In 2001, Sony acquired video game studio Naughty Dog, which would go on to produce some of the most popular and critically acclaimed video games of the last two decades. The Uncharted series, which began in 2007 with Drake's Fortune, has spawned four main games, a handful of spinoff entries, and a big budget movie staring Mark Wahlberg. The Last of Us and its 2020 sequel rank among the most acclaimed video games in history; next year, a big-budget, prestige TV adaptation of the first game will air on HBO.
Both game franchises are and have always been what the gaming industry refers to as "console exclusives," meaning only one line of video game consoles supports them—the Playstation, which is, like Naughty Dog, also owned by Sony.
