Smarten up Fat... I'm not implying that they all are exclusives. What I'm saying is that they have a model set to own and maintain all these studios with the plan to sell like they did with ps2 and ps3. So when they have these big budget games that don't sell as well because they don't control as much as the market their stock prices fall. Meanwhile Microsoft pays for exclusives. The difference is that they pay for the game... Sony pays for everything. If Uncharted 4 fails then its a Naughty Dog/ Sony Problem. If Titanfall fails then its a Titafall problem. Microsoft isn't closing any studios. Its simple baby. Take an Econ class.

"they don't control as much of the market.." What market is that?? I'm sure it's been shown that PS3's market share is basically the same as 360's as of now. You're looking at this from last gen's perspective solely for the US. Right now what's the situation like?? PS4 outselling xb1 right?? Killzone SF sold 1 million worldwide already and look at the install base for PS4??

You're focused solely on short run sales and not longetivity. A game may not sell 7 milllion in one month like Halo but if it still reaches that number in a year or so does it matter??
Especially so if the game's budget wasn't even that high. Again you're saying sony closed studios due to failing big budget games. How many
big budget studios have sony closed?? Liverpool??
Has Naughty dog closed down?? Has any ND game failed on playstation?? Has Sucker Punch closed down?? Has Guerilla games shut down?
Unless we have hard concrete numbers here it's all a guessing game.
Oh and I played GTA V so I know economy bro.
