Miniboss1232 said:Funny. I seem to remember Final Fantasy and Metal Gear originating on Nintendo consoles. And in Japan, Sony has LOST the Dragon Quest franchise (the biggest franchise in Japan) to the DS.
The other franchises you listed are first party, and since you seem to think that Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, and Goldeneye aren't worthy of being mentioned, then I don't think those should count either (I'm just using your logic here).
Again, why do you keep bringing up the legacy from N64 to GameCube? The GameCube was building off of the N64, which was in last place. Forget GameCube. Do not let it enter into your argument ever again. Look at what Nintendo had before the N64. Complete console dominance.
I see no significant evidence of this.
Considering the PS3 is doing worse than BOTH of those systems (and the N64 was actually pretty successful, compared to the GameCube), I'd say they're not in a much better position. Or are you talking about Sony as a whole?
Actually, we don't know about the sales surge yet. NPD tomorrow night. We don't know about the sales surge from God of War (Ratchet & Clank, a franchise you previously said was important for the PS3, did not seem to move any additional units in the month it was released). It remains to be seen what FFCC will do. But again, this is ignoring everything that's on other platforms.
Ok. I concede I haven't given the Nintendo franchises a fair shot. Although i would add that while MGS and FF originating on nintendo's consoles, they never made it to the N64, did they?

Yea. Exactly. This is UNLIKE the PS3, which is not building off of a console in last place, it's building off and has potentially the loyalty of one of the biggest console userbases to date, with some of the biggest franchises to date, from a console that's STILL outselling evry next-gen console except the Wii. This is why they're in a better position to come out of the slump than Nintendo was with the GC. Will you lend no credance to this claim?
