They are not dumb, but your rant is and heres why.

- Getting into bidding war with MS(alot richer then sony) for NG2 would really be "dumb"on their part, especially when you can use that money to fund God of War a far more bigger more important title.

- No one gave a damn about Enchanted Arms, R6 Vegas or even Graw2. Old 360 ports do not sale well, getting Saints Row or Dead Rising would make no business sense at all right now. Getting the sequels is what matters.

- They kept the important exclusives like MGS and Final Fantasy. Yet your complaining about second rate games, are you serious or just that bored.

They may seem second rate to you but there not to me. Saints Row Looks really fun and I love the GTA games. The only thing I like more then GTA games are Zombie games and Dead Rising is my calling card. Truthfully thought MGS is overhyped. I like the game but its not a perfect game series. Same with Final Fantasy, I dont get why people like the battle system. The only reason I play those games is because of the great story mostly. Thats why I didnt like XII.

Your justifying your like for those games by saysing FF or MGS is overrated, its not helping your cause here. You dont matter that much, your a tiny minority. The majority of gamers care alot about FF or MGS, they dont give a damn about old 360 games. Its just cold hard business reality, and sony is doing whats better for their business.

Iam sure you can trade in your PS3 for a 360 and couple games, you should do that just based on your post.

 

Lets look at the quote directly below you, because it makes an interesting comparison

Shooters, zombie thrillers and shooter-based action games are 15% of the total gaming market, maybe less. Sony is doing the right thing, by creating a long-lasting machine and investing in a broad range of franchises.

Those games you mention, MGS, FF, ect that are suposedly "important" sold to less than 15% of PS2 and PS1 owners, respectivly. Even the mighty GT sold to under 15% of the PS2 install base. 

People who care about FF are the tiny minority of gamers. Hell, even Halo, Bioshock, ect are the minority.

The thing thats important is how fast a console sells. The better it sells, the more 3rd party support it gets and the more "niche" games it gets, so a mother can buy her kid a console for Cars. Price is usually the determining factor in this, but first and thrid party support is intially important to get those "core" gamers on board.
