 A lot of Sony's success came from their ability to produce games for both the family and the "mature" gamers (e.g. LBP and The Last of Us).

No. Sony's fan-perceived "success" is actually solely the success of 3rd parties on their consoles, their own gaming division can't be called succesful. They're a far cry from Nintendo, Blizzard, Activision or Valve when it comes to success.

OT: No, just no. Nintendo is financially far more successful than Sony's or Microsoft's gaming divisions. They don't have to take a lesson from anybody.

Considered some of the top developers of all time:
Polyphony Digital
Sony Japan (Team ICO)
Naughty Dog
Sony Santamonica

This list doesn't have anything to do with my post or even your own OP. I could easily name at least thirty developers on different platforms who are considered "some of the top developers of all time".


You're the one who chose to make an argument to cut down Sony when technically you're both right. Sony largely had a third party fleet and they had great first party as well. Problem is it was swallowed up by the variety of third party. He was right, Sony did have something for everyone, which is something Nintendo needs once more.

Nintendo has some  but Microsoft has Turn 10 which isn't there yet and Lionhead has fallen since Microsoft bought them.

Even IGN doesn't even have them on their list of top 50 devs. Bungie was the only applicable company Microsoft had and they are gone.
