I don't think 2 games from 1 franchise that they didn't create can compete with 4 franchises (franchises created by Naughty Dogs themselves).

None of that affects the  quality of the games, and Retro's best can easily match ND's best.

It does matter. The ability to create great new IPs would put one studio over another. Even better when one studio has quality, quantity and variety.

Whether a game is a new IP or not doesn't determine its quality. Retro hits the same high watermark of game quality as ND. Quantity is both a plus and a minus as not all ND's games are great, even if their top ones are masterpieces.

 

It does matter whether a game is a new IP or not. Obviously, creating a successful new IP is much harder, especially these days.

Also, Retro never made a game that has as much of an impact in a generation as Uncharted did. Record-breaking number of awards as well and influenced so many other games. Not to mention that Naughty Dogs hit that height several times.
