Platformers and action/adventure.

If that's the bar you choose, then Sony is known for nothing.

I forgot living room party games and racers (Fzero/mario kart but mario kart).

You also forgot fighting games (SSB series) and simulation (Animal Crossing). There are even more that could be added, but we are already looking at six different genres without splitting up platformers up into 2D and 3D games and whatever falls under your definition of living room party games.

And as J_Allard rightfully pointed out, Sony isn't making new IPs out of nobility. They milk what works (70+ SingStar games in eight years speaks volumes) and abandon what fails; and since Sony releases sequels at such a high rate, most of their successful IPs quickly fizzle out, so they are forced to make new ones once again.

 


Singstar will be milked just like Just Dance will be milked. Those games serve their purpose to the casuals. I edited my post though and added some more genres. Platformers are platformers whether they are 2D or 3D they are still apart of the platform genre. SSB is a party brawler, not a technical fighting game and even the developer doesn't consider it a fighting game. SSB once namco touches it will most likely play like a real fighter.
