No one said it was but attributing it to the PlayStation 5's game count is inaccurate. Aren't you guys all about accuracy?
Do better.

Psychonauts 2 IS on PlayStation 5. Please take the L and go chew on it a little bit, get some perspective.
The game is available everywhere. Sorry.
You really should outgrow the GS System Wars mentality you seem to keep going on here.
Via a PlayStation 4 backward compatibility layer. There is no PlayStation 5 version. This is really simple guys, I'm sure you can figure it out.
Psychonauts 2 is not a PlayStation 5 game.
Just measure it, at this stage.
Psychonauts 2 doesn't have a PS5 native version
Psychonauts 2 is fully playable on PS5 and thus available for said PS5
Most people don't care about Psychonauts 2.
And I really don't care about your factually inaccurate views. Psychonauts 2 isn't on PlayStation 5 just like Halo 5 isn't on Xbox Series X.

It's funny how backwards compatible games suddenly count for a platform they're not on when it's convenient for you people.
Who's "you people"? I own a PC, Switch and PS5, and play on all of them (mostly PC).
And I'll help you:

Of course BC games count. Do you think MS makes this distinction when adding Xbox One games to Gamepass?
we're just going to have start counting madden and FIFA as xbox excxlusives to make this a fair fight, aren't we. these guys are kings of goal-post moving and technicalities.
"But it's a microsoft-published game"
"Who cares that it's a pilot training app, it's still a 90 on metacritic'
"its on PlayStation 4, not Playstation5 so its an xbox exclusive"
I can't keep up anymore.
the cold hard truth: Xbox has no exclusives. none. ziltch. nada. everything's on PC. The console is useless. end of story.

This is so sad dude. The lengths you go to console warring…
The below gif is once again very appropriate:

I think the worse offense Phil has made is the 'ambassador initiative' He literally 'pays' some of the worse shills on the internet to shill for Xbox, and to spread FUD about PlayStation. I say paid as he pays them in Game Pass, which isn't surprising as it seems that's all Xbox is these days.
The thing about Spencer is that while he might have taken over for Xbox in 2014 or whenever, he didn't actually get full reign until 2017. That's when he started to report only to whatever the head guys name is at MS, Nutella. To claim that any time before that, he had any real control over Xbox, just demonstrates an ignorance as to how the corporate world and structure both work. Especially when the OP mentions 2013 and Mattrick. Being a part of a corporate team that makes monumental mistakes doesn't make you complicit or in agreement with all of them. Sometimes you are just in the minority.
What he has done since taking over pretty much speaks for itself. The One X was incredible hardware. The Series X is the most powerful console ever. He's exponentially expanded the portfolio of studios at Xbox. They just happened to have made those acquisitions at unfortunate times. Many of them were already deep in games that were either multiplatform, or had deals to be exclusive. There's simply nothing you can do about that. And then COVID happened. It would be one thing if Sony were knocking it out of the park software wise but they sure as fuck aren't, either. Everyone has been affected.
People give him the benefit of the doubt because he's already turned the brand around and represents great change.

Laughable notion, dude only becomes accountable after he gets a blank check from daddy? That's also a lie, he was reporting directly to Steve Balmer when Don was ousted in 2013.
Head of MS Studios since 2008, VP of Xbox since 2009, top guy at Xbox since 2013. Yet somehow he wasn't responsible for anything. He just didn't have the time... what a complete joke.
So many excuses and such a low bar... If the Series X is the most powerful console ever and such an accomplishment why does it contently performs worse than the $400 PS5 DE? What did the One X delivered other than higher resolution a some third-party games? How is launching a console with first party games acceptable? How is a lineup like the one Xbox had in 2022 acceptable?
Stop making excuses for this guy, stop letting him abuse you, you deserve better.

Never said he wasn't responsible for anything. But you're sadly mistaken on how corporate structure works. Also no one said he wasn't accountable either, but to anyone with common sense, it makes sense why someone like Don Mattrick would take the fall for the Xbox One launch. If Spencer ever did anything that moronic as the person in charge, he'd go down too.
Of course, AFAIK Xbox is now in a great place and Don Mattrick went from sinking the Xbox One to trying his best to sink Zynga before he was quickly fired from there, too.

he's been there forever, since before even 2013. he was head of games during the worst drought the console had ever seen in the early 2010's, during the kinect era. How he's managed to do an even worse job now is nothing short of impressive. Atleast in the kinect era you were still getting decent halo and gears games, and forza hadn't been exhausted into the ground. Oh and Kinect was getting exclusive games.
now? He's launched a console with nothing twice, had PUB-G game preview edition as the sole holiday heavy hitter in 2017, has Pentiment and Grounded as the holiday 2022 headliners, and has managed to scare off all 3rd party exclusives on top of it.
this man has done an absolutely dreadful job in every position he's ever held.

Spencer did much worse, he destroyed the internal development teams at MS over the years, what Don Matrick did is nothing in comparison.
What he really accomplished so far was to convince his boss to give the money for him to build up again what he had destroyed over the years. Giving his inability to manage studios it's very likely that he'll just run it to the ground again. All while he also destroyed their business model on the console space and substituted it by something far less profitable that was easily emulated and outclassed by the competition at a fraction of the cost.
