Sony is the best at new IP's by a mile over Nintendo and MS. That's one of the things I like best about Sony.

Commercially Nintendo (Brain Training, Nintendogs, Wii Sports/Fit/etc, Professor Layton,  etc) and even Microsoft (Gears of War) have been way more successful.  Sony hasn't even had a new IP crack 5m yet, while Microsoft has and Nintendo's had multiple ones manage it.

A game doesn't need to sell 5 million to be successful, not many games, even in well established franchises, sell 5 million.

But anyways I was more referring to sheer number of quality new IP's as opposed to commercial success.

Nintendo's actually introduced more new IPs than Sony and Microsoft combined this gen.  Thing is, they're mostly handheld and a good amount stay JP only.
