Ehh, I didn't say all of them were bankable I just said 2 titles were a little low. 
But even as such, it just seemed like you implied that thier internal games won't net them some returns. The Playstation line never had to depend on "killer apps" (did I bring this up before?) that seemed like a phrase that entered in this last generation along with the xbox, who really refers to a game as an app? Anyhoo, ppoint I am trying to make is only the Xbox fans seem to make an arguement about killer apps. Look at the top selling games for the PS1 and the PS2 take away the top 5 and what do you have left? how many still sold over a million? how many different genre's are represented there? Now go to the Xbox or the 360, take way the top 3 ( Ill be lenient) and what do you have left?
It is a simple fact the the PS lineup of games are stronger. what makes me such a fan is the surprises. The games that come out and completely amaze me. I see none of that happening on the xbox and seriously none of that happening on the 360. As far as future goes I fell my trust is still placed with PS line just because of established and prospective titles as well.
Staticneuron you completely missed my point. Basically its this. If Sony doesn't have the best third party support they are screwed. Sony can't carry the Playstation brand by themselves. My killer app argument is dead on. Killer apps push system sales. Higher systems sales allow for a company to maintain or increase their third party support. Sony won't get much if any returns on their internal games without key exclusives pushing PS3 hardware sales.
