I will bump this thread every time any of the above studios do not make a brand new IP. Also if:
With 30 million copies of Kinect Adventures in a single game and Halo on the verge of exceeding Gran Turismo sales despite a 4 YEAR HEADSTART, reality is against you this day....plus, you better tell Microsoft that Minecraft "doesn't count ".
If Forza is not a blockbuster, then with GT6 being the sales failure that it is, Sony has no blockbusters. One thing I think you missed. More people will enjoy playing entries from Halo and Forza and Minecraft and Fable and Gears of War this year on Xbox One then they will playing the New IPS from Sonys internal studios this year on PS4 (thats a big fat zero games if you wondered.). |
Stop with your half informed and biased talk about Sony and their games.
SSM - got to try a new IP but failed, also since the launch of the first GoW they got to collaborate on well over 10 different IPs
SSD - are also doing a new IP (Killstrain) and have also been working on other games aside from MLB The Show
Team ICO - has, as is normal within Japan Studios, worked on other games during those 10 years, also this is one game and not a series they've been forced to milk dry
Sony Bend - is now doing a new IP, have also been able to work on different, albeit not their own, IPs in the last years.
How about instead of that you bump this thread if one of MS studios among 343, the Coalition or Turn 10 actually get to make a new IP? Cause nobody is suggesting that Sony isn't doing sequels at all, the point is that they are still giving their devs the possibility to try new things at a certain point, meanwhile MS has created one studio to make nothing but Forza titles, one to take over Halo after the original dev wasn't interested in it anymore, forced Gears on another new studio that was going to make its own thing at first because the original Gears dev was, again, not interested in the series anymore and bought a fourth so it could entirely focus on making Minecraft and nothing more.
Kinect Adventures was bundled for life with a product that was sold on straight up lies, better be proud of that. Also it didn't sell 30 million copies.
GT is at 70mil without GT6, so really Halo is not on the verge of exceeding it, also don't forget that despite those 4 years MS managed to churn out just as many Halo games as there are GT games, if not more, that series is on almost a yearly release schedule now.
MS created Minecraft now?? Geez, you should really stop rewriting history books. Stop fucking crediting MS for Minecraft.
So TLOU a game that likely sold over 10 million copies is not a blockbuster? Or Uncharted? Or God of War? And GT isn't a blockbuster anymore because of one game that released at the stupidest time possible on PS3? Wut? Forza is not a blockbuster because without bundling the games in the series would all sit in the range of where Forza 5 sits right now, just look at the Forza 6 announcement trailer on Youtube, that thing has hardly any views for what is supposed to be a "blockbuster franchise". And before anyone starts, I'm not saying that bundling is bad or that none of the mentioned PS games were bundled, but take a look at the sales in the first weeks of those games, they sell millions on their own.
Also good job on concentrating on this year alone, yes Sonys first partly lineup is thin for the rest of the year, we've been over that, how about you look a little more into the future?
