?

Anyways, to each their own.... I just don't feel the claim you are making is valid. 

A lot of uncharted 4 scenes are scripted heavly. I felt a lot of the platforming and climbing segments you couldn't fail unless you purposly try. There is a video that I will try to find where basically the person compared it to a walking simulator, minus the walking. Also, I forgot to mention, but I'm talking out this generation specifically. I assume the wii u is like this. Got a wii u for free, but didn't touch it much. I stated before on the forums I liked the ps3 a lot because there was quite a few games that aimed at gameplay first mentality. Not too much this generation and the ones that do exsist aren't very good in my opinion (Bloodborne was awesome however).

I see it more like:

Nintendo: Video games are a fun toy for the whole family.
Microsoft: Video games are a cool toy for young adults.
Sony: Video games are an art form for a variety of tastes.

I wouldn't really phrase it like that, but we've long since reached a point where, when I see a lot of Sony's first party games revealed at E3 or somewhere, I feel like I've already seen it before. Uncharted looks like Last of Us looks Infamous looks like the new God of War in the long, drawn out, masturbatorily cinematic sections they tend to like to show at those things.

I'm not sure that would really hold up if you compared the entire first party line ups, but it's definitely something that occurred to me.

MS only has Halo, Forza, and Gears.

Off the top of my head it seems like Uncharted has had very little real platforming. Holding the stick toward the next ledge and pushing a button to move to it is really just a more complicated version of walking.

It's pretty obvious what he's doing.  He's cherry-picking examples that only benefit his agenda and ignoring that Sony has plenty of both types while Microsoft lags behind in total games.  Is Resogun cinematic?  Is Driveclub cinematic?  His argument is poor.

Uncharted 2 had a lot of gameplay, but Uncharted 4 not too imo. A lot of scripted events and not a whole lot of shooting sections.
