Has Sony surpassed Nintendo in 1st party IPs?

[Eternally Jaded]

Hell no Sony hasn't surpassed Nintendo in first party.
Not in sales, relevance or acclaim.

The only metric where they beat Nintendo is in overdone, pretentious self important games that masquerade as movies.

Sony first party is the DCEU of videogames.

The only games Sony has ever made that truly approach Nintendo quality is the Team Ico games.

That's it.

And AstroBot, kinda.

Sony's western studios would sacrifice babies to make games half as intuitive and mechanically sound as Nintendo.

I'm legit disgusted you fixed your fingers to type this trash out.

Animal Crossing came out and sold 30+ million in a year.
Sony would cry tears of joy to have a series sell that much in five years.

This thread is the epitome of that "WE ARE NOT THE SAME" energy.

I’ve enjoyed 2016 ratchet & clank over the last 3 mainline mario titles

Having iconic characters don’t translate to having the best games. Pokémon is the most iconic game franchise in the world next to mario, and the last 4 pokemon games sucked.

Sonic is also a super popular character...and we know how that goes. Like, yeah Mario is Mickey Mouse status, great for selling merch and theme park tickets but it doesn’t translate into high quality gaming experiences

If that game was released on switch and starred a pokemon instead of ratchest these nintendo stans would be calling it the second coming

They’d lose their minds if nintendo put out a game like that, but since there’s so much other piff on PlayStation it falls into the “meh” category

None of those big selling nintendo games would make a blip on the radar if they were on other platforms

In terms of sales? No.

In terms of new IPs? Undoubtedly.

Coli filled with Sony stans that love movies disguised as games, I agree with you. That's why the PlayStation brand is dead, dead, dead in Japan and became a alightly more efficient XBox

The shyt was frontloaded though. Wii was status a few years in while Sony was taking over.

Everyone had one by then. Nintendo developed games still sold. It only proved the point that they are pretty much unmatched when it comes to 1st/2nd party strength, and basically solo carried the Wii.

There's many ways to cut it. Even if someone drags sales in, I'll bet Nintendo sells the most single-platform titles out of anyone else. Critical acclaim there's titles across many generations like Metroid Prime, Ocarina of Time, Super Metroid, Breath of the Wild, etc. I'm also sure they have more penetration across the library with the userbase than the other 1st party studios. Overall franchise dollars, etc.

I'm not discrediting Sony btw. I already said they have solid 1st/2nd party. They're just nowhere near Nintendo. Nobody comes close.

If that game was released on the Switch it'd be called Tak, Vexx, Jak or Spyro.

Nobody is feening for a Ratchet and Clank, there's a reason why if they pass 3 million sold, 3/4 of the sales are around $15 brehs.

You're literally hyping a series modeled after Saturday morning cartoons......decades after Saturday morning cartoons went away.

Playstation Piff doesn't exist except for what the third parties make for it.

Sad dad simulators ain't everything, especially since some of us have either read the books or seen the movies they're lifting wholesale from.
Playstation : Games for people still embarrassed to say they play games.tm.

Sony has yet to make a game as influential as Halo, and you're trying to set them up against Nintendo??

Crazy.

Come make this thread again when Sony does something revolutionary rather than derivative.
How do you describe a Sony game?
By taking two different popular games and smushing them together.

Try again later breh.

I have never seen a fanbase of gamers so content in letting a company continuously finesse them as Nintendo stans. shyt is almost sad. but its still funnier than sad.

Ya'll nikkas got BOTW and what....smash Animal crossing the non game game?

chill

You're in a thread proposing that Sony surpassed Nintendo in first party development yet I'm delusional??

Son.

Nintendo is the greatest console software publisher in the world, rivaled only by Activision and Ea.
Impressive in three continents, dominant in two(Usa, Asia) whereas Sony is only dominant in Europe, where its big off Cod and fifa.
Nintendo new ips generally shyt on Sony outside of gloss factor.
Like I said, Sony is DCEU self important and overwrought.

I understand your frustration tho breh.

It must suck to be beaten so completely by someone who isn't even trying to beat you.

End of the year best seller lists, Nintendo takes up 8 spots of the top 20, Sony is lucky if they get two.

And its an annual wakeup call, to make it even worse.

Sony tried to be a more efficient M$, and sacrificed the Japanese market altogether. They chased the super high end graphics on some console super-edgelord shyt, and moved its main PlayStation headquarters to California, from Japan. In return, Sony lost the Japanese Market altogether, let Nintendo completely own it, and now competes against M$ and their American made 1st person shooters, marginally updated yearly sports games, and the latest GTA DLC that delays GTA6 altogether.

I remember years ago, back in PS2/3/4 eras, Sony clowned M$ for never breaking the Japan market and abysmally low hardware and software sales.

Now, look at fate. . Sony went full retard on graphics, and does anything to outpace the latest XBox console, and abandoned its original identity.
