I said some of the most successful games in the history of the Playstation brand have come from third party companies. Can you not read? The top five best selling games on Playstation are: COD MW3, COD BO, COD MW2, GTA 4, and Gran Turismo 5. Other than Gran Turismo, Uncharted 2 was the only Sony owned IP that cracked the top ten in sales and it ranked #9. God of War 3 ranks #21, Uncharted 3 #14, Killzone 2 #35, inFAMOUS #53, Littlebigplanet #13.

Naughty Dog is a one hit wonder, they make a few hot titles for a few years and then they drop it like cold turkey and conjure up something new. Case in point, Crash Bandicoot, and Jak and Daxter.

You claim that "some of the most successful" titles come from them and then, in the same breath, call them a "One Hit Wonder" kind of company. That makes no sense, because the termonolgy was concocted on the basis of just that; an artists/performer that only had one notable offering. Naughty Dog is not in the category. Also, cracking the top 10 is a huge feat, I agree, but that doesn't mean it dictates the means of success.

And the pointless "can you not read" comment further proves my earlier point, no matter how much you want to paint yourself as "the nice guy". 

Nice way to dodge and deflect the question. I thought you said your lineup of Sony IPs would defy my previous statement?

Who do you think you are? I'm new here and I don't know you people very well and you don't know me, so show a little respect and you'll get respect in return. And I know what one hit wonder is, I was using it as a figure of speech. Thought you were intelligent enough to realize that. You know the essence of what I meant.

Since you're the one who's new here, your question would much more appropriately be directed to you - who do you think YOU are? Just in your last few msgs, you've made multiple, completely unnecessary, derogatory comments. You'll learn real quick here that if you want to get along with people, you have to be respectful and decent. No one's going to like you if you keep reacting and talking the way you are. It's also a quick way to get yourself moderated.

Also, you used the phrase "one hit wonder" incorrectly. No debate there. One hit wonder means one hit. That's all. Naughty Dog is actually, quite literally, the opposite of a "one hit wonder" company:  every game they've made has been a hit - both critically AND financially. What you seem to be commenting on is that they don't continue their franchises past a few games (3, to be exact), which is a different thing altogether.

Oh, and just for the record, "CGI-Quality" just so happens to be one of the most respected members on this site. Some of the main reasons for that are (1)He has respect for all game systems, and (2)He's respectful with his posts.

I've been visiting VGC for several years now, and CGI is one of the most level-headed members here. Don't think I've ever seen him be disrespecful. You seem to be getting too defensive. Him making a rebuttal to a statement of yours that he disagrees with is not disrespect.

Just be level-headed and keep your cool and you'll fit in well here.
