Why does Sony fail at making another mega franchise?

Sony has the best first party developers which create new ips all the time.

Why doesnt Microsoft do this? Because they buy their exclusives and have almost zero first party devs.

Why doesnt Nintendo do this? Because they have a legacy of Mario and Pokemon and Metroid which they rarely go away from for a new ip.

Halo is Halo, Gears is popular because outside of those 2 games there is really only Fable and Fortza, that IS microsofts first party.

Sony does infact get recognized for Mega franchises. Gran Turismo > Halo world wide

Metal Gear, Uncharted, Little Big Planet, Ratchet and Clank > Gears.

You ask why arent there more mega franchise games, I ask why isnt there more diversity in the competition?

Please:

Wii Fit

Nintendogs

Wii sports

All new IP's

Ummm...  Nintendo fanboy speaking here.  This might be out of context but as a hardcore gamer and Nintendo fanboy here, the titles you listed does almost nothing to enhance and strengthen the hardcore/core gaming experience.  But then again, I think I'm on context here.

There's no valid reason to disregard the above IPs from the list of mega franchises.

If you are looking for mistakes, search a little above. For example, Metal Gear (Solid) isn't a Sony franhise and neither Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet or Ratchet & Clank are biggcer than Gears of War.

Gears isn't Microsofts IP, and fable,crackdown,forza sells the same as Uncharted, LBP, Infamous, ratchet.
