I've never understood the argument of Microsoft delivering quality while SONY delivers quantity, SONY delivers both. Sales are a different story ofcourse, but maybe one should revise his or her own source if he says Uncharted or Infamous or LittleBigPlanet isn't as critically adored as gears of war or forza motorsport 4. Maybe it's microsofts IPs lack of competition or SONYs lack of ambition to advertise a game, either way it really is a shame and if anyone is to be held for blame, it's me, for writing a shitty poem about it.

^ +1 I guess ;p
Most of Nintendo's game franchises are household names (Mario, Zelda, Pokemon), Sony's franchises arent necessarily household names, they tend to change/make new IPs every 5 or so years.
So in this case
Nintendo ---> Uses the same IPs for the past 20+ years.
Sony ---> Makes new IPs every few years (only makes 1-2 games out of old franchises, I cant think of a second one atm, only Wipeout).
Microsoft ---> Only has Gears of War and Halo, and GoW is a recent IP compared to Nintendo's, so their like in the middle.
Dont be surprised to see Nintendo selling like hotcakes, its because they have multiple generations of fans unlike Sony/MS.
Edit: Their lucky their first party titles are well known, otherwise Nintendo would of been the 2nd Sega or actually the third Atari.

Yeah you're completely right, and the few SONY franchises that were established have been hit pretty hard this gen (Final fantasy, gran turismo).
