If they didn't believe they would sell (or gain universal acclaim from reviewers) they wouldn't fund them. I like Sony because I've never had a playstation break on me yet (though my PS3 freezes from time to time) and because they brought me FF8 and KH. |
Listen to flower interviews. The designers are calling it a poem, a forerunner of artistic expression in the medium. It's not for quirks sake. Hideo Kojima always reiterates that he wants to make games that make people think, that provide a commentary to reflect on. Team ICO has made more than one commercially unsuccessful game yet they still retain an unlimited budget eventhough the style of their games is obviously never going to make them very mainstream.
Sony reps themselves have said that they wish to make video games a valid platform for artistic expression in the mind of the public.
