Sony is very competitive in terms of first-party games, multiplayer shooters are maybe a special case. For single player story-heavy games Sony studies are probably the largest developers and publisher.
Multiplayer games compete more directly, and you need to get a large enough playerbase to make them attractive. Which puts large, established franchises in a much better position than new and unknown ones.
