I mean, that’s fine. That’s your interpretation of it, which is my entire point.
No, it is not a “you see it one way and I see it another way, they are all the same”. It is closer to Flat Earth interpretation of facts (“Sony lied lol, we believe in generations was a lie lol lol”) vs Earth is a curved object some approximate as spherical with margins of errors level takes of the same data.
And who cares if Covid happened, that doesn’t make it less of lie for people who bought the system based on false advertising.
Yes it does (even leaving alone what the word “lie” means which would be pertinent here), because they, going back to the same point, never promised ALL their software was going to be PS5 exclusive nor they promised GT was NOT going to support the PS4 and again this quote is about the existence of exclusive software and what defines a new generation of HW. You know this too, so please stop trying to twist reality and just say “I hate that they made games anchored to the PS4 at all”. We can agree with that…
Taking a topic which has been debated to death and is pretty much settled many times over is not the way to do this.
If you read this at a time where MS has said that their strategy going forward is to have cross-gen titles for the first year of their system:
, see a trailer for GT7 that says “Ps5 exclusive”, and go on to think they weren’t spewing PR b/s in your face, then more power to you.
How does any of that have anything to do with that interview and what was said and Sony’s stance on generations?
The outrage happened for a reason, and it’s because people didn’t interpret it the way you are. Which in itself is proof of it not being very clear, not to mention us having this conversation right now.
No, it is proof of some people astroturfing for console warring reasons, some people not being able to read properly, and some people finding conspiracy theories where there are none (like DF’s Battaglia constantly harping on PS5 not having true HW RT like XSX because of the way he chose to interpret what Sony was plainly saying, a bit like you are doing here sorry to say).
Anyway, I don’t think we’ll reach a consensus here.
I guess not

. Still, it is worth bringing it up when this quote is stretched and misrepresented instead of making the valid point you could be making and we would agree on.
Sony’s first party studios’ main job should be be proving a new generation viable for third party’s and ease the transition. If they can also make cross-gen games to make more money power to them, but they should have made more PS5 exclusives. We actually agree on the core issue for the most part, but not how you drive the point sorry.
