Sony, easily.

We all love Mario and Zelda, but where are the new IP's, Nintendo?


They are everywhere:

 

Wii...

Nintendogs

Brain Training/Age

Eco Shooter 530

Disaster: DoC

Marionation Gear

Soma Bringer

Xenoblade Chronicles (technically a new IP as the 'xeno' preffix was just added to honour Takahashi)

Steel Diver

Line Attack Heroes

Pullblox/Pushmo

Another Code/Trace Memory

 

and that's just to name a few

 


Wii series, Nintendogs, Brain Age and Xenoblade Chronicles are the only ones I've even heard of from this list. I'm talkin big new IP's on par with the sort of games Sony has been making like Uncharted, Resistance, LittleBigPlanet, Infamous, ModNation Racers, etc. 

I just don't get how people still think Nintendo is the king of exclusives. They certainly were from the NES until the N64, but I think based on the PS2 and PS3 that Sony has surpassed Nintendo in both quality and quanitity of exclusives.  I don't know if Sony will ever have a series as big as Mario or Zelda but they certainly try a hell of a lot harder. 


So by this aruement you could say that new is always better? is that it? wouldn't sales numbers indicate how good an IP is? or critical reception? I do agree that nintendo needs to come up with something new (except the Wii titles), but that doesn't make their current IP's any less good. "The King of Exclusives" - judging by sales alone Nintendo wins it by far. And to be honest, Nintendo is far more creative with their IP's than Sony/Microsoft (I'm thinking Super Mario 64, Zelda: OoT, Mario Galaxy etc) - taking something old and making it new.

And, I'd like to quote Mark here: "they try a hell a lot harder" - that's loser talk ;) only if you're second you try harder - and still Nintendo dominates...
