I know this is PR from Microsoft, but my hat is off to SONY for their 1st/2nd party efforts.
They've had strong platformers in the form of Jak, Sly, & Ratchet, and the only one they have exploited is Ratchet thus far. No matter what anyone says, I've always felt that Siren was a survival horror diamond in the ruff. And I was never a Tomb Raider fan, but it seems SONY has reinvented the game in the form of Uncharted which I've really enjoyed. You also have your RPG gems like Rouge Galaxy and Dark Cloud 2 on the PS2 in which Level 5 is at work with White Knight Chronicles for the PS3. And then you have genres that SONY are trying to concentrate on in which they were lacking in the past such as FPS with Killzone 2 ad the Resistance franchise. And like the PS2, SONY is pushing different ideas and IP's. Back during the PS2 days, you had games like Mark of the Kri, Primal, and Ico. They are doing the same with Folklore, Heavy Rain, and Infamous. And that's not mentioning them promoting successful established framchises such as God of War and Gran Turismo.
Aside from pushing what's popular, SONY is willing to take chances on games that will appeal to a smaller group of individuals. And as a gamer, there are potentially plenty of gems if you'll just look for them amongst the hype of the "big name" franchises.
Microsoft, you've had some nice games to come down the pipeline, and there is more potential on the way. But is seems PR is PR as usual.
Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.
