Nearly all of Sony’s biggest AAA games started in the PS4 generation less than a decade ago

I'm sad they shuttered Japan studios

'Most publishers are riding the success of franchises created 10+ years ago'

Keyword is "Most".

Is it most? It’d at the very least be close

Its mixed, naughty dog tends to have new, while technically speaking, God of War and Spiderman is considered old IP in the case for Sony.

The statement is nostly true for Nintendo, as the only new IP for Nintendo that went anywhere was Splatoon, and Ring Fit to some extent. While ips like Arms, Boxboy, Astral Chain, Ever Oasis, Sushi Striker fell out of relevance.

Making a new IP tends to end up in failure.
