It's impossible to make money on PS3 without 4M+ plus sales. PS3 is doomed.

Out of the 30 or so games published by Activision for the PS3, only ONE game passed 4 million, the next drops to 1.9 million

The average game on the PS3 if you take out GH and COD sells about 250,000 copies. It would actually be a GOOD business move for Activision to drop every game PS3 game, other than CoD and GH which do make them money.

Thats an interesting list. I tried looking for them earlier, but I didn't realise that Activision covered both the pre and post merger. But yeah I would have to agree that they would have been better off not making anything other than COD and GH3 for the PS3.

Geesh, why are you supporting the ridiculous "4M+" statement? It's blatantly false for all but the most expensive exclusive games imaginable.
