Sony has always seen their first-party games as a compliment to third-party stuff, not as a competitor, so they don’t crank out games like MS does and never have.I hope the longer dev cycles and these numbers in perspective don't kill Sony allowing their devs The freedom to realize their visions. I can see in the future execs telling devs "listen we need faster output and less ambitious games so focus on getting this done quickly with a smaller budget" blah blah blah. I know it probably won't happen but you never know.
Idk what games Microsoft cranks out since they are in a constant drought and it's never been that way for Sony. Sony has always had more first party games or exclusives and quality on PS consoles excluding publishing and computer games aside. Now of course with the acquisitions that will change but the quality will always be a big question.Sony has always seen their first-party games as a compliment to third-party stuff, not as a competitor, so they don’t crank out games like MS does and never have.
MS paid 7B to buy a publisher who’s games were already in development and took them off PlayStation and padded Xbox weak software output. MS has nothing to do with Bethesda’s games. People need to acting like they do.
PlayStation games and hardware continues to sell millions and they’re the one who needs to do something? Should they be stagnant and do nothing at all? Of course not. You should always prepare for the future. More so with a shitty anti consumer corporation wanting to buy up everything because they have zero creativity and talent. And Sony is doing just that. They already publicly said they plan buy more studios and acquire IP.
Enough with the manufactured fear tactics.
I really dont like counting PC ports but Bungie should be counted for sure.That list is very suspect. Ignoring PC ports and Bungie for Sony but counting everything from Bethesda as "Xbox".
Is this list done by an Xbot to make xbox look bigger?
Man you guys always fall for the bullshit agenda against Sony. The fuck is wrong with y’all.
Hunter is definitely not an Xbot. LolThat list is very suspect. Ignoring PC ports and Bungie for Sony but counting everything from Bethesda as "Xbox".

Games are taking longer to make man. I don’t know when ya’ll are going to understand this. ND, Sucker Punch, Bluepoint, Housemarque, Guerilla, PD, and SSM have all released games within the last 3 years. Let’s also not forget that we just came out of a pandemic. Games that entered development over the past 3 years were affected. Sony always hits their stride when it comes to 1st party later in the gen. People forget that Sony started slow last gen with 1st party.Please dont count PC ports….
Pretty cruddy from Sony TBH. One of those is a Rerelease ( Horizon 2 complete edition ) and one of those games is on a rivals subscription service ( MLB )
Lets hope 2024/2025 isnt like this. Shows how bad this year is because you’d dredd if 2024/2025 is the same. And Yes Spiderman 2 is amazing, but I want more from PS studios
Then what is the point of counting every sku and rerelease for Xbox and adding Bethesda? People are using this list to say Sony is slow and they should buy more studios when they missed Ratchet, Returnal, TLOU and Lightfall.Hunter is definitely not an Xbot. Lol

Again they all did expand and that was noted and mentioned all last gen i even posted old articles about it on another thread. It looks more like upper tier management getting involved in shit they shouldn't and mismanaging.I do understand that. But Sony made a shit ton of money last gen and should of made the teams bigger and expanded into multiple teams per studio. Thats organic growth…
They had money to spend, its not my problem they didnt expand enough. Insomniac has expanded way better under Sony, the same should of been done for the other studios
