Im talking first party.
Sony has walked out of the gen with InFamous, Uncharted & Little Big Planet ontop of what they have. Nintendo has walked out with Xenosaga ontop of what they've already got and probably more that I am missing.

yes and microsoft has came out with plenty of new exclusives this gen as well up until the last few years. The thing is infamous and libp are nothing huge. lbp has been on a huge decline and infamous never was huge. That is why you only saw me post games that has the potential of selling around 5m copies. Sony has borught out new games yes but none of them has been as big as gears, halo, fable, or forza this gen either. They had there already established series and then brought in uncharted.

It doesn't matter if one doesn't believe those games are huge. Sony is walking out with those franchises and investing in them because they believe they could be huge in the future. Microsoft never brought out gears, that was supposed to be multiplat but Microsoft paid Epic to keep it exclusive. If I was to count gears for Microsoft i'd have to count Metal Gear for playstation which to be truthful I don't.

Okay, so your logic is "walking out with games" means those IPs will have sequels on a next gen platform. That hardly means Sony believes they'll be huge in the future. It just means Sony feels its financially worthwhile to keep those franchises going.
We don't know if MS will continue any of these current gen IPs. All we know for certain is there are new IPs coming. These new IPs probably have more potential to be huge than the old IPs.

The games any brand brings into the next gen are the games they believe have a future. New IP's are coming, but Microsoft generally has the same three games and the third parties provide heavy hitters for them outside of that. All brands have it.

Im not going to argue about exclusives in here but all im saying is sony is in no better situaution. I chose system sellers but anyways we know nothing what either one is going to offer so predicting things like this is not going to go anywhere. Any sony fan will say sony will sell more and vice versa with a microsoft fan. Me on the other hand, i will wait until i hear more from both of them before i make any kind of sales predictions.
