Sony Computer Entertainment president Andrew House has spoken out to boast that his company is more committed to creating new intellectual properties than others, though he did not name any names. Following the launch of the PlayStation 4, House told MCV that gamers are more likely to buy into the platform if they know content, including new IP, is coming down the road.

"In terms of sheer breadth and depth, we are in a better shape in terms of third-party support for this console launch than certainly any I've ever launched," House said. "We are more committed to new IP establishment and delivery than most other platform holders out there."

Overall, he described the creation of new IP as "critically important" to the vitality of the PlayStation ecosystem.

Sony's major new franchise for the PS4 is The Order: 1886, an action adventure game set in an alternate universe. Killzone developer Guerrilla Games is also working on a new IP, described as "completely different" than the shooter series the studio is known for.

Third-party new IP coming to PS4 in 2014 includes Tom Clancy's The Division, Watch Dogs, and Destiny. The PS4 launched on November 15 in North America and has sold more than 2.1 million systems to date.
