Forza Horizon 5: 53 GOTY awards, IGN Game of the year Winner 2021
Halo Infinite: 30 GOTY Awards, Game Informer GOTY winner
Psychonauts 2: 24 GOTY awards
All 3 won more than any Insomniac game ever in history
More importantly Sony games usually don't sell well or make a lot of money which is why Sony ends up bundling them.
Yoshida himself said on Kinda Funny that players need to buy and support remasters to fund new AAA games.....why is it only Sony needs you to buy remasters? I've never seen Nintendo, Microsoft, EA, Capcom or anyone say they rely on remasters selling to fund new games. Also if Sony games were lucrative, they wouldn't be chasing live service games and blowing $4B on Bungie and $400M on Concord (which Hermen Hulst himself wanted to be Sony's Star Wars/Marvel)
A game like Stardew Valley isn't a GOTY winner, was made by 2 people and sold over 41M copies, Sony would cream their pants (or any publisher for that matter) for a game like that, or Valheim which was made by 15 people selling 15M copies.
....Stalker 2 in its first week sold over 1M copies yet it took Astro Bot 3 months to sell 1.5M, GOTY doesn't mean much when no one is interested in the game. Meanwhile Obsidian made Grounded with 10 people and that game has been on Steams best sellers list every year since 2020 (Horizon Zero Dawn ranked lower than Grounded and Sony stated it sold 3M copies on Steam)
Was Death Stranding the best Kojima ever made? Not even close, But its a new franchise (just like Avowed/Starfield) are
Also did Visual Arts Group or any of these "support" groups help with Helldivers 2 or Returnal? I checked the Returnal credits and there was a little bit of involvement from Sony but nothing massive like engine optimization and more "consulting" according to the credits, and according to HD2 credits, Visual Arts and xDev had no involvement and Sony involvement was all based on marketing and logistics
