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'

He means how it got big. The PlayStation was the kicker is what he's saying, as it was for many franchises.

DQVIII is currently the highest selling DQ game (though perhaps not for long) and it was exclusive to a Sony platform, I don't deny that.
The highest selling final fantasy game in both Japan and the US pre-playstation was FF VI. FF saw a considerable jump in sales when it went to Sony. Enough to IMO be considered 'Sony Established'
Dragon Quest on the other hand did not see it to anywhere near the same degree. The best selling DQ game in Japan pre-PS was III.
In the US, the best selling pre-PS DQ game was the original and post-PS was VIII
I hope this explains why I don't think why DQ can be called 'Sony Established'

Fair enough, his wording needs attention, but I still see his point.

LOL at this!
I should have mentioned why I included Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy. When I say Sony established mega franchises, I meant that duing the PS1 and PS2 era Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games were exclusive to the Playstation, and if you wanted to play these "mega" franchises, you had to own a Sony console. Pre-Playstation, they were Nintendo mega franchises, as Sega did not see these titles on their consoles. Sony itself did not make these franchises mega, just had exclusiveness to them.
For this generation, almost all of these mega-franchise exclusives either went multiplatform, or exclusive on another platform entirely (DQ IX, and X are Nintendo exclusive now)
