If the big 3 could only make new IPs from now on who would have the best exclusives? who would sell more?

Nintendo and Sony proved both, that they can create high quality new IPs. As people usually say, that Nintendo only has Mario, here the new IPs from Nintendo in the last years:
* Dillon's Rolling Western
* Freakyform Deluxe
* Pullblox/Fallblox (Pushmo and Crashmo in the US)
* Xenoblade Chronicles
* Wonderful 101
* Nintendoland
Sony also has a good track-reord:
* The Last of Us
* Beyond
* PSASBR
* Heavy Rain

So basically I say Sony and Nintendo can do new IPs. Microsoft probably can do, but on a smaller scale (so far). To be fair, it takes time to build the resources. Sony also needed a long time to build the first party devs they have now. So we can expect Microsoft to pick up on that later.

So your first question is, who would have the best new IPs. That's difficult, because the best is very subjective. Sony-fans prefer Sony-games, because otherwise they wouldn't be Sony-fans in the first place. Same with Nintendo and Microsoft. So the answer on this question depends really on the person who answers.

The second question is, who would sell more. Well, that is easier. Nintendo already proved to have the best selling games, regardless if they are old or new IPs. So Nintendo will probably win in this category.

This is the best reply so far. And someone said earlier that apart from the new wave of casual games, Nintendo's last new ip was in the N64 era. Wrong. It was probably Pikmin on Gamecube.
