We can all talk about how badly the live service stuff at PlayStation has been. However, I would rather focus on the positives and Sony actually getting back on track with everything. Ultimately, the PS6 is on its way. This year is the start of PlayStation exclusives coming back in a consistent manner. And while we can all have a go at how badly this generation has been handled. It’s been an industry-wide problem.
Sony will get back to its focus of single-player games. Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei will win your hearts again. They’re significant titles for this year. However, I am not going to brush years of work that developers have undertook under the carpet. Sony cannot keep making these mistakes. Not for itself, or for it’s workforce. They also have to realise a strong Nintendo will be coming back also. This year also looks strong for Xbox. Not many people are mentioning that because Sony will probably get more of what they’re cooking anyway.
The PlayStation 6 will be a dawn of seeing returning and beloved franchises return. This has already been hinted at, even though nobody has any real concrete information on the specifics. However, this could be the precursor to really setting that generation alight. Because PlayStation fans are really hoping for the return of Bloodborne and other key franchises, and Sony absolutely has to do something with that. That would give Sony a really significant amount of momentum for that next generation. Especially when Sony will be battling on all fronts in terms of the amount of content that will be significant in what fans want from all platforms.
But yes, PlayStation 6 I think will end up getting things back on track from the errors that’ve been made in the past.
