Yeah its called new IP development thats the entire point. They made new games that sold a lot of copies, see above.

Microsoft is stagnant which is why they were forced to spend 80 billion dollars. They couldn’t make one new game to save their lives
New IP development? Buying insomniac, bluepoint and sucker Punch? :mjlol:

They don’t know how to get them to branch out and make new IPS. For all the studios they have there’s no way they should be in a drought like this. Once Microsoft has Call of duty exclusive to Xbox it will be be downhill for the franchise you watch.
Rare made sea of thieves which ain’t my type of game but :yeshrug:

Coalition is working on a new ip right now

343.. have you seen halo recently? Would you trust them with another game at this point

Playground games is making fable currently and what are they milking? Forza? They don’t drop every year and gran turismo has been out for decades

By the time Microsoft gets the ball rolling with a lot of these games we will damn near be in next gen. We almost in year 3 of this console generation and Microsoft has only dropped like two or three exclusives. With all them fukkin studios they dropped the ball last gen and they doing the same with this bullshyt trickle down exclusives. My series x been sitting collecting dust just starving for games.

Playground have release 5, and turn 10 have released 4 (soon to be 5), 9 games in 11 years

Now thats how you milk a franchise
Two separate games.:stopitslime:
5 for horizon
4 for motorsport.

In that same time there’s been 7 ratchet and clank games.

8 uncharted games

7 God of War

4 TLOU in just 9 years with another coming soon.

Good guy sony “milking franchises” :wow:

Not over 10 years, and thers only been two last of us games.
Even if you separate both forzas (which no one does for Call of Duty mind you) you still have almost 10 numbered entries with 5 per studio, thats almost a game a year

For a platform that doesn’t have many ongoing franchises that is a lot

Go Check the wiki’s

As usual you are deluded by your sony stan glasses.

If 5 games in 10 years is “milking”

Sony out here looking like the milk man himself :wow:
