And since i brought the subject, i was obviously talking about IP's owned, the goal post was to talk about the variety of IP owned

Sunset Overdrive would have happened thanks to someone else, microsoft is not the only one with money.

Still doesnt take the fact that you answer me off topic since i was talking about investement in new games of their own. It's good to invest in a game that would have existed through an other publish anyway, but it's better to make your console more unique, because sony does both, lot of IP's owned by themselves + lot of games they help, it brings more exclusives .


And how many of those games do Sony keep up with? They toss them out not because they want more new ip games, its because their games usually don't sell well. So it really doesn't matter if Sony makes new ips and keep them when they won't use them in the future. Microsoft invest into some new ips that will never see a sequal.

You make totally no sense, it matters if you are a real gamer because it makes the library better with more games and more variety, an IP doesnt always need a sequel, especially a story telling one, TLOU would have been good without a sequel even if they make one

And some have sequels, and when they dont keep up they create new ones. ( for example gravity rush 2, an IP just created on Vita will have it's sequel on PS4 ).

 

Anyway, that doesnt change the facts i told you , and  it would have been better to get a real exclusive, new IP or even not, instead of this false exclusive , wasted money when Microsoft could create more IP or revive games ( Banjo?) and need it.


What I am saying is why bother owning an ip if you're not going to use it in the future?


Because you never know it you could use it or not, its not the kind of things you plan, and sony is not the kind afraid to make games that will not sell well, Yoshida said it many times, they like to make niche games like Puppeter and Gravity Rush.

And it makes your console unique knowing this IP will only be on your console.
