and microsoft didnt build halo and gears into a franchise, nor did nintendo with mario. Mario and halo became iconic figures of their respective companies and the video game industry period because they defined the systems they were on. Both came at the start of their systems and were great IPs, which fueled their systems to success. They became the face of MS and ninty.
Gears was just a great tps that caught on, much like l4d was a great fps zombie thriller that caught on, as was mass effect and bioshock, all these games had similar sales.
And there is no way for any company to "build" an ip into a brand
if anything any company wish that happened with every exclusive they produced. |
Bad choice of wording. I'm sorry.
But my point really was Sony never had a "Face Of Playstation." The closest was Crash Bandicoot.

umm......what?
Halo Slurpies and a decade worth of Mario advertising say otherwise.....
what you smoking?
