PS3 games have proven to have some pretty serious legs. Look at the numbers for Heavenly Sword. Heck Haze and Lair actually haven't done that bad at this point, either.

I agree. But ONLY over the years. High budget games like Heavy Rain. From a developer thats mostly lived of there technology. They can't afford a 100 k worldwide opening.
And LAIR and HAZE even though still selling. Did not help Factor 5 and Free Radical either.

Like I said above, both F5 and FR should have had publishers paying for other projects before Lair and Haze even shipped. Honestly this doesn't have much to do with Sony or the PS3 at all. It has to do with bad business decisions on the part of F5 and FR.

Euhm.. I never said anything about this going to be a Anti Sony/PS3 thread. But that Quantic Dream could go the same direction. Just because Sony wont be able to help them if things go wrong.

My point is that QD has their own survival in their hands, just like F5 and FR did. They should have another project in the works already. If Heavy Rain flops, sure that'll be a mar on their record. But their survival shouldn't depend on it. Their survival depends upon their business practices.
If Heavy Rain gets bad reviews, that will hurt future contracts... but like I said, they should already have new contracts signed by the time it ships.
