2015 was not a good omen for PS4, even though we all cheered up at the start of the PS4. As the "Mysterious Sea 4" jump ticket, it seems that Sony this year lacks a killer general debut ...
The cold warning of Christmas? PS4 's worrying vacuum period will be imminent.
Sony's PlayStation 4 hosts are still on the move, and sales have already surpassed the eighth-generation hosts of the other two rivals, and we have seen the emergence of a good monopoly such as the curse of the blood source. At the same time, however, what we are seeing is that Sony has no plans to issue any first-party games in the next big sale this year. Although it may change in the next few quarters of the year, the only difficult Christmas we can expect at the moment seems to be waiting for Sony.
Of course, as long as the holidays come, Sony will certainly have new games for the players to choose from, and there will be a number of first-party works to be introduced. However, "Mysterious sea 4" this vote jumped to 2016, how many people feel PS4 seems to have lost a pillar.
currently has the PS4 "Kill strain", "the Town of Fanaticism" (Everybody's Gone to the Rapture), "Son of Tomorrow" (Tomorrow's Children), "alienation" A host of independent games will be available for sale within the year (although there are no specific dates yet), but if they cannot make up for the absence of the 4, it is likely to end up being beaten by Microsoft Halo 5. The horror game "Until Dawn" (loop Dawn) should be available for Halloween. This period should also have a lot of inevitable high-definition sedan/retro version of the game appears, but now it seems difficult to come up with the Sony camp can be positive and "Halo 5" A comparison of the works.

Halo 5 May be the first time Microsoft has borrowed from Sony in the vacuum period
due to the lack of sufficient number one works this year will be a change to PS4 and Xbox One between the two sides of the fire turning point. Now most of the players who buy PS4 are waiting for the future to be born, and the Xbox One has "Halo 5" ready to go, then perhaps the advantage will be to a certain extent to the Microsoft side. For the time being, the Japanese manufacturers do not have much to count on, conclusive work to prepare for the holiday season (not without, but not much).
At this year's E3 game show, Sony should announce some of the first parties to the Christmas PS4, but is the fact that time is enough? Guerrilla Games (The killing zone) is currently busy with new IP creations, and Sony San Monica is also doing a new God of war, while Polyphony digitial (GT 7), Quantic Dream (torrential rain, extraordinary twins), and media Studios such as molecule (tiny big planet) are making unpublished new projects in muffled sound. The fact that most Japanese manufacturers are still making two copies of a game, coupled with a gap in the release date, makes it very difficult to provide sufficient assurance for overseas markets. According to past experience, the work of these studios is unlikely to be announced hastily in E3 and sold within 2015 years. Even though it has been developed and ready for sale for Christmas, we hope to have a few months of E3 to ChristmasSomething to play with-especially some new games that are not renewed.
Let's use the "1886" product timeline for an example: The game was announced on the E3 in 2013, and even without the jump ticket to 2015, it should normally be sold by the end of 2014-that is, it will take more than a year to reach the player's hands. With this experience as a standard estimate, the new "Ares" or guerrilla will seem to be the same rhythm.

Sony's first studios are busy, but when it's going to blossom is an unknown
Although some might say "Little Big Planet 3" E3 announced last year and sold in November of the same year, but I feel this is a relatively rare situation. Media molecule transferred part of the work to the completion of outsourcing to catch up to the end of the year. Although, we only know that the current Sony first party studios are busy non-stop, and we're going to bombard our wallets with a barrage of work, but I don't know if there will be any more gaming companies this year, and there's already something like the Little Big Planet 3 that can be labeled and sold.
Even with the vacuum of the "Mystery Sea 4" Jump ticket, I don't think Sony will be able to fill it up with some PS4 in advance. In this day and age, skipping tickets is a common thing for any developer, because they need more money and time to complete development without exception, and the work of rushing works often causes catastrophic problems in the marketplace. For example, when the driving club is on sale, we see a lot of problems with the game and seriously affect the results of the player experience.
Perhaps the only thing that can be used as a lifeline at this time is the last Guardian. But because of the game's history, uncle and Sony's senior officials are not too complacent.

"No one deep empty" will certainly give PS4 a dose of strong heart needle, but can bring the absolute advantage for PS4?
There is also the possibility that Sony will introduce some limited-time exclusive third-party work during the recent holiday season. Hello Games's "Nobody Deep Space" (No Man Sky) has been in line with this situation, but the 2015 has seen the past quarter, the game's release date is still unknown. It is hoped that Sony can adjust its strategy in time, arrange a proper release date and buy some time for PS4 follow-up.
Sony could also try to launch Morpheus at Christmas, but with the market still ambivalent about VR, it is unlikely that Sony or any of the rest of the family's VR devices will be a hot Christmas. While everyone is vying for the opportunity for VR, no one has made substantial progress
E3 we have only 2 months to go, Sony's current situation does not look very good, but this is not insurmountable difficulties. "No One Deep space" is likely to be a savior or rescue, but also to leave a point of hope to the "last Guardian" is not yet a shadow, now the main problem for Sony is that they do not have many cards.
Last Christmas, although Sony had "driving club" and "Little Big Planet 3", but did not cause bombing or slam effect. Such regrets may not be a shadow over PS4 's current brilliance, but if you were the top of Sony, would you want to cede a great opportunity to Halo 5 and other third parties for the rest of the holidays? Besides the NX, Nintendo should be secretly planning something ...
PS4 this year's pressure is concentrated on the E3 and TGS, the future of the host market will become very interesting, because this may be PS4 encounter the first cold Christmas.
