It debuted on the Wii? Seriously though, since when has the PS3 been FPS starved? It doesn't have a flood of them, but it had a fair few out when the game was released this year. It was along way from starved seeing as how CoD4 and Orange Box had recently been released on it.

I think they could have mitigated the disaster with it probablt, but it wouldn't have sold much better anywhere. The game just wasn't that good. Multi-platform likely would have been a better call, and might have helped them stave off this current problem for a bit longer. Anything more than that is extremely unlikely though.
@Coolest
The usual suspects around here did hype it as the Halo killer. No one took them seriously of course, but it was eventually generalized to a common saying. It was massively over-hyped like many PS3 exclusives early on.
