Sony fanboys spouting inaccuracies as usual, what do you expect from the VGchartz community?  

Here are the numbers of game franchises that each company owns, per Wikipedia:

 

Nintendo Franchises, 30 in total, go here to see them:

Sony Franchises, 81 in total, go here to see them:

Microsoft Franchises, 65 in total, go here to see them:

Now, those are just the number of franchises but I am sure that you are wondering how many games have come out of these franchises.  Well, if  we look at 2008 (2009 is not over yet so we should not use it).

Microsoft has released 19 games in 2008 (from Xbox 360/PC and Xbox Live combined).

Sony has released 42 games in 2008 (from Playstation 2, PSP, Playstation Network and Playstation 3 combined).

Nintendo has released 38 games in 2008 (from Wii, DSi and WiiWare combined).

So, as you can see, Sony does NOT make more games than both Microsoft and Nintendo put together. 

 

 

     

sony does have more studios, certainly they are working in other thigns besides games.
