Forums - Sony Discussion - Does sony have a franchise that will sell the PS4 out of the gate

It's not just about franchises, it's also about the first party studios. Naughty Dog, Guerilla Games, Santa Monica, Media Molecule, Sucker Punch, etc. All those studios can easily bring out huge games for the PS4. I definitely believe that Killzone 4 will be saved for the PS4 and Guerilla Games already confirmed that they are also working on a new IP. Naughty Dog is also most likely working on a new game since they have 2 teams and one is doing the Last of Us. Santa Monica already confirmed that Stig Asmussen is working on a new game. Sucker Punch has been quiet ever since the launch of inFamous 2 and they have already shown a picture of the team in a meeting possibly giving ideas on a new IP/inFamous 3. I mean the list goes on and on, Media Molecule is doing another game after tearaway. Sony will have a game that will please different type of gamers and that's what will sell the next gen PlayStation.

Lol yes, Sony has ALoT more franchises then ms on the Xbox gt alone is bigger then halo so of GT6 is a launch title Europe is songs. Along with Uncharted. I'm 1 year uncharted 3 is almost at 5mil. By the end of 2013 it could be looking at 7mil. A lot of people with want uncharted 4. Plus depending on how Sony market Killzone 4 it could be huge as a launch game. God of war obviously and a new LBP will be big.

Gran Turismo is Sony's one large mass-appeal franchise. It doesn't have the draw of Halo, and is nowhere near the level of Mario Kart and New Super Mario Bros. So no, Sony doesn't have 1st party software that is at the level of its competitors. In an increasingly multiplatform world this will be a challenge difficult to overcome.

Doesn't have the draw of Halo? GT5 just hit the 9m shipped mark and GT Prologue is around the 5m. What are you talking about?

Everybody wants to predict how well the PS4/ NeXbox and the WiiU will sell, however people has left out important info on why they think each will sell well.  So here is my question, what does Sony have that will make the PS4 sell well.  Microsoft has Halo and Gears which are both system sellers to a mass amount of people and on top of that the XBOX brand is higher than ever in America, as well as Nintendo having Mario, DK, Zelda, and this list never ends.  Sony has a ton of franchises but does any of them really have that mass appeal that people will just blindly go in and buy the system right off of the bat for a high price?  The two biggest franchises that they have is Uncharted ,God of War, and Gran Turismo, but are they big enough?  

Explain your answers and try not argueing.


LMFAO


Serious question.  Uncharted and God of War are both possibly ending and neither one are 10 million + sellers.  Which leaves it up to gran turismo.

i wasnt laughing at the suggesting that the IPs are system sellers or not. i was laughing that you said the TWO biggest franchises... etc etc and then said three franchises :P

Oh lol I fixed it haha  I originally forgot to put Gran Turismo so  I mustve forgot to change two to three.

lool yea i noticed now but i just couldnt resiste pointing that out :D

And Halo 3 12m, Halo 4 likely 4m already, Halor reach is at what 10m? Combat Evolved 2-3m? Halo Wars is even a multi million seller if I'm correct.  Then Odst with 5m+.  i'm not looking at the numbers so don't quote me on any of this but yes Halo has been bigger than GT this gen and at this rate will catch up to GT in franchise sells.  Not taking anything away fromGT, just saying.

Umm Uncharted alone is on pace to be a huge franchise, God of war, Gran turismo already is, and so is metal gear solid. Sony has more top selling franchises then xbox.

its not 1 franchise that sells a system however, its a combination of games, and sony has that in spades.

Halo 3 has been out years longer and more game does not equal better. GT5 alone is well on pace t surpass 10 million, its as big as halo, and sony has a lot more chises that sell 2-5 million then xbox, that all adss up.
