This whole topic is ridiculous, and I notice that the only people who agree with this silly argument are the people with Sony Avys and Sigs.

no its not, and most of those people witht he sony avys and sigs have a 360. what people are saying is that ms needs more 1st party studios which is true. yes they have fable gears and halo but you cant milk a franchise for 3 generations. i honestly dont know what more they can do with halo. if they do its going to become a cod and soon were going to be fighting mutent teddy bears. 

with ms launching kinect, and with some of its 1st party studios making kinect games their resources for making hardcore new ips will be cut in half.

the op is ofcourse exagerating but wev seen with mass effect next with left 4 dead their are no such things as 3rd party exclusives. hence ms need more 1st party studios.

Re-think what you just said, now that you have here is your answer.  Yes you certainly can milk a franchise for even longer than that.  Nintendo and Sony both do it, but I see what you mean there is a major difference here.  Microsoft can't do it because most here don't like them.

Sony has milked a lot of its franchises, just off the top of my head here are a few that will be on PS4 almost for certain.

GT, Ratchet and Clank, God of War, Socom, and I am certain I could go on.

Nintendo has even more, do I even need to list them? Lets just do a couple of the main ones just for fun.  Zelda, Mario, Pokemon?

 

I am certainly not knocking either of these companies for doing sequals to our beloved franchises.  And neither should you.  I happen to love a lot of those games.  So why can't Microsoft have a few too?
