Funny, I don't remember anyone complaining when Sony had:

Guerrilla Games be a Killzone studio for 9 years.
Polyphony be a GT machine for 9 years now and really for like 16 years now, theyve only been. able to branch out from racing games to make... a motorcycle racing game
Naughty Dog be a Jak studio for 5 years (in which time they pumped out 4 games) or an Uncharted machine for 5 years (3 games). And now back on it with an Uncharted collection and Uncharted 4
SSM has been a GoW studio for over a decade. We just saw a GoW 3 remaster and they're working on GoW 4. And Sony canceled their apparently very good new IP. Hmm.

I'll bump this thread in 9-10 years if 343i and The Coliation and Turn 10 are still making games for the same franchises. Because it seems pretty much every console company has the same devs making their big hits again and again yet people ITT seem to be singling out MS for it as if they're doing some terrible thing LOL.

Well Naughty Dog went from Crash to Uncharted to TLoU, so I don't really see a valid point on ND, but the rest of the named studios ar Sony still has a ton of new IP's from their first parties & unparalled Japanese support. This is literally like comparing Halo/ Forza/ Gears/ Fable to Killzone/ Uncharted/ GT/ GoW & leaving out the rest of Sony/ MS first party portfolio. We're leaving out titles like Ico, SoTC, LBP, LoD, Syphon Filter, Tearaway, Knack, Dreams, Horizon, Sly, inFamous, PixelJunk Shooter, Journey, TLG & the tons of fresh first party content over a ten year span. So it's still different from MS situation. A MS first party didn't even create Halo or Gears, they just bought & own the IP, lmao. Forza is the only new IP that was created in MS studios that wasn't taken over for a third party. 

There are plenty of studios and franchises i left out on both sides because my point is already proven. Every one of these big companies sets developers on their big franchises over and over again, so its silly to single MS out. Or feign concern/disappointment when MS cancels one IP to put a dev onto a bigger IP with more guaranteed impact (Black Tusk/GoW) while simultaneously being stoked for yet another SSM God of War game.

Im not going to bother posting in the thread again, but the hypocrisy and lengths people will go to for fodder is amusing. Kind of like how the Tomb Raider deal is bad by MS and terrible for gamers of all platforms, but the money Sony paid for SFV is just a brilliant business deal and great for gamers LOL.
