It does not help that Sony moved their PlayStation office to California and you had Jim Ryan a saxon who won the power struggle for the CEO who is clueless and basically let go most of the precious Playstation studio they had which was Japan Studio that literally supported AA, 3rd party development while also at the same time made games. Heavily involved with Ape Escape, Ico, And yes even Shadow Of The Collusus. By basically telling them that they could either work for Asobi Team or they can take the pink slip and go home. Most of the talent just has decided to move on to Monolithsoft for Nintendo which has become Playstations version of Japan Studio with 3rd party development, making games, and also support.

If there is anything really telling for this current generation and the succcesses of the Xbox, PlayStation 2, and Gamceube Generation vs the current one it is that there is a huge lack of AA games, experimental games and truly a lack of interesting ones. There is no real cheat codes, there is no such thing as secrets, or hidden characters, not even just cool beta stuff hidden in the background. A lot of gaming nowadays is just Movie Blockbusters when in the past it was every 2 years or so you would get a few huge ones and then have it stuffed with AA, 3rd party games to keep people waiting. Everything is so reversed from what it use to be and it's just harrowing.
