I had no idea they had a "sad dad image", or that the concept itself even existed. What a weird fixation.

You mean like Horizon, Spider-Man, Gran Turismo etc...

That's a good point. With a few exceptions there games have very little replay value. I found this very noticeable when I tried to replay a chapter in uncharted 4 and just finding it so tedious and dull on a second play through. Although I find bloodborne very replayable. 

Key word is "Most"

Yeah, Ive beaten Bloodborne like 5 times. Amazing game with great replay value. I think that has a lot to do with From Software though. They are masters of replay value.

I don't consider Spiderman as one of Sony's just as I don't think of Goldeneye as being Nintendo's. TLoU/Uncharted/GoW have been huge games for 2 gens now.

The types of games that Nintendo/MS sell 10-20m of don't do the same numbers when Sony makes them. Platformers, arcade racers, fighting games, party games, online shooters, local multi in general.

""The PlayStation 4 was home to some of Sony Interactive Entertainment's finest output yet. Sony is only second to Nintendo in crafting some of the most iconic worlds, characters, stories and gameplay moments in the industry""

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but Sony is not second to Nintendo; actually, I believe Sony have surpassed Nintendo with new IPs and advancement in gameplay mechanics, iconic unique big and interactive worlds, art design, story telling, more credible and advanced AI, etc. Just my point of view.

I don't think you can start out with "I'm sorry to disappoint you" and then end with "just my point of view". The first sentence says that you are right and the other person is wrong while the ending says that it's only an opinion. So which is it?

Also name one recent Sony game with gameplay as unique and original as splatoon. Or with a world as diverse and interactive as hyrule in BOTW. Name a Sony character as iconic as Mario, pikachu, link or even Isabelle. I'll give you storytelling to an extent, personally I don't think Sony use the medium to tell stories that could only be told in gaming. AI I don't think either Nintendo or Sony pushes AI to new levels. Art design is very debatable either way. 

Would Metroid: Other M count as a 'glum mum' game?

TLOU would be the only game to even be about a dad. Uncharted had the protagonist being a dad just at the epilogue and GoW on the last game. And to tell the truth they aren't even sad.

Almost all the IPs on PS4 sold great so you are really wrong on their games not atracting a big audience.

No, there isn't something as defyning genres differently, genres are classifications so they aren't to be individualized. If you want to put TLOU as action adventure instead of surviving horror that is on you or when you don't consider Zelda a RPG. You are torturing definitions to try and make a point to give Nintendo a win.

Yep they never owned but the IPs were created by the studios they bought.

Considering I have platined Uncharted 1 to 3 twice and once for 4 and Lost Legacy (having to play 3 times per plat) I would say I found a lot of replayability.
