Take Halo for example, it broke sales records and was marketed as well as hyped to the masses. But the reason is: Microsoft’s install base from last generation revolved around Halo, and Halo only. It practically built the Xbox single handedly. Whereas Sony’s PlayStation 2 had a larger install base and that install base was chopped up into different fans of many different games like Socom, Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo, God of War, etc. These are just a couple of the games that the fans bought the PlayStation 2 for specifically. These fans are waiting to get a PlayStation 3 for these titles this generation.

M$ did it with Halo, Nintendo did it with Mario, but Sony has always said that they don't put all their eggs in one basket. The Sony "image" is that of gaming, not just a singular icon
