Does Sony overuse their franchises?

Well, my take, not really. I mean sure, we see plenty of Ratchets and now the finale of God of War is on it's way, but look at the amount of new IPs currently out, and in development. Sony has done an absolute great job at developing new IPs this gen, so their line-up isn't all overused.

For people jumping on Nintendo, even if you don't like these franchises: Wii Play, Wii Sports and Wii Fit are ALL new IPs and were ALL well received, let's remember that

actually none of those games have been critically well received. They sold well but are not considered critically acclaimed games at all. Their reception has been warm to mediocre at best.

I'm pretty he was talking about the consumer reception and not the reception of 30 year old manchildren.

 

I thought we were talking about the quality of said IP's? Afterall the discussion here seems to be that over exposure of franchises leads to reduced quality of said franchise games. CGI then used examples of new IP's that have been far less well received than most established franchise games and made a point of implying that Nintendo has been creating good quality new IP's. But the exact opposite is true, while they enjoy massive sales they have been critically panned by most reviewers as modiocre to low quality titiles.

Maybe I'm missing point, but what's the point of brining up Nintendo's new IP's if none of them are actually considered good?
