Besides Halo what other MS owned IP sells 10m? right......
Besides GT games what other Sony IP's sells 10m?

Fable 3m
Uncharted 3m
LBP 3m
Resistance 3m

Crackdown 1.5m
Infamous 1.6m

Lost Odessy 800k
Valkyria 900k
Demon soul's 700k

MS IP's sells the same as Sony's IP's quit bitchin.


GT was last gen... and Fable has sold more than 3 million if if you don't count Fable 1. Sony might have a lot of franchises but none of them do partically well. M$ doesn't have as many, but they all do better on average. Niether of these companies strong suite is their exclusives though, M$ have like 2 franchies worth mentioning, every other is for PC as well. Sony got like 3-4 worth mentioning.

3 or 4? lol...... He's right about the averages. Microsoft and Sony's IPs do about the same amount on average, and Sony has FAR more than 3 or 4 franchises worth talking about. Something doesn't have to sell 5 million to become anything worth talking about, as Fable, God of War, Uncharted, LittleBIGPlanet, inFAMOUS and many others have all proven, and that's not even going into anything yet.

Ping_ii, you missed a few franchises, but your point is accurate. Not only do MS franchises get similar ratings to PS3 franchises, but they sell equally well too.

The IP's I scratched out are third party. Really MS only has Halo, Fable, Forza, Crackdown, Viva Pinyata, and the random Rare title. Too Human, Lost Odyssey, Prey, Gears of War, Mass Effect, Alan Wake, Project Gotham Racing, etc are second party exclusives. Sony only really has GT, Uncharted, Killzone, LBP, God of War, and Motorstorm. Resistance, Valkyria, Demons Souls, and Heavy Rain are all second/third party exclusives.

In regards to # of franchises, Sony has 1 or 2 more, but 360 franchises see more interations (4th Halo title, 3rd Gears, 3rd Forza, second Fable comming out by 2011, while 2nd Killzone, possibly a 3rd Uncharted, 2nd GT, 2nd InFAMOUS, 2nd LBP, etc)

Sony owns the Resistance and Demon's Souls IPs, so no not 3rd party exclusives. They also have a TON more IPs than Microsoft. It far exceeds 1 or 2.

Also, Microsoft onws the PGR IP. No matter who develops it, it's still theirs.

Microsoft also owns Lost Odyssey.  And Blue Dragon, and even Infinite Undiscovery (even though Square Enix published it).  

For 1st party owned IPs on both 360 and PS3 (not counting XBLA/PSN)...
