Its not as much that Sony has better first party holdings then Nintendo as it is that they actually develop NEW ideas!
Can anyone think of a new IP from the last 20 years Nintendo has created? OK Pikmin, Ill give you that, what else? Anyone? Anyone? Exactly. Nintendo is up to Mario 10, Metroid 6, Zelda 9, Mario Kart 7, Mario Party 8 ect. They have had very few new ideas for quality franchises over the past 2 decades. With every new Nintendo system you know exactly what games you're going to get, its just a question of when. Sony has new and very cool franchises that pop up even if its sometimes hit and miss. They even have a few I really liked that haven't been developed in a while like Jet Moto or Legends of Dragoon. Heavenly Sword is also owned by Sony even if Ninja Theory isn't making the next one. They have cool new characters every few years and develop them from scratch into interesting and compelling franchises. One thing I prefer about the PS systems is I DON'T know what I'm going to get ahead of time, there are always great games like Resistance, Uncharted, Heavenly Sword and LIttle Big Planet to surprise me. |
Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Wii Play, Nintendogs,Golden Sun, Distaster Day of Crisis, Wii Music, Kid Icarus is being revived, Animal Crossing, Brain Age, Battalion Wars, Eternal Darkness, Warioware, all of monolith softs games are theirs now(batein katios.Soma Bringer, Disaster day of crisis as mentioned eariler, Is xenosaga owned by monolith?), Excite Truck, I think endless ocean, and Project hammer is on hold, but could take developement anytime. I expect even more new quality IPs since retro is working on two games that aren't metroid, Monolith is most likely working on a wii rpg, and there will probably be more entries in the wii series. Also all of those games I mentioned started the past two generations.
