Sony is going in the opposite direction ( single player, story based games with rich content).

Their logic is quite flawless:

Online games depend on a large userbase to be successful, which forces them (or at least greatly pressures them) to be multiplatform. That's a bad direction to move towards if your business is selling a console and its walled garden - so they are pushing for content that is more compatible with console exclusives, ie. single player games.

I hope they develop more splitscreen games! That's really the main edge to consoles for me.

In an alternate reality, 3D TV really took off and split screen was replaced by polarized-screen. Wouldn't that have been neat?

Wow super neat, you reminded me of a family member who has a 3D TV!

And with modification this technique also works with laptops and colorized glasses!

gaming intensifies
