How about Infamous and TLoU?  Btw I mentioned Nintendo ones too.  Nothing to say about those?  If they got sequels I'm thinking they were profitable.  There are more.

My point is you cherry picked successful IPs and neglect many fail.

Nintendo games featuring Zelda, Mario, generally do well. Relative to some other NIntendo IP, Metroid game do okay but not well enough to encourage Nintendo to make them frequently. That Kid Icarus reboot was deemed a failure (I liked it). Donkey Kong Country on Wii U failed. Kirby on Wii U is doing poor. Several projects Nintendo threw money at like Sonic Wii U exclusives, Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101, Fatal Frame, and Devil's Third failed. Hence, not everything Nintendo touches is gold either.

Infamous seems to have been successful enough. TLoU is one of Sony's biggest successes. For every success you mention on PS3 I can mention like 3 duds.

Bottom line, big budget games can be risky. Naming successful games doesn't change that.

I would like you to list the Sony exclusive duds please,at the 3-1 ratio you speak of.
