Because most of them are older and more well known, while Microsoft's are all established recently and it makes sense to prove that they exist.

Xbox had great launch games and some including me think the greatest launch ever. :o

360 had a great launch as well, not quite like Xbox but pretty good never the less

Expect the same for the next box and trust me, that doesn't happen by accident sooooo what I'm saying is...

They busy, busy, busy making next gen games :D

Or one might say, Just wait !! :twisted: :P

This is one of the many cases where: Quality > Quantity.

Heck, judging by future releases, I'd say Sony has both Quantity + Quality.

It's possible. I preferred Xbox over PS2 in every way possible, but that was a different bunch of folk running the xbox division back then. So I guess we'll see in a few months.

Lots of them seem to be working on the mobile market aswell as the PC market, really doubt Flight will make a console game really.

Sony's first party have a focus on 2 platforms and most of their B team are left to the handhelds and PSN, ND and the likes are all on the big projects, MS is in a similar pickle with Lionhead,T10 and 343 essentially being their A team.

A lot of the projects made within either of the 2's studios will either be lower budget,motion gaming peripheral based or Arcade titles.

No they do not.

Thats not even half of Sony's first party list because you aren't even listing the Europe and Japan first party developers.

As well as those 2nd party developers who make game for PSP and PSN.

Sony has more first party studios than Microsoft and Nintendo combined

Its not even a competition :P

There was once a post around SW displaying a complete list from all the 1st part devs from America, Europe and Japan. It was a gigantic list.

There are countless 1st party/2nd party exclussive develop for Sony exclussively in Japan. A lot of Japanse AE and AA games.

Most aren't game producers. And, given the ratio of exclusives, MS would need 4-5 times that many studios to catch up in exclusives.
