Why Are Sony Letting Microsoft Bully Them Out Of Familiar Franchises?

Why? Because Sony'd rather spend their money on NEW franchises of their own, and my list illustrates that. Will it pay off? Certainly, as you'll see every third-party game one way or another going multiplat eventually, and those that already are sell quite well on the PS3, and in the case of japanese-developed games even better 'cause they sell in Japan.

"i think its b/c sony are focusing on creating NEW and BIGGER franchises"

when will we see these NEW and BIGGER franchises you speak of? there has only been one big new franchise this gen from sony, Uncharted... but thats nowhere near as big as the ones you mention.

I think your view is wishful thinking.... its nothing to do with that and everything to do with margins and profit... game makers need to sell more to more gamers.. pure and simple.

Sony NEW franchises this gen :

Uncharted (part 2 was goty)

Infamous

Little Big Planet (goty)

Resistance

Motor Storm

MLB The Show

Warhawk (will definitely get a sequel)

White Knight Chronicles (sequel almost done in Japan)

M.A.G (you can bet this will go on)

Releasing soon (with franchise potential):

ModNation Racers

 

They may not seem big to you 'cause you're a shameless fanatic perhaps blinded by bad taste, but all of those are great to good games (look at gamerankings and metacritic) and have sold pretty well and you WILL see more of them AND THEY WILL STAY EXCLUSIVE. I included ONLY FIRST-PARTY titles, or I could've thrown in stuff like Valkyria Chronicles, but it's best not to include third party stuff since for those we never know and in this day and age it'll be quite rare to see a third-party franchise stay exclusive to a console.

 

So what NEW franchises does the X360 have this gen?

Gears of War (a THIRD-party franchise, very likely to go multi-console SOMEDAY and the 1st game is available on PC) (goty)

Left 4 Dead (a THIRD-party franchise, very likely to go multi-console SOMEDAY and it's available on PC)

Mass Effect  (a THIRD-party franchise, very likely to go multi-console SOMEDAY and it's available on PC)

Crackdown

Am I missing something, because I think that pretty much is all of them? and out of those Gears is big, L4D is above average for FPS, but the other two? just ME2 for now.
