Since these two games happen to be named after the characters, you can't really do that. The point is they had the "Character name collection" part, which is the only part that's "original" in the MCC title.
There's a Chrisptopher Reeve Superman Collection for example.
But let me guess, it's the name of the actor, not the character, and the the character name is in there... but it's also the name of the title, and it's reversed, so it's different!
Give me a break.
Halo: The Master Chief Cllection is not original name. Not by a longshot. They took the idea of "charactername + collection" from someone else and put it in their title, plain and simple.
But now the defsnse is "it doesn't have the name and title in there". What's next? It's missing a "The"?
And let's ignore that both these games are far below the level of Halo, as that is completely irrrelevant.

The fact this discussion is rolling in most foruns proves that there is a general perception that Halo: The Master Chief Collection is the first using this pattern. You can´t expect people to remember about a 10 years old Superman DVD collection.
Sony has its reasons and we can only especulate, MCC is fresh in our memory that is the whole point I called it wierd Sony using a pattern that would be instantaly associated with last year release.

What's fresh in our minds is one thing, but you don't think Sony remember their own titles?
The point is, neither Sony nor Microsoft were first with the this idea, and the structure of the titling doesn't change the fact that it's not an original idea of theirs, and that they all got it from someone else.
What the discussion and rolling going on proves if anything, is lack of knowledge.

They should have named it "Uncharted: The Neil Druckman Director's Edition Collection"... so they would be copying the box with directors name and avoid using the patented name structure MS uses.
