Sony's Exclusive Games Rake in Millions, Exposing Costly Redaction Errors

Analysts estimate that PlayStation exclusives Horizon Forbidden West and The Last of Us 2 have earned profits of approximately $300 million each, despite their development costs exceeding $200 million. These figures do not include marketing expenses, but since both games are Sony's first-party titles, they are not subject to platform holder fees. The high budgets of AAA games have raised concerns within the industry.
