Sony Cancels a Secret AAA PS4 Exclusive. More PC Games Coming to PS4. [LTPS #89]
PS4 was going to get a new exclusive from God of War developer, Sony Santa Monica, but that is not the case anymore. It's been a pretty depressing news week as jobs are cut not only from Sony Santa Monica, but also 20 Sony retail stores. In more up lifting news Sony sees strong hardware sales in Japan, and even more developer interest from PC developers.
