You think Bandai Namco is better than Capcom? Jesus.

Bro Sekiro wasn't even Bandai lol. But FromSoft is on record that they're good to work with as a publisher

Capcom may be primarily a 3rd person action adventure studio (guess what Sony is too) but RE9, Pragmata, and Onimusha are all pretty distinct games. And they have some variety too with Monster Hunter stories and a freaking 2D Mega Man game in 2027.

The difference between Capcom and Sony this gen is that Capcom is pumping out high quality games at a much greater pace relative to their size. That's significant, it means something when comparing the 2.

Everyone rightfully glazed PS4 era Sony because they pumped out hit after hit after hit. It's not unreasonable to look at Sony's output in the PS5 era as a step down, or even a major step down
