I don't know. Ask Sony. 15 games would be pretty average in terms of output for them on a single platform. And it sure doesn't appear like there will be a shortage of first party Sony games for the PS4 in the first 12 months. We already know about, what is it? Six so far?
It always seems to me like first party Sony output tends to be overrated because they talk about it so early, and half of it is vaporware.
It seems like Sony has more games because we talk about stuff like Last Guardian for five fricken years on end, and it may not even exist.
A lot of their other stuff they show super early, so you hear about it 3+ years, so it seems like they have more games than they actually do. Because we're talking about their games about to come out and their games 3 years away at the same time, whereas MS we're only talking about their games about to come out.
Last fall MS had Halo 4 and Forza Horizon, Sony had some All Stars clone that sold horrifically. That was a huge first party mismatch, but it wasn't mentioned.
It's not that much and a lot of it looks shovelwarish. Anyway maybe I should have said 1st party support since that's what we were talking about.
I seem to recall PS2 dying pretty fast even against 360. And in that time Sony should have still been full supporting it since it was their only system. The only really big 1st party PS2 game I recall after 360, or maybe it was after PS3, was a God of War.
It's not a knock on Sony, more a commentary on how this industry works, and how quickly old gen is marginalized.
But yeah, EA and the like will keep spitting out 360/PS3 stuff, at least the big games for at least 2-3 years after Xbone/PS4. That's a given, a no brainer. But they do die off surprisingly quickly.
For PS3 they have, Last of US (coming well before next gen anyway), Beyond (is it still PS3?), GT6? And everybody on GAF is whining GT6 shoulda been for PS4 at that.
