But that's the tip of the iceberg. If you examine PlayStation's dominance this generation, most will tell you it was driven by Sony's dedication to nurturing platform exclusives, almost all of which were single-player: The Last Of Us, Uncharted, Horizon Zero Dawn, and The Last Guardian are unarguable. You might quibble with the inclusion of Detroit: Become Human in that list, but it's a unique experience that has as many boosters as it does critics.
