= 8 big franchises

MS
Halo
Gears ov War
Fable
Forza
Mass Effect
= 5 big franchises

(smaller franchises like Ninja Gaiden, Ratcher and Clank, Viva Pinata, Motosperm, Project Gofam Racing, Hevenli sword and Banjo arent worth mention)

 

Ratchet and Clank is definitely worth mentioning, with 5 console game, one on the PS3, one downloadable game on the PS3, and another one supposedly coming in the fall, not to mention the two PSP games. I'm insulted that you don't think that it's worth mentioning, especially looking at sales for some of the previous games. R&CF hasn't sold as well as its predecessors, but R&C is definitely worth mentioning.

Ratchet and Clank is borderline, I guess it could be counted as a big franchise, yes.


Anyway, the reason ICO deserves to be counted as a big franchise is because I believe their next game will sell nearly 2 million. And I would argue that ICO is a way more important franchise despite smalller sales than Motorstorm and other games because of how unique it is, it's got better reviews and it's a niche genre that makes the Sony library wider and more interesting.
