This comment makes it sound like the 25+ projects in development are strictly first party games. 

Depends when the 25 number was confirmed. If he was referring to the start of the year or now.

For example Returnal just released, if that is included or not included.

let's see. if half are cross-gen, it's good for me. 

Wishful thinking on your part. 

That's insane if that is true. Games like Forspoken, Pragmata, FF16, etc on top of those 25+ projects.

Edit: Most likely true since 25+ projects would be way to low if they counted everything. 

sony doesn't promise three years of cross-gen?

I believe it's all first-party launch in the next three or four years to come. 

7-9 first-party launch/year is a good amount. 

25 simultaneous projects !? Very impressive! I wonder how many "1st party" games (and partnerships with sony as a publisher) will we see in this generation. Given that news, and comments from Jim Ryan about making more exclusive than ever before, I imagine that +30 is almost guaranteed during the generation. It is also worth remembering that Sony has been focusing a lot on AAA games and grandiose productions, so it is reasonable to believe that most of these games will be in this category.

+30 more games published / produced by playstation studios and partners, add "X" Japanese games that "by tradition/historically" will be exclusive to playstation.
Yes, it seems to me that PS5 is going to be extremely rich in exclusives.

Just let it go you don't want to end up bitter and twisted like @BraLoD with his fixation on some old jrpg, besides the time taken to make Omega Boost would mean one less car in GT7 and lead to a bad case of road rage resulting in you being run over, so hopefully you can see that continuing down this path only leads to death or even worse becoming like BraLoD.
