Why does Sony fail at making another mega franchise?

Which games did Mario and Halo copy off of?

i think none, i'm saying that after all the sequels without much innovation, they should be going down, yet, they aren't going anywhere.

No one's talking about sequels here. We're talking about why some new franchises fail to become the commercial successes they were expected to be, and maybe even deserved to be (based on feedback and reviews)

I think Rol's got a point, just look at the Wii.

I'd also like to note that "doing something first" when making a new franchise is but one of many factors it takes to make a potential hit, and even IF you have all that it takes to make a hit it's not a guaranteed to become one.
