I thinlk thats not a fair comparison, they are different types of games.
Why hasn’t Sony been able to create anything approaching the quality of a Zelda?

on PS + Premium.Isn’t Dark Cloud on there?
Pretty sure I noticed it and Dark Chronicle/Dark Cloud 2.
I’m in the UK so maybe we got it first.
Nice, need to check when I get back, been out of the house for midsummer so haven't seen what's on offer.

Just checked on the PS App. Dark Cloud and Dark Chronicle/Dark Cloud 2 are available in the Classics catalogue.
Yes, it's already there. Jim Ryan likes to please all his children
The best selling Zeldas are:
- Breath of the Wild (Switch + WiiU) : 28.2M
- Ocarina (including Ocarina 3D): 13.9M
- Link's Awakening (including DX and Switch remake): 11.5M
- Twilight Princess (including HD): 10M
- Skyward Sword (including HD): 7.6M
- A Link to the Past (including Four Swords: 7.4M
So relax your tits, Zelda isn't that special or big. In fact, none of these games or any Sony games were designed as Zelda killers, they were their own thing instead and did that numbers being new IPs and not having a fanbase nurtured during 40 years. They don't give a fuck about Nintendo or Zelda, they are super successful doing their own things (like Spider-Man, Uncharted, TLOU or GT).
Bullshit, to sell over 20M million copies and get a 89 Metacritic with a new IP is a super success. Specially when unlike in Switch or WiiU in PS4 and PC there is a huge competition with a ton more of huge super seller 3rd party AAA games. And not only in the whole life in the system: with the releases of every year.

I will not argue about Sony not being able to do anything like a Zelda.
That being said, I think that Zelda peaked with OOT on the n64... This is when I mostly moved to Sony consoles and PC (i kept getting Nintendo consoles until the Wii, got all "zeldas" until then.
These games are just not for me, so I would not want Sony to go down that road.

Nintendo is my favorite gaming company, and switch is my favorite current console. Interesting response though.
Then why are we having this discussion at all, how many SONY games are CLOSER to Zelda than God of War 2018 was?
Probably HFW, but even that is not that close to Zelda.
There is a fundamental game creation difference between Sony today, and Nintendo. Nintendo has often historically put story on the backburner for gameplay, while Sony does the opposite with their cinematic games.

So you saying this means you would rather have good gameplay than a good story?
Gameplay is always great when its good, but a good story can carry or make a game flop.
Sony have done a good job with both imo, but its always in the eye of the beholder.
Twilight Princess is the only good Zelda game, every other game is average at best but Nintendo fan base are mostly kids so they buy anything, just look at trash like Animal crossing and how much it's selling, i wouldn't touch that "game" for free
and BoTW is overrated trash that got a high score because Nintendo gets special treatment, and breakable weapons? get da fuck outta here

Sales shows the opposite lol
In any case Sony's gameplay is top notch... TLOU for example is for some the best 3D Person gameplay of the market.
And being honest... I'm playing GoW right now and the gameplay is something sublime.
sony did this maybe before, but not any more. i don't how many years sony already producing top notch gameplay in their blockbuster games.
producing values and quality of games is second to non in this gaming market. very very few could get close.
Is this a troll? Like you can’t be serious. Sony has put out the best exclusives every single generation.
