I think the critical error of a large portion of the videogame industry (Sony included) was they looked at a handful of games that had amazing sales and tried to emulate their success ... While they probably wouldn't phrase it this way, there was a belief that the majority of gamers who had never shown an interest in these kinds of games before would rush out to buy them if they only had better graphics and were in HD.
