Yeah, but the only diff is that Sony can't handle a system w/o 3rd party support... Unlike Nintendo, Sony doesn't have franchises to fill the holes left by 3rd parties...


Although Sony does have strong franchises like Gran Turismo, Uncharted, God of War and LittleBigPlanet. 4 very strong franchises, but I do agree that Nintendo has more recognizable characters.

But that comes from slapping their characters on absolutely everything that possibly was going to be seen. Mario has been the biggest whore in gaming. Been everywhere.

4 very strong franchises is a stretch, more like 1 strong(GT), 2 moderate(Uncharted, GoW) and the rest are mediocre. Ninty definitely doesn't have more recognizable characters because of that. Animal Crossing, Wii series, Nintendogs, etc.. say hello and weren't slapped on everything possible lol. Sony is getting a real test here, can their platforms survive on their franchises only, the answer is clearly no.
