That wasn't my intention. I think sales matter. SO is a perfect example for that. MS - and please correct me if you think otherwise - hasn't shown any interest in giving IPs a second chance which by all metrics failed sales-wise. It is sheer irony that MS cannot be bothered to announce a sequel of one of their most critically acclaimed titles this generation - and PS4 players get Knack 2.
Concerning their 2014 show, it was solid and yes, it's concerning that some games have been cancelled since then. But that wouldn't actually matter that much if MS had used the latest E3 shows to introduce proper replacements, besides the obvious trifecta IPs.
I don't think it's irony what you are stating about the lack of a sequel - for better or worse - it's their new seemingly risk-adverse strategy for first party games. Worse for gamers, but it is what it is right now. As a gamer, ESP a primarily SP gamer, I appreciate that Sony has a different path
And if you want to take sales into consideration. Cool. I just disagree. When I grade these conferences I'm going more for quality than how much it sold.
For something you may or may not relate to, I enjoyed The Last Guardian and don't really care that it wasn't a blockbuster seller.
Initially you said 10+, what are the other 9+?Canned in development or never greenlite, There's a good majority of titles that were cancelled completely. Sabreman Stampede comes to mind.
I truly don't know - enlighten me
