At this point why does Microsoft even bother?

Microsoft needs other franchises besides Halo, Gears, and Forza. It can't be Forza and either a Halo or a Gears game coming out every year. Franchise fatigue is setting in.
PlayStation needs other franchises than uncharted, tlou, and GT.

It can't be a unchatrted, tlou, and/or GT game every year.

:mjlol:


In reality the most recent Forza and Halo are the best selling of their franchises in years. People must not be too fatigued :ehh:

TLOU came into existence in 2013. Technically it's not even a franchise yet. The last Gran Turismo game came out in 2013. Other than a DLC Naughty Dog has moved on from Uncharted.

If you remember Halo was supposed to end with 3 / Reach. It didn't.

The last 6 years there has been a Forza title released every single year and 7 of the last 8 years have had one. The last 7 years there has been a Halo title released 6 of them. Gears titles are also released about every other year. The Gears series like Halo was supposed to end with the third game it didn't.

If Naughty Dog went up to Sony today and said Uncharted should be finished it likely would be. Bungie wanted to end Halo and Microsoft wouldn't. Epic wanted to end Gears and Microsoft wouldn't.

Come on breh , between xbox and sony ...you know sony is the one that introduces the most new franchises. They already close the lid on Uncharted , i would love to see Microsoft do that with halo or any other of the franchises they milk. We got horizon which is a new franchise, bloodborne another new franchise , they invented God of War again , Days Gone is another new franchise , Spider-man and many others.

I bring up Microsoft forcing studios into being franchise machines not allowed to make any other games so MeachTheMonster brings up card games and dlc made by other studios.



You can't make this up.
They don't force studios into franchise machines. They simply move the franchise to a different studio when the original one gets sick of making them.

Spider man an new franchise? :mjlol:

Bloodborn new? :mjlol:

In reality they milk their major franchises just as much.

It wouldn't make sense not to.

Only reason GG is making Horizon is because nobody wants another killzone. If killzone was selling like Halo, they'd be making another one.

They abandon IP when it no longer sales enough. It's all dictated by sales, nothing else.
