No disrespect but I think people need a bit of a reality check when it comes to PlayStation IP.
Spider-Man and God of War are top tier quality and deserve praise. They are very popular however … beyond those two games, things drop off fast.
-Ratchet was pushed very hard by Grubb and others as a must buy and to be honest it wasn’t even good enough to make my top ten list for the year. Ratchet has never been a very likable character and the PS5 game was over hyped.
- Horizon Forbidden West was the sequel that no one was asking for. The first game was fun and unique but by the end of it I had had my fill of sneaking around hunting mechanical dinosaurs.
-Gran Turismo is okay but once you compare it to Forza Horizon or what we all expect to be a current gen showcase title from Forza Motorsport, I would say Gran Turismo is a decade behind the competition.
-Ghosts of Tsushima is just like Horizon Forbidden West in that it is another unnecessary sequel. Seriously when you make a Ubisoft clone game you need to ask yourself why Assassins Creed changes the characters and settings every game. Ubisoft > ghosts of Tsushima.

Last of Us remake and Last of Us remaster and Last of Us 2: online… give me a break. This will bomb hard. No one cares anymore.

Spider-Man … again Spider-Man is great and popular but he needs to leave New York. This map has been beaten to death already and it’s only been two and a half games.
Look these are some harsh truths. People can try to deny that these problems exist but I am willing to bet that waning sales will reflect that I am correct in the end. PlayStation has a serious problem with sequels, remakes, and lack of excitement this generation.
