If I had to compare all of the publishers in the industry for originality, Sony would definately be on top.

If you're looking to define "artsy" -- that's really the only logical place to go, so... hate it all you want, and enjoy your Cadbury or Perugina chocolate bar too (pretend its "the good stuff", if you like). Sony innovates in PS3 software more than the rest, and has throughout their history.

Can you provide some examples?

Umm.. go through the database here and use "Sony" as the publisher?  Play games much?  Start with the entire music/ rhythm genre (Parappa, Umjamer Lammy, Harmonix's Amplitude) and go from there to modern 3D platform foundations like Crash Bandicoot, the first MMOFPS (Planetside), one of the first big MMORPGs (EverQuest), revitalizing the Action genre with God of War, etc.
