Sony: first party lineup is sparse this year, focusing on 3rd party support

"We are working very hard to continue very strong support from third-party pubs and devs," House said. "Our first-party lineup is a little sparse this year, so I think this places even greater emphasis on getting good third-party support."

That doesn't necessarily mean exclusive third-party support. To date, House said Sony has been primarily trying to get multiplatform developers to simply take advantage of features the PS4 has over the competition, like SharePlay, or maybe include extra content in the PS4 version or give players early access to add-on content. Third-party exclusives are still an option, just not a frequently used one.

"I will admit that these are, in the current publishing landscape, few and far between, but we were able to announce a full exclusive around a franchise like Street Fighter so that Street Fighter 5 is a complete exclusive for PlayStation 4," House said, adding, "Although given publishing dynamics and development costs, those are increasingly difficult to secure."

Interesting to see, but it's not surprising considering they were sparse with the 3rd party support for the PS3 (and for good reason.)

Kind of worried if Until Dawn and the Tearaway/GoW3 remasters is all they have left for this year.

I'm tempted more and more to get an Xbox One due to lack of Sony exclusives, while Phil and Microsoft prepares to bombard this E3 with first party exclusives.

Everything released on ps4 is a exclusive to me. Don't give a fukk who develops it, just release a good, finished product

So no 2015 surprises for E3...

*prepares to buy an Xbox One for Christmas*

Either way the xb1 exclusive line up this year is shaping up to be greater than the ps4's but dont worry uncharted is coming

True. Plus, ain't like the follow up early year ain't dropping heat. Persona 5 might even get released by year's end as well. SFV, Ratchet & Clank reboot and Uncharted 4 right around that new year corner and plenty of dope multi-plats dropping this year, along what has already released so far this year, so I'm good.
