Uncharted 4 PS4 Exclusives Sony First-Party

Sony, by and large, is starting to turn around its fortunes under the leadership of former PlayStation president Kaz Hirai. While it's still got some way to go, it's a much leaner organisation these days – and it's getting closer and closer to turning a profit. The firm's gaming business was highlighted by the board as a key corporate pillar a few years ago, and that decision is now paying real dividends with the PlayStation 4.

However, speaking as part of an investor day, the manufacturer has acknowledged that first-party titles will be pivotal to its success moving forwards. As part of a presentation, the company highlighted the production and release of more exclusive titles as a means of increasing the average revenue per paying user. While this sounds nefarious, it essentially just wants to sell you more games and content.

While the likes of Bloodborne, The Order: 1886, and MLB 15 The Show contributed to a pretty impressive start to the year for Sony, there is some concern that without Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, the organisation's lineup is going to look weak this holiday. However, even if this commitment isn't exactly confirmation of new games, it shows that the Japanese giant at least understands that exclusives are important.

We guess that it's now down to Shuhei Yoshida and his team to ensure that they get made.
