@zumnupy10:they flushed the market with numerous IP's and only 3 remain competitive, two of them heavily bundled (GT and Uncharted), LBP1 was 5M seller, LBP2 sells around 2M, LBPVita sells horrible, LBP Karting same horrible sales (less than 1/10 of original) this is by any definition hardly relevant franchise.

 

"I don't understand this idea people have, that a game has to sell better just because it is made by a first-party studio." extremely important, success of 1st party IP's are best bet, if 3rd parties terminate support to your platform, you have something to sell to your audience, this is the only reason Nintendo remain alive

All companies flush the market with new Ip in the beggining of a new generation.  In the end only a few games achieve success.  Saying that GT and Uncharted sold well because were heavily bundled is bullshit imo.

Perhaps the reason why Sony and MS don't need all their First-party games to be successful, is because they know Third-parties won't abandon them.

 

they flushing the market constantly not only at start of generation because most of their 1st party IP's are dead after few sequels or generation, they certainly try to build successful IP in long term but most with exception of GT failed miserably.

Bundles and Sony's own IP's "success" are not bulshit but pure and simple observation at least in this generation

"is because they know Third-parties won't abandon them." unfounded speculation, new shark in Red Ocean...you know.

successful in case of Sony with PS3 and Vita is not the suitable word

 

Edit: of course in case of Sony only, Microsoft has endless resources as long as Windows and Office sells

Edit2: Vita is great example, how shaky they success actualy is.
