For the same reason American Idol is the most watched show in the United States, the masses crave lowest common denominator tripe, they eat it up. The same goes for the videogame industry, anything that is artistic, beautiful, or god forbid, unique and different has an uphill battle ahead of it. Factor in a total lack of promotion on Sony's part and the cards are stacked even further against these titles. Furthermore, players these days demand action right at the get go, else the ADD kicks in, there is no time anymore for slow burners or games that delay their reward, give me redundant explosive action and give it to me now, and sustain it for 8-10 hours! If you want big sales numbers you dumb it down, make another derivative fps or a casual sports game. Fact of the matter is, that high sales numbers do not equate quality, if that were the case then logic would dictate that GM makes the best cars and Mc Donalds makes the best hamburgers, which of course is not true.
