This is tough because Sony's franchises are so inconsistent.

If Ico/Shadow of the Colossus counts as a spiritual series, I might pick that.

Wipeout is ineligible as it's been on Sega and Nintendo systems.

Ratchet & Clank is up there too, and I haven't even played all of the games. God of War, too. Basically a bunch of stuff that started on PS2 is up there - that was the golden age of Sony first-party software.

What do you mean by inconsistent? Their overall output may vary in quality, but individual franchises are very consistent with maybe Killzone as an exception.

I disagree with PS2 being their best first party period, as most PlayStation gamers I know only cared about Gran Turismo and God of War back then, but on PS3 they have many more favourites along with these like Infamous, Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance and Killzone which started on PS2 but became a high quality series on PS3.

I wouldn't consider two IP's as one even if they are made by the same developer.

Inconsistent in quality. It's hard to think of a PS first-party franchise that hasn't turned in a bad game or two.

I gotta stick with PS2 on this. Most of the great Sony first party games arrived on PS2: Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, God of War, God of War II, The Precursor Legacy, Killzone, Going Commando, Up Your Arsenal. By comparison PS3 was weak, with only a few standout titles like Uncharted 2 and Infamous. PS4 has been even less impressive. Thankfully a lot of good third party content has filled in the blanks on PS3 and PS4.
