So much for "Sony's answer to Zelda." The franchise is coming to Nintendo!

Sony's answer to Zelda?

Lol!

It's almost too bad it wasn't developed or published by Sony, or else you might've had a point.

No, but it was exclusive for the Playstation 2.

 

So?

Was Grand Theft Auto 3 Sony's answer to Zelda because it was exclusive to the PS2?

 

I would agree to some extent with you, Montana. However,  most people associate Metal Gear and Final Fantasy with Playstation, despite the fact that both originated on competitor's systems, neither is owned by Sony, and both could leave for greener pastures at any time they wanted. 

And thus, I think one could reasonbly argue that some games not made by Sony have become so heavily invested in the Playstation brand that they are de facto Playstation/Sony games. I don't think Okami fits that description, as it was a disaster on the Playstation and sold well under expectations, but that wouldn't stop some from claiming otherwise.
