WHO can release a console today and have it have a first party title that is so big, and so universal, it will sell systems?  Nintendo gets away with doing this, because it the only console maker left with ties to the arcades, and was first to the market after the crash.  With Atari and Sega gone, there isn't any others left.  Sony is a late comer, as is Microsoft.  Microsoft has Master Chief, and that is about it.  Sony does have Gran Turismo, which is the flagship driving sime title on consoles.  All the others are third party stuff.

And that is why you don't have something that is a huge system selling exclusives from Sony or Microsoft.

err you know there is a new Ape Escape out this month.

The PS4 is more doomed than Wii U confirmedz?

Some prominent game developer (I can't remember who) said that it's best to release brand new IP's at the start of a generation (Assassins Creed, Mass Effect, etc.). Maybe that's the route that Sony will take. Aside from that, all I can say is that this is an interesting thread.
