The only franchises Sony has that seem a bit excessive in how often they release are Socom and Ratchet and Clank. That isn't a large percentage of their franchises. Nintendo is guilty of a few themselves, like Mario Party and supposedly Fire Emblem. I don't get the deal with people putting Microsoft in this boat though. What exactly has Microsoft overused? I suppose the closest to oversaturation would be Viva Pinata which has had three releases and one spinoff in the span of three years. I can't really think of anything else though.
