Your thinking is so narrow minded I don't even know where to begin. To start with, Microsoft has plenty of new IP's on the 360 like Gears, Mass Effect, Dead Rising, Bioshock, Lost Planet, Saint's Row... all of which sold over a million so your point is meaningless. Secondly, the 360 is not the only platform receiving big name sequels, or haven't you heard of MGS4, GT5, Killzone 2, etc... Just take the fanboy glasses off and you'll see a surprising amount of equity between the sequel/new IP lineups between the PS3 and 360.

Most of the title you mentioned are either 3rd party or multiplats. Including Gears and Mass Effect(PC) hell even Viva Pinata and Blue Dragon are on the DS of all things.

Next gen though sony should have many system sellers,
That's the main problem with Sony. They have a history of making really great games, but many of them are new IPs, so they never really build up a strong brand recognition the likes of Mario or Zelda.
For example, going from Jak, Ratchet, and Sly last gen to Uncharted, Resistance, and InFamous this gen. The only one that has carried over so far is Ratchet.
Really, the only big Sony franchises carried over from last gen so far have been Ratchet and Gran Turismo (though only in the form of Prologue thus far). We have Socom on the way, and Killzone 2 (though I look at it as more of a new IP, because it definitely won't do well based on the success of the first), and God of War III later next year.
And Team ICO's games will probably be a sequel/prequel of some form, but the games will be so distantly related that Team ICO's older titles will have little impact on the selling power of the third, outside of extremely hardcore gamers like us.
Sony has two problems:
1. They do make sequels, but they pump them out way too fast. For Ratchets last gen? It was great for fans, but for many people it just got stale.
2. When they move to a new console, they tend to make lot's of new IPs, destroying much of the brand recognition between console outside of third party IPs. Just look at Naughty Dog, going from Crash, to Jak, to Uncharted.
What they need to do is get their developers to focus more on new IPs all the time, rather than just when a new console launches, while returning to older franchises maybe every other game, somewhat like Insomniac are doing now.
Imagine what would've happened if Insomniac had made two Ratchet and two Resistance games last gen. Resistance: Fall of Man would've been a system seller of sorts, and Ratchet & Clank Future wouldn't have been knocked as hard for being the same old stuff. Hell, if they went straight from the original R&C to R&C Future, it would've more akin to the transition from Super Mario Sunshine to Super Mario Galaxy, and Future would've been praised for all the added gameplay elements.
So, my point is that Sony should provide a constant mix of new IPs and well known franchises from it's developers, rather than having them pump out sequels way too fast for a few years, then moving to a new IP and never looking back. They just need to put more time between the sequels, and have the franchises span multiple consoles.
Uncharted
Heavenly Sword
Motorstorm
InFamous
Little Big Planet
Resistance
And at the same time keeping a few older IP's like Socom, Ratchet, and Killzone.
When the PS2 was released did we see new IP's such as Socom, Ratchet, Jak, Killzone, Sly, and so forth???
With each console SONY seems to focus alot on bringing new IP's and keeping SOME of the old. Certian IP's like "Grand Turismo" would just be foolish to end.....
4 ≈ One

First of all take Lost Planet, Dead Rising and Bioshock off that list seeing as how - THEY R NO LONGER EXCLUSIVE NEVER WERE EXCLUSIVE. Second this is a thread about Sony not Microsoft so it would seem as though you r the fanboy imo since his point was not attacking Microsoft as yours is attacking him and Sony and I would name the differences between Sony's new IPs and Microsoft's but that would start a flame war between us so I won't bother- ANYWAY back on topic I agree with the OP however things are beginning to look up for Sony let's see what happens after the holidays to see if Sony has any system sellers seeing as how their exclusives for Holiday 09 could prove to change this trend of non system selling 1st Party PS3 exclusives

Added to your post. DR is on cell phones, Bioshock was on PC (and soon PS3). Lost Planet is the same story as Bioshock.
the ps3 is going to get many good exclusive first party games, i mean they have the most 1st party support out the big 3
System Sellers are a myth, perpetuated by some fanboy in the bowels of internet forums desperate to see consoles rise magically in sales due to one game.

FYI De85
1) Saints Row 2 is coming to PS3, Dead Rising probably will too
2) Lost Planet, Bioshock are on PS3
3) Many have suggested Mass Effect will come also, as the IP is now owned by EA
4) Gears is on PC too (Epic owns IP), and MS will prob have to pay Epic big bucks to make sure it doesn't eventually come to the PS3.
