I have got to disagree with that, in terms of Console gaming, the amount of exclusive contents and new IP sony is pushing far exceed what Nintendo has done. Nintendo's agenda was pushing Wii Shovelware with occassional Mario and Zelda IP. If Nintendo doesn't have their handheld, they would be pushing the same game for the past 20 years with minimal innovation.

 

Making same game over and over again, does not represent gaming. At least we saw several new IPs from Sony this generation.

1. Motorstorm (off road arcada racing)

2. Uncharted series

3. Infamous series

4. Quantic Dream's new IPs.

5. The Last of Us

6. Resistance

7. LittleBigPlanet

8. ModNation Racer

9. Various smaller games from Japan Studio i.e. Tokyo Jungle, Trash Panic, White Knight Chronicles

I am sure u can name a few more, but pushing new IPs, new experience, that's what is going to represent gaming, not rehash of the same old shit.

Uh, hate to break it too you, but "new ips" doesn't necessarily mean new gameplay. How many countless times have we seen another generic fps, racer, hack n' slash, etc, from Sony and ms.

I'd rather have new games with the same characters than vice versa, which is more what Nintendo does. And exactly how were groundbreaking games like Wii Sports and Wii Fit rehashes?


Yah i can say every zelda is the same hack and slash mechanic, and every mario is jumping platform too. Every system has it's variety of games and you can't beat Sony when it comes to variety. Things like Little Big Planet started the whole create, share when Wii doens't even have a online networking running without its 15 thousand digit friend code. Tokyo Jungle u play a dog in a polluted town, and Quantic Dreams games are new experiences, as well as Uncharted basically brought third person adventure back being relevant again in the era that's dominated by FPS.

Sony probably has invested in more first party studio in the beginning of the gen than both MSFT and Nintendo combine, they are dedicated to gaming as any company it not more. Or else they would not let Kaz Harai sit the center of the corporation, a man build his legacy in the Playstation branch start with.
