Now you are talking out your ass. Regardless of some of the issues Returnal had it was many peoples GOTY. Just like Forza is for a lot of people. Sony had a lot of things get pushed into next year. But you are forgetting they make MLB the show. So regardless of what you think of their first party Sony put out minus Directors cuts of games, Ratchet, returnal, MLB, Desturction All stars.
And although it pales compared to 2020, still goes to show you Playstations consistency. ANd honestly next year is going to be insane for them, I can't say the same for MS in 2022. God of war, Forbidden west alone will be what everyone for a while will be talking about.
Not to mention gran turismo, which I think in terms of player base pales compared to Forza, but its another well made solid title that adds value to them as a publisher. MLB the show, GT7, GOW, Horizon:FW, and other published games will make next year a great one for SOny.
Everyone has their year, 2021 is definitely MS's.
