No shit. In my eyes, they are leaps and bounds ahead of Nintendo as well.

Just curious but why? Nintendo in my eyes has the IP department on lock. I'd say they have an entire 2-3 tiers of IPs with more selling potential than anything Sony is able to produce. Anything we can really judge IP success by is something Nintendo crushes Sony at overall. 

Sales? It's very likely that they'll outdo Sony indeed (99% chance!). I just don't like the fact that they barely make any worthy new IP's, and the ones that they do have are redone to all hell, time and time again (with nice breathes of air, like Wind Waker, SMG, and DKC Returns, some others). Make something new, guys. The genre diversity is also not as big as Sony's.

You do know that most Sony games are bought up together with the company that makes them right? I hardy call that “making” new IPs :P

What games are you talking about?

Guerilla Games: creators of Killzone was bought by Sony in end of 2005

Naughty dogs: creators of Uncharted was bought in 2001

Media Molecule: creators of little big planet was bought in 2010

Insomniac might not have been bought by Sony but they do make exclusive games and a lot of people might think oh it is a new Sony IP

Factor Five has the White night IP and some think it is a Sony game but it is not :P

Just because it is an exclusive does not mean it is created by Sony.

Now what games are new that were made by Sony and not just bought up :P

as i do not play that many PS games i might have missed a few

 

GG was bought AFTER the first Killzone. Which was already a SONY IP. 

When SONY bought Naughty Dog they got them onto a completely new IP (Jak and Daxtar). Before they were bought, they only made the crash games which SONY didn't own and neither did Naughty Dog. 

Media Molecule again worked on a SONY IP already before they were bought. LBP was going to be something completely different before SONY came along.

I don't get what's your point with Insomniac. Everything they made was a SONY IP after the Spyro games. Not an IP of their own.

Factor5 made LAIR. Which is a SONY IP.

If you mean Level 5; White Knight, Rogue Galaxy and Dark Cloud are all copyright and owned by SONY. 

As for your last question, some other games that are OWNED by SONY and new this gen:

inFamous
Uncharted
Demon's Souls
Eyepet
Heavenly Sword
MAG
Modnation Racers
Motorstorm
Resistance

Off the top of my head. These and the ones mentioned above show one thing for certain that SONY has over Nintendo: They don't rely nearly as much going into a new gen on older IPs like Nintendo does. You pretty muched guaranteed to see a bunch of new ones that SONY puts at the forefront with all of their other big hitters from the previous gen. They did the same last gen with games like Socom, God of War, Jak N Daxter, Sly, Ratchet, The Mark of Kri, etc. giving them just as much if not more attention than PS1 franchises like Syphon Filter, Ape Escape, Warhawk, Twisted Metal, Wild Arms, Omega Boost, etc.
