Why does Sony fail at making another mega franchise?

@ The bolded: The definition was the EXACT same - it doesn't really exist. Multiple posters told you that. Resistance is Sony's IP, doesn't matter who developed it. It's 1st party. It's NOT in the same boat as Gears, which is 3rd party.

And you should be tired of debating, especially considering how many times you were proven wrong in here. I know I look bad for contuning to even debate with you, which is why I won't be for the remainder of my time posting on this site.

Okay every time you use "I proved you wrong" in an arguement, I'm just going to return it on you. You have never proven me wrong, I actually proved you wrong because your original definition of a second party developer was basically a 3rd party developer that makes games excusivly for one console, which was wrong. You also said Sony coined the term, which was wrong.

Gears and Resistance are in the same boat. Yes Sony publishes Resistance, but MS puts a lot of advertizing and development funding into Gears as well. The ownerships of the IP is the only real difference. We both know Gears will never go multiplatform this generation. Insomniac is working on a multi-console game, so both Epic and Insomniac make multi-console games, both Gears and Resistance are developed by a 3rd party developer, both exclusive franchises are heavily funded by their respective console manufacturer company, etc etc.

Also technically, Gears is a second party game. They are under contract exclusive and heavily funded by MS. Now I know the term isn't used in the media, I'll say Gears is 3rd party, but thats not proving me wrong, thats helping clear up something I did not know (people not using the term 2nd party to officially clasify games).

Anyway I'm done debating too. All you say is essentially "I'm right and your wrong", but you can never prove anything. I don't think you have proven anything to me at all in this thread. Even the things we agree on I brought up because I do say good things about PS3 unlike some people with the 360.....
