Sure, White Knight Sony for the rescue, they totally do not milk the franchises that they get to stick somewhat *cough* lbp *cough*


Dude...Mark Cerny was even talking about that as one of the reasons he's worked for Sony so long after leaving Sega in the 90's. They make a little bit of everything and reinvest in what works. They are always looking for something new. 

Yeah, they all do that.

MS to a lesser extent, but this is their third generation. They'll probably come into their own this coming gen...maybe.


MS wont outpace Sony because they don't know what they want as a company. Trust me their greatest new IP will be a shooter and most likely the one from Black Tusk. Hopefully Killer Instinct does well enough to continue the expansion of the franchise. We need more fighters. Their fleet will most likely come from outside just like with the 360 through second party funding (IE: Remedy, Crytek, Gears, etc). Sony's first party fleet will continue to grow. As you said before, MS to a lesser extent because they are still down to an adventure game, Halo and a racer, just like their first gen ended. Sony isn't perfect but compared to the other two they are very, very self sufficient as a tech and media company. 

The way I see it as far as lifetime development is concerned IP lifetime development quaity is: Nintendo > >>Sony>>>>Microsoft

Current IP development quality: Sony>>>>>Nintendo>>>Microsoft.
