New IP do not shift consoles.  Actually it takes a while for a new IP to become a AAA that sells a system.  Spinning off a universe is now considered desperate without actually knowing what these games will be.  You sure have a very strong opinon about very limited information.  Would we see the same opinion if Sony also spin off the uncharted or Last of us Universe.

No it doesn't.  The first Halo sold a boatload of Xbox consoles through review scores and word of mouth of how good it was.  It was an instant AAA classic.

If Sony made any of their main franchises annual I would be equally critical, it is never a good thing in terms of quality, only money

How many new IPs have replicated Halo.  Hell, Sony tried with 3 different IPS and have not replicated Halo and neither have MS.  One anomaly out of hundreds of games does not prove your point.  

So you are saying it would not be smart for Sony to take a Universe like Uncharted or The Last of Us and spin off different games within that universe, thats fine but calling it desperate is on another level.
