I might have missed more here. I didn't even include a single playstation move game or a single shitty game . could have doubled this list.
its not even close. its like less than half the ps3 exclusives. And I didn't mention shitty games like knack 1 and 2.
thank jesus I sold my ps4 not that long ago. its gonna take two generations to get a full gen lineup for exclusives. because they are unwilling to invest money in more studios or 3rd party exclusives like they used to. just riding the PS+ money like microsoft did with the 360.
idc if games take longer to make. get more studios, you are making more money than ever.
In fact games do take longer to make. Assets need to be higher resolution, the maps have to have more geometry and be bigger... hardware resources must be put to good use, and that costs more than previous gen.
Apart from thatm Sony closed some studios, Driveclub could had a sequel, but we got the fkn Onrush.
We could have another Wipeout. Even a Bloodborne sequel too. Maybe Uncharted 5 or TLOU2 in time...
This gen have had some troubles, that's right. But even with that, I dont think it's fair to judge it only from first party ammount.
PS4 still have a pretty big catalog of games to enjoy, and for that it sold what it sold.
I would buy my console for the games it have, and not just for the exclusives it have compared to previous gen. I mean. What kind of reasoning is that?
