The reason I brought up third parties is because Microsoft would rather just rake in the money they make from third parties and not risk a new IP. Sony is the only console brand with this mentality. New experiences.

Yeah...the community doesn't support them. You're so right.

This weak list proves what?


Bias with a capital B. This is not an argument so I'll just end this now.


While I would disagree with the claim that the games are weak, I do notice that a large portion of the games were heavily bundled, and I think it demonstrates that Sony is willing to support quality new franchises even if they do not perform well on their own. With Resistance, Uncharted, Little Big Planet and Motorstorm all being given away millions of times Sony was able to build a fan base for these games that otherwise wouldn't have existed.

Most of those bundles didnt happen at launch. If they were bundled at all they were not bundled heavily. If they were bundled heavily the sales would've been way higher like Kinect sports, Wii Sports and others whose numbers match the total of consoles or peripherals sold.
