The Resistance series wasn't a huge success. So yeah, no.
Sony kept making Resistance and Killzone because they needed their own FPS vs Halo.
There is a reason both IPs are dead now. Guerrilla finally made a hit with Horizon, while Insomniac is still struggling.

With creating their own successful IP? Yes.
That's true. They should have killed Halo after Bungie left Microsoft. 343 Industries completely ruined the IP.
Ratchet was pretty big in the PS1/PS2 days. Did you not see how well the ratchet games reviewed and sold back then. Spiderman is pretty good regardless of the name and Resistance 3 is probably the best shooter released in the PS3/360 gen along with Killzone 2. I do think they need a bit of extra oil/oomph to get to the level of Naughty Dog, but boy, they are now one of Sony's premier developers, they can only get better from here on out.
Hopefully they can develop another new IP outside of Spiderman to quell your doubts.........Also Sunset Overdrive was not as high budget as you think. Neither was Fuse. You could see where Insomniac had a budget to talk about. Clearly Spiderman 2 looks like it has a proper budget.

Ratchet and Sypro were 25/20 years ago.
They have been struggling to make their own successful IP for ~15 years. They need to hire better talent instead of some comicbook nerds for more Marvel stuff.
Eh, let's not bullshit here. A good 15+ million of that are pack in's from that bundle they whored out for god knows how long.Dude spiderman sold over 30 million copies
That's sold not numbers of players.
They're not a direct purchase and all other SKU's are pulled, it's padded BS regardless of who's doing it
"Let's attach a game to our console which is already selling 20 million a year! Look at that, our game sold 30 million units!"
Lmfao, graph padding bullshit
Bet you will be raving when Spiderman game sells a paltry 1 million on PC.
Just like GOW, Days Gone and Horizon.
At least be fair.
So when Insomniac Games makes another hit Ratchet game and a 85 scoring new IP this generation, you'll admit you were wrong?
How many Spiderman sales were standalone Vs bundled?
Why do bundled sales not count?
yeah, I don't get the arguments. Somehow we were made to believe that a game selling 30M copies is not great because bundles, but then when Nintendo does it, or Xbox claims 20M people played on gamepass, it's suddenly acceptable.
Bundles are also priced above the regular price, so the game is making its revenue.
Where did you get the 15mil + number?
@mods should starting asking for source for this bullshit. Anyone can make shit up and not back it up. Spiderman sold through 9 million copies 2 months after release.

As we want our engagement here in the forum to be productive, can you please provide a source for your claims? I'm asking this since you seem so adamant that your data is correct.
Where do you get those numbers from? Your ass? Do you say the same thing about other games being with consoles as well or is it just Playstation. I am sure you were one of the guys thinking Hfw is only selling coz of the bundles which isnt true. "Note: GSD data charts does not count games bundled with consoles." Cant use that bs excuse anymore

I am right because the thread RIGHT NOW is called "Why is Insomniac games incapable of making a successful new IP".
And they have been struggling to create a new successful IP for at least 15 years.
