Why does Sony fail at making another mega franchise?

but uncharted 2 it's one of the best games this gen, even if it's copying Gears or whatever, the presentation, the story, and the gameplay it's far better than most of the games out there....following that reasoning, then killswitch has to be the best game ever, half life should be the biggest hit ever, Mario games should not sell that well, and Halo would be dead already.

Which games did Mario and Halo copy off of?

Probably late to the party here, but what did Halo rip off?

See Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake, Quake 2, Rise of the Triad (for the dual weapons), Blood 2, etc. etc. etc.

Only thing it really "innovated" was that it was on the xbox, limiting to two weapons and the regenerating shields.  So, if UC2 borrowed lots of ideas, Halo did too.  Just saying :)

Don't forget the seamless integration of vehicles. I can't think of another FPS that did that before Halo was released.
