I'm trying to think of Sony exclusive franchises that could have a big impact. I'm sure they will come up with some new properties, but as far as older, non-third party games, here's what I came up with:

Omega Boost
Ape Escape (if they get the rights back from Ubi)
Twisted Metal (the already said that it won't return anytime soon)
Sly Cooper (not a really BIG franchise)
Jak & Daxter
Syphon Filter (this one COULD be big if done right)
Legend of the Dragoon (I hated the first, but it's still a big name)
Jet Moto (I REALLY want a jet ski game. This is as close as I'm likely to get)

Not the biggest library in the world (there are others, but these are the most marketable in my opinion). Aside from Gran Turismo, God of War may very well be it. The PS1 and PS2 thrived on third party exclusives. In an age where third parties know no loyalties, Sony has proven to be exceptionally resilient. They made some new franchises (Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, MAG, MotorStorm, etc.) and were successful. I'm sure they have more tricks up their sleeve. They just don't have as many established hit exclusive franchises as Nintendo (or surprisingly, Microsoft).


Since when did Ubisoft buy the rights to Ape Escape?

I don't know.  I got Ape Escape: Pumped and Primed (and it came in an Ape Escape 2 DVD case) and the case and the game say "Ubisoft".  I just assumed it went the way of Crash and Spyro.
