Can't fuck with Pushmo.

Sony, they have the most studios and they have proven that they can make lots of new successful IP's.
Microsoft relies on 3rd party exclusives too much and Nintendo....well if they could make a new successful IP, they would have already done so for the Wii U because if theres a system in need of a new exclusive worth buying it for, its the Wii U (probably the vita too)

Sony>Microsoft>Nintendo

Sony seemed to be much more interested in creating IPs this gen and Sony also has the most first party studios to work on IPs. Microsoft has a load of money and if forced to make new IPs they would probably buy a few studios and invest a lot into them. Nintendo I would assume do the same thing and buy a few studios but there system would hurt tremendously sense Nintendo systems thrive off of the Mario and Zelda games without them I would imagine the system would bomb.

If Sony,MS and Nintendo would lose all their best IPs unquestionably Sony would benefit the most of this. Nintendo and Microsoft both have way stronger old IPs than Sony has, Sony IPs are not bad but no one ever really bought a Playstation because of Sony IPs. Sony consoles always was successful because of the 3rd developer games. The people buy Playstations because of Fifa, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, GTA or Residen Evil. No one byes a Playstation for Killzone, Uncharted or some other Sony crap Games. Sony games have no mass appeal, they never created IPs where people really was interested in.

And there is the difference to the other two companys, the Xbox only survived because of halo, fable,forza and gears of war this are all really strong IPs and almost all of this brands exist since the first xbox. Microsoft would have no success without Halo.

And this story matters even more for Nintendo, no one could ever imagine Nintendo without Mario, Zelda or Pokemon. This brands exists almost 30 years. No one would buy a Nintendo console without nintendo games.

The only console which could be succesfull without exclusive first party games is the playstation and the reason for this is that people never bought playstations because of Sony games.

Why can't MS create a racer with the mass appeal of Gran Turismo then? They've had 5 shots at it now and are still no closer :p

Nintendo make first the gameplay, than choose a character to the game.
If it wasnt Mario, would be other character.

Stop being paranoid and hyper-sensitive.  I never even mentioned Nintendo.  I DID NOT say those things whatsoever.  I said SONY DOESN'T DEPEND ON THOSE THINGS.  Anything else is you reading what you want to read.

You know what the funny thing is, really?  I had Kinect Adventures in mind and I was thinking how Sony failed to match that even though they tried during the same time-frame, yet they're still doing pretty good at the moment.   Then in comes the people yelling about OMG YOU INSULTED NINTENDO.  Honestly, take off the tinfoil hat, you're embarrassing the rest of your fanbase.

LOL thanks for the explanation, I guess I'm more a PS fan anyway x)

check out our playstation nation thread. its a place where we talk and troll the vita/WiiU/360 discuss playstation products and games

I have to fix this. Too many things that don't work.

First, Little Big Planet didn't help push anything. It was a cute IP that sold well, but most people who bought it already owned a PS3. Uncharted is different, but no matter how you slice it, one series that maxes 6m isn't the reason any console succeeds. Especially when that's the best you've got. None of those are "huge sellers." The PS2 had a dominace over the market. It had a NES situation. It was abnormal. That's why it could depend on those 3rd party exclusives. Those are all multiplats now. No more FF, Crash Bandicoot, Metal Gear, or GTA exclusives ever. And again, those were all due to multimedia sales. Not Final Fantasy. Not any things. Those helped and those drove momentum, but if Sony released the PS1 without a CD player, there would be no playstation today. The PSP did NOT sell because of Monster Hunter. Is that a joke!?

In regards to this topic though, those are mostly third party games that used to be exclusive. Now that they aren't, they don't sell well enough for Sony to depend on them. Sony would only be able to drive consoles with it's new IP's that sell like shit.

People like to brag about how Sony makes so many new IPs. When only two of your new IP's could reach 5m, you have absolutely nothing to brag about.
