I am sick and tired of people that says that Nintendo uses their franchises over and over again.
Mainly because of that they are ps2 fanboys.
Sure Nintendo uses Mario, Pokemon and Zelda and several other series over and over again, but are really Sony any better?
We have GTA, GT, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Crash Bandicoot(yes I know about the multiplatform remake), Spyro the dragon.
And Sony has not even been in the market as long as Nintendo.
They will probably have to use their franchises over and over again till we will get to that point were XBOX 2 owners is accusing Sony of being unoriginal.

Note: Just because they were on a single Sony format first, it does not mean that they are a Sony franchise.
A gaming series developed by Sony = Sony franchise.
A gaming series made by a third party, but released on a Sony console = Not a Sony franchise.

The only reason I dislike criticism for Nintendo's use of franchises is because Nintendo don't reuse them that often. In each Generation Nintendo create a new little franchise... sometimes there is a new additon ever year (Mario Party - began life on the N64)... sometimes every console (Mario Kart(SNES)/1080(N64)/ F Zero (SNES)/wave race(GB)/ Smash Brothers (n64))... other times when they feel like it e.g. Mario...
Zelda in the last 2 generations have had 2 releases a console...
As regards new franchises this time round we have Pikmin, MEtroid Prime (new in a way)... Animal Crossing (although officially started on the N64)....
Nintendo always make new franchises... and bar Mario Party they don't overuse them... they keep them alive like the fans want them too but they only ever release them when the games are so much better than the original.

I couldn't care less. They are all brilliant.
I know that most of them are multiplatform, but they came out on the ps1 and ps2 first.
With the exception of the Gran Turismo series (which I just don't know about - so someone else will have to clarify), none of those are Sony franchises.
