| ninetailschris said: Sony has a bad habit of kill the previous generation characters. Only one they haven't was God of War. They killed sly cooper he is back now but how well will he sell when he became an after thought of Sony? Yes, your diehards will buy it but that's not going to get you that 1 million sales. Even Uncharted Sony 3 generation character they love so much couldn't even hit 1 million and it's been out for like a year. |
I was with you until this. Sony hang on to plenty of franchises from previous generations:
PS1: Gran Turismo, WipEout, Twisted Metal, Ape Escape, Syphon Filter.
PS2: God of War, Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, SOCOM, Killzone.
Now, a few of these franchises don't have a recognisable face at the helm I agree, but that's a different matter altogether. And sure, Sony do drop some of their franchises here and there, but that doesn't mean they don't hang on to the bigger ones (and even the smaller ones in some cases, which is something I respect about them).
Also, Uncharted: Golden Abyss hasn't been out for 'like a year', it's been out for less than 8 months in Japan and less than 6 in US/EU. It will hit 1 million over the Christmas period, and that's not counting digital downloads (which could be really high or really low, we have no idea).
