Jesus christ dude, I didn't mention software. I mentioned hardware. But while we're at it let's go down the line of their First Party which puts other first party studios to shame: 3D Mario, 2D Mario, Mario Kart, Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi, Mario Party, Zelda, Smash Bros. Pokemon, Donkey Kong, Kid Icarus, Yoshi, Kirby, Metroid, Pikmon, Animal Crossing, Xenoblade, F-Zero, Splatoon, Arms, etc. etc. Name a 1st party with that many IP and then we can talk software, but I digress. Don't take offense so fast without reading the rest of the post. I said there's nothing wrong with that [hardware predictability] because it works and people naturally like predictability. You know what to expect, that's comfortable and I get that. But to me, I always crave new experiences in hardware which is why I also have affinity for Nintendo. |
I don't think that first party line-up puts Sony's to shame at all - quite the reverse, IMO. Plus, I always like getting new IPs, even if they don't always work. But I like your challenge - name a 1st party with that many IPs:
Let's see:
Uncharted
The Last of Us
Gran Turismo
God of War
Ratchet and Clank
Sly Cooper
Jak and Daxter
Killzone
Resistance
InFamous
Horizon: Zero Dawn
LittleBigPlanet
Bloodborne
Heavy Rain
Shadow of the Colossus
Wipeout
Motorstorm
Knack
I'm sure I can think of a dozen more. And notice how they're not different games with the same character.
