I would love to hear how you came up with that conclusion.

The way I see it.

Nearly double the price, only 10k less in sales.

 

How that equates to "sinking ship" though is beyond me.

Why don't you ask Factor 5 or Free Radical whether the PS3 is a sinking ship. Their PS3 exclusives sank the company. If only they would have developed Wii or even 360 games, they might still be in business today.

Also, look at the market share of Sony's platforms. The PS2 sold 120 million... nearly six times more than the Xbox or the Gamecube. Coming from an overwhelmingly dominant position to last among major consoles is not exactly encouraging to Sony, who expected people to get a second job just to afford their console.

All of this is obvious and should go without saying on this, a videogame sales website. I'm somewhat amazed that you're trying to deny reality in this way.

So if Haze and Lair, two horribly reviewed games, were multiplatform they would have then been huge financial successes?    I don't see how the PS3 can be blamed for two developers horribly overspending on poor quality games.  If they were two high-quality games that did not sell on the PS3, then you would have a valid point.

That would be equivalent of blaming the 360 for poor sales of Too Human.
