We whipped out some CGI far beyond our consoles ability in order to make our competition look weak, only this time it backfired on us. I am quite surprised the game has garnered so much interest. The first title didn't not meet gamers expectations. We'd show you the actual game but we know it doesn't graphically match up to what is hitting the 360 this year. We would build our brand name around a hit franchise if we were able but I our previous efforts be it Crash Bandicoot or Spyro have failed. So per our modus operandi, Sony has relied on third parties to provide varied content on our platforms. Our internal development teams have netted us just two bankable franchises in the last dozen or so years. Hopefully we can ride our brand name out this year as Metal Gear Solid 4, Gran Turismo 5, and Final Fantasy XIII don't arrive until 2008. If not, the third parties we've relied upon will bolt for our competitors."

I am not a fan of killzone at all but if motorstorm is an example than KZ2's graphics might be impressive. As far as bankable franchises go for Sony I think 2 is a little low. * Ape Escape * Arc the Lad * ATV Offroad Fury * Colony Wars * Dark Cloud * Destruction Derby * Formula One * God of War * Gran Turismo * Hot Shots Golf * ICO * Intelligent Qube * Jak and Daxter * Jet Moto * Killzone * Legend of Legaia * Lemmings * LocoRoco * MediEvil * MLB * MotorStorm * NBA ShootOut * NCAA Final Four * NCAA GameBreaker * NFL GameDay * NFL Xtreme * NHL FaceOff * PaRappa the Rapper * PoPoLoCrois * Ratchet & Clank * Resistance: Fall of Man * Rogue Galaxy * Shadow of the Colossus * SingStar * Siren * Sly Cooper * SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs * Syphon Filter * The Getaway * The Legend of Dragoon * Twisted Metal * Warhawk * White Knight Story * Wild Arms * Wipeout I am just listing some of the most popular out of 66+ franchises that were internally done by sony. I think Sony does well for themselves. Not only have they created solid games but some of these games are just downright superb.
