TLOU was not a risk.  Sony sells itself on making violent games and coming out with new franchises all the time.  TLOU was the norm for Sony, and it wasn't a risk at all.  You make a zombie game and you are guaranteed to make your money back even if the console fails.  Look at ZombiU for that.  I credit them for making new characters all the time, but the gameplay is as unimaginative as it gets.  

And what would Sony's alternative be for playing it safe anyways?  They don't have a lot of franchises to rehash you know.  If it makes them a lot of money they rehash it like everything else.  

Yes I have admitted how many times now that Nintendo reuses characters...  So what..  They change the gameplay up every time so what does it matter.  Which is exactly what you still haven't defended on Sony's part yet.  They just drop new characters into the same engine.  That's why they churned those games out so fast, they just changed the characters and used the same exact engine.  That's worse than what Nintendo does because they rebuild Mario from the ground up every time.  That's why you only see 1-2 3D mario/Zelda games a generation in comparison with Naughty Dog who made 4 games because they could cut costs on the engine.  Not to mention they have stated they intend to continue using that engine on the PS4 as well.  

I didn't say that they don't have other franchises other than FPS, I said they are getting worse and more generic.  Their variety is getting narrower and narrower.

BeElite is basically saying that Nin only makes kiddy games and has been for years. Hyrule Warrios says hello, Xenoblace Chronicles, Devil's Third, Ex Oblivione etc to name a few(sorry I am not as good with the Wii U lol).

Beyond two souls, Afrika, Flower, Folklore, Genji, Formula one, Infamous, Singstar, Buzz, Eye of judgement, Demon Souls, Calling all cars, White Knight,  Carnival Island, Twisted Metal, Untold Legends, Tokyo Jungle, The Unfinished Swan, Gran turismo, Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword, GOW, Heavy Rain, Lair, Kung fo rider, Journey, Fat princess , LB, LBP karting, Modnation, Medieval Moves, Pixeljunk racer eden, PS battle royal, Puppeteer, ratchet and clank, Siren, SLy Cooper, Sorcery, TV Superstars, The Fight.  And more but that should suffice.  Not fps.

Sony sells PS based on variety and it always has, something for everyone.  A message that is lost on nintendo.

It seems both of you are just being a little emotional right now about things you are passionate about and there is nothing wrong with that. But both of you are kind of just making irrational false statements. For instance you say Nin reuses characthers but they change up the gameplay everytime. That is eseence is not true a game like Mario that you all have beeing using for isntance STILL has the same basic gameplay whether it be 2D or 3D the concept/gameplay is pretty much the same. But those games work for Nin so there is no issue with that so they can keep doing it.

You also say Sony has lately only being catering to Shooter/Sports fans which is also far from the truth looking at their Roster of games...LBP, Journey, Puppeteer, Heavy Rain, Sly, Ni No Kuni, Tales of Xilla etc just to name a few. Not generic or anything like you said.

My point being both of you just need to accept the opinions of each  other and let the arugment go because now both parties are just basically going back and forth down playing what the other said...sorry to butt in to the convo but it was just getting a little out of hand...IMO
