Killzone and LittleBigPlanet need to go? hmmmmm....... NO WAY.

However you are right. Sony didn't doom themselves, they just put themselves at competition with Microsoft (or maybe Microsoft put itself at competition with Sony). Either way, the only difference now from before is that Sony has to share their 3rd party IP's.

I don't think MS is any better off then Sony next gen, how many Halo's do people need? MS has less IP's then Sony and although many of them are more established, most of them are overplayed. Halo 3 on 360 was big because it finished off the trilogy to the franchise that made the XB. Releasing so many Halo games now, it kills the mystery.

Nintendo waits years before releasing a sequel to Zelda, and the overall experience is still enjoyable despite being largely the same because the franchise isn't over used.

So don't point the finger and think Sony is screwed, at least they tried to make a few new IP's this gen. Last thing Nintendo made was Pikmin, and that was over a decade ago. Yes there was Brain Age for DS as well, but for consoles it's been a while. Ms isn't much better since Gears isn't Microsoft, and everything big was on XB1.

At least Sony has the studios and experience to make a good new IP.

What worries me for next gen is where will all current IP's go? Are Halo, Killzone, Gears and Mass Effect just going to switch storylines/villans? (After Gears 3 and maybe 4, the franchise will not centre on Marcus, and same with Mass effect and Commander Sheppard). I feel the main story of these games has been absorbed, and worry the franchises will be raped and murdered like Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and any half decent Disney film. I just hope MS and Sony show off some interesting new IP's.
