The folliowing phrases made me laugh:

 

• The list of 'great new and huge franchises' contains MAG (Even the developer was closes after that!) Last Guardian (Not even released, timelines not met, key people leaving the developer) Warhawk/Starhawk (not well reviewed and pretty bad sales as well) Resistance (a franchise in decline since Resistance 1)
• AC is as big as COD
• Sony 'allowed' UbiSoft to go multiplat
• Removing B/C so they can sell HD Remakes is a good thing.

Other than that, it still doesn't make any sense to me.

It is like "Okay Sony sucked in the first 2 years and tried to overhype their console and basically fucked their hardcore fanbase with a $600 price tag, but after they crashed, they did pretty well."

 

MAG - No they didn't. They went to a bigger project. Things went to shit after SOCOM for which was fudged up by poor reception and PSN taken down.

Warhawk - Warhawk was well recieved and an awesome well loved game. It had an active community years after launch.

MAG and Socom flopped. Period.

 

Starhawk is not doing well at all. Warhawk did okay, but is FAR from being a huge franchise. It is as huge as Kameo.

MAG did not flop.
Warhawk did great.

Live in that place in your head if you'd like.

So Alan Wake, Kameo, Crackdown are huge franchises as well? I doubt it.

And if MAG did well, there would be a sequel and there won't be one. Warhawk did okay, nothing more. Starhawk as a sequel did not even crossed 100k in the US after two weeks. If this is your standard for successful and huge franchises it just shows how the Playstation brand went downhill with the PS3.
