I know. 
I was looking at the charts.
I wasn't really talking about franchise growth. It's more about brand strength. Sony pulled out 3 brand new franchises that look like they are going to be huge (Horizon, GoT, Days Gone).
I don't think it's a universal thing. It's definitely happened with a portion of the market. GTA is way bigger than ever.
There is a collection of games that have blown up in the past gen, and there are a number of games that haven't had that spike. MS for example hasn't seen this kind of brand growth.
Sony has taken over their best sellers list, MS's best sellers list is probably more dominated by third party than PS2's list is.
