PlayStation Franchises that will survive and die by next gen

[Iveyboi]

Firstly, fantastic thread/idea

I agree that Uncharted will survive along with MLB, God of War. Gran Turismo IS Playstation so not a chance that it will ever stop. Yakuza will also live on as it is a big seller in Japan. I feel that Valkyria Chronicles may live on if they make another PS3 Sequel. White Knight Chronicles may live on

Relating to the ones that will die however I might have to disgagree. If Infamous 2 does not exceed 2.5M lifetime without bundling then I feel that a New IP will developed in it's place. Resistance will die without a doubt if the third fails to exceed 3M (IMO). I feel that Warhawk & Starhawk will not continue either. Little Big Planet is a tough one as it is really well recieved and Sackboy has become a SOny mascot himself. Rather than a standlone game they may incorporate Sackboy into other Sony IPs (Along the lines of PS Move Heroes which is horrendous). I feel that Ratchet & CLank can always have a new release and sell 2M but given the trend from PS1 to PS2 and PS2 to PS3 perhaps the series had it's last horrah (I anticipate All 4 One bombing HARD). Lair will never have a sequel. Motorstorm will also stop. Twisted Metal will be entirely contigent upon the release later this year. Heavy Rain MAY have a sequel but that may be it; they have obtained higher than expected sales and the first was geenrally well recieved. Killzone is a tough one to comment on; I feel that as long as they get 2.5M sales then the series will continue. Heavenly Sword after the sequel will die out. MAG is toast but did better than expected. Haze is toast, Eyepet, Modnation Racers.

The good news is many new IPs will come out to replace this gens new IPs
