It was pretty easy to read to me.

is this factoring in the 2 team studios like MM, ND, and SSM that can work on 2 games at once?

Also how long has this been true because if it's been awhile then I guess it's just quality over quantity.  I can name way more awesome Playstation 3 games than 360 games imo.  I can also name more good 360 games than Wii games but I still prefer Wii because I just like platformers and adventure games more than shooters.  The few that I do like are games like Half-Life and Resistance 3 with unique features and skip on the cinematic crap.


If you will, go back and edit your last response and get rid of the OP as it is unneccessary.

As you can see a lot of these studios have been created in the last few years.  It looks like they are preparing for next gen with these studios.  We dont know what they are working on yet.

But maybe that'll change now??


you havent played sony first party to judge

Oh, but I have :D some... many years ago ^^ But just by looking at sales tells me this, and the scores and stuff like that. And besides, I've never found GoW to be something that would entice me, and I haven't played a GT since the first installment of the series ^^ But I'm not much for racers... Only game that looks good to me is UC... And only game MS has that's any good is/was Fable. But c'mon, we all know Nintendo pwns everyone else when it comes to 1st party. That's just the way it is.

yea maybe if the IDIOTS(Sony) actually stayed fairly consistent with ALL their franchises, and somehow still had Spyro and Crash under their belt then maybe they could be right up their with Nintendo

 

.. NOT HIGHER but up there near them

Yeah, how the hell could they let those guys go?!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Doesn´t surprise me at all. Sony is nearly at bankrupcy and MS has Windows fartting money on them. What really surprises me is all the amazing things Sony does with the little resource they have. I will give an example: Althought I have and love both HD consoles, the unforgetable experiences I had this gen where on the PS3: The Heavy Rain game, played 6 times, loved every minute, the Uncharted games and the felling of getting games for free on the PSN Plus, like every month is my birthday.

 

Of course, both consoles had dozens of great games: Killzone 2 and 3 on PS3, Allan Wake and Deadly Premonition on Xbox360, Civ Revolution, Brutal Legend, Fallout 3, and so many others on both consoles. But Sony really shines like the gamer´s game company, like it is literally dying to provide the ultimate gaming experience. 

It will be a really sad day for gaming when this giant finally dies.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

First Party

I picked out some devoted to Kinect, Mobile, and Kids. In other words, nothing of interest to a real gamer. In addition to these, there are 8 studios with Untitled Projects (excluding the Kinect one I've shown already), and I'd bet at least a quarter of those are Kinect-based as well. 

I'm more concerned with what each studio pumps out versus the sheer volume of studios.

ok so you haven't tried Infamous, Uncharted, Heavy Rain, Resistance, God of War, Twisted Metal, Warhawk, Sly, Ratchet, Jak, or LBP because of the review scores?  Also yes sales wise I would say Nintendo does and they lead in the platformer genre (Sony really only has Ratchet now that Jak has been put on ice and Sly isn't up to Mario levels), but sales aren't everything and you have to remember that Sony changes franchises every gen so their franchises don't get nearly as much of a following built up.

So many parents played Mario and now buy every one of them for their kids.  A lot of reviewers also are effected by nostalgia when grading Nintendo games (not saying they're bad but maybe a few of those 10s would turn to 8.5s if they didn't constantly bring up "magic" and "childhood feelings resurfacing").  Nintendo has the perfect strategy in making only 1 or 2 games for each franchise each gen.  They are of the highest quality and avoid series fatigue due to this.  It aslo ensures high sales for each iteration (NSMBU will sell millions upon millions not only because of its quality but also because of the fact that it probably won't ever get a successor so if you want 2d Mario on U you buy it and it stays at a high price because you can't get it from a sequel).  With this strategy they make a lot more money too considering they can sell games like Maro Kart DS for near full price still).

However Sony pumps out quality games at a high rate and makes awesome new IPs as well as investing in new types of games every gen that the other 2 wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.  Think you'd ever see Heavy Rain, Sly 4, or Journey on a MS system?  I don't think so.  My point is Nintendo is amazing and we need the pillar of their company and their franchises in this industry, but Sony is just as admirable for investing in NEW experiences and IPs even late in a generation and supporting their platforms longer than anyone.  You can't say one is better than the other on review scores and sales alone.

*BAM!* So that means MS should pump out more franchises than Sony on a regular basis

so they have no excuse to not deliver more exclusives than Sony on the regular now

this will be the official Sony franchises vs MS franchises generation

who will have the more quality franchises as a whole?

you have enlightened me with this info. You have also raised the expectations so if MS DOES NOT deliever more franchises than Sony then....

i'll save that for later

this is going to be good

Dude,  their are a lot of new IP's from MS.  Like today Skulls of Shogun..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UX0r96w9bog#at=21

The sad thing is that people always downlplay Xbla games but then with all love nominate an PSN games as GOTY... 

Journey deserved its spot

 

XBL can have a lot of arcade games but that doesn't mean that they are all game of the year worthy

 

1 recent xbl game that stood out to me was a game called "Dust: an elysian tail" but the rest didn't really stand out to me that much

 

that skull of shogun game doesn't look all that special.. it might be an alright game but it doesn't seem like the type of game that could move me or something

If you don't like new ips then yes. The reason I like the ps3 1st party games the most is because they release new ips every generation.
