I'm going to hope one of them is The Last Guardian.

I think the PS3 is going to go out with a good sum of games (Including TLG), but these might be next gen titles.

This I really doubt. The lost the trademark rights for the name. This game will definetly kill Team Ico

nah it really is not that big of a deal...trademarks expire all the time (last year apparently versus trademark also expired). Someone here explained it really well..forgot who tho. Long story short, they have a certain amunt of time (I believe until next year) to prove they are still gonna use it in a meaningful way. No one can just buy the trademark just for the heck of it, they need to show valid reasons as well. So unless sony wants to change the name it's all good

besides sony confirmed the game is still in development post this news also

And to reclaim the trademark rights Sony will have to pay for it again. And these are again unnecesary expanses.

I don't think the expenses related to something like this is significant enough for sony to worry :D Team Ico will be around in the future as well I think. Sony japan needs some big changes. Sony understands this too, hence why they sent that guy who was in charge of santa monica over to Japan studios. So I'm hopeful. IF Team Ico can expand, and bring out games every 3 years or so, it will be a huge strength to sony.
