Matt really cherry-picked in that article. He says:
"The Godfather. Scarface. Manhunt 2. More recently, House of the Dead: Overkill. All underperformers, to say the least."
Nevermind that Manhunt 2 didn't sell well on the PS2 either and that HofD:O just released and is too early to tell. I personally don't know much about Scarface or Godfather.
But notice how he didn't mention either RE or Call of Duty: WaW... They would've pimp slapped his argument.
