So what does two game titles being trademarked have to do with the games themselves once released being good games?  Nothing.  It's just like if "insert random company here" releases a CG video of "x game."  Doesn't mean the game itself is going to be good, it just means it has a good looking CG video. 

I remember all the Dead Island hype based on just the announcement video, and while it's a good game, what did the announcement video have to do with it being good?  Just like these two trademarks.  Nothing.

I think S.T.A.G.E. is just pointing out that these are new IPs. That's a good thing already.

The question as to what games these will be, you're right, is a different question. But I think it's valid to mention when one of the big 3 has a new IP or two up its sleeve, in a market where freshness of ideas is considered not necessary but important, not only for sales but also for longer lasting and genuine appeal.

Yeah, they are already on their way to another $1 billion in loses for 2012. With poor hardware and software sales for the PSVita, I'm sure they are hurting.

Yeah....sure, its called heart. Anyway, its better to have a company focused on new and old ip's rather than a company that lives off of old IP's (obviously not bad ones) and another whose first party isnt on par and depends on third party.

And why exactly is this better? you seem to imply that "new" IP = more enjoyable or fun for gamers.

Mario, the Masterchief and those games from EA, Ubisoft and Activision (third party) are not inferior by any means to any "other" first party. To me. But this my own oppinion :)

I think the PS3 is going to go out with a good sum of games (Including TLG), but these might be next gen titles.

Im not saying this. Sony has their characters too, but they have the drive to make more because the variety what gives gamers choice. This is where Sony is miles ahead.
