Naughty Dog 'just short' of having two big productions going at once

Despite its 300-developer workforce, Naughty Dog still isn't ready to take on two big production cycles at one time. Modern Naughty Dog games are high-budget marquee games that have the power to sell systems. Uncharted 3, Uncharted 4, and The Last of Us' I & II were all major staples for PlayStation owners across multiple generations. These games deliver over-the-top visuals and immersive realism, but the trade-off is a slower production cycle where one game dominates all others.
