Why does Sony fail at making another mega franchise?

P.S. for Sony established mega franchises, Final Fantasy was exclusive to Sony during the PS1 and PS2 era, MGS still kind of is, Gran Turismo is also a big Sony branded game, and until GTA IV came out, GTA was largly associated with Sony. God of War is pretty epic still, and so are Kingdom Hearts and Dragon Quest. Resident Evil was mega on the PS1.

I'm thinking he is, seeing as it's a bigger franchise in Japan than Final Fantasy.

I think you misunderstood me, I know how popular DQ is, I'm a huge fan of the series.  I'm just surprised how it can be considered 'Sony established' considering the series was already massively popular before DQVII.  Only here in Europe where VIII was our first DQ game is it close to being 'Sony Established' 

The likes of FF and MG saw significant jumps in sales when they went to Sony platforms.  Enough to be considered to be established on Sony platforms.  DQ never saw the same degree, at least not enough to be considered 'Sony Established'
