Agreed. I'd argue that Sony killed Free Radical more than Haze did. Sony's mistakes hurt some of these middling games. Haze needed to be on 360 as well to save the profit margin. It's just not a strong enough game to overcome the issues kind of "meh" software has moving on the smaller install base. Plus it came out at a time when people were interested in GT:Prologue and MGS4 and GTA IV, if I am not mistaken, and the platform couldn't move enough copies amidst all the more hyped and established franchises.
If the game were better, it may have helped a bit, but it got lost in the noise AND had so-so reviews and reaction, so it just died. They dropped the price, which helped sales, but the lost profit margin seems to have done them in. Add in the economy and they're screwed.
Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
