We're not living in the 80s anymore. Kids that have had their balls drop don't want to play Mario, they want to blow shit up and call each other faggots on voice mic, hence why COD, CS, and games where the guns are the main characters do well.

Of course when the parents are making the purchasing decisions, they'll buy that stuff cause that's what they grew up on. But after about 8, no kid wants to dick around with mario when the older kids are all playing COD.

Lol, I'm surprised no one attacked you for this. Because frankly...you're dead wrong

How would you know if he's right or wrong? I'm not defending his view, I'm just challenging your challenge.

As for the topic, I made a thread similar to this. IMHO of all those IPs, many of them are uninteresting (forgive my bluntness):

killzone, GoW, infamous, Jak & Daxter, Twisted Metal.

None of these are endearing in any way.

The only exception to all this is Uncharted, Crash Bandicoot (which is not theirs anyways) and Ratchet and Clank.

 

SONY has a choice:

1) Spend money to offer variety, and in so doing offering added value in contrast with their competitors.

2) Spend money to heavily advertise certain gems out of their many new IPs, and try to create new amazing IPs (like TLoU).

And prof is right.
