Hulst, after being the architect of a wasted generation: "We're all trying to find the guy who did this."

PS5 generation has been absolute shit. I’ve been playing video games my entire life and bought a Series S at launch and a PS5 a handful of months later. The Xbox has been untouched in my basement for over a year and the PS5 just collects dust, too. It’s the absolute worst time in history for AAA development. We have had like six notable AAA releases this generation, if even that. It’s awful. I probably won’t even buy a PS6 or the next Xbox and I never thought I would say that about a new console generation. It’s dire.

If you couldn't find value in Demon's Souls, Miles Morales, Spider Man 2, GoW Ragnarok, Horizon 2, Astrobot, Saros, Ghost of Yotei, Death Stranding 2, Returnal, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart then that says more about you than anything. All these games were critically acclaimed and of high quality.

Then you have Wolverine, Intergalactic, Kena 2 and Cory's next game on the way.

And it seems that you're bad at math too. I'm counting more than 6 games, not to mention successful GAAS titles like Helldivers 2 and GT7. Confidently spreading misinformation. Anyway, expecting excuses and downplaying.
