Can Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, and FF XIII turn things around?

Dont forget that the PS2 had a much larger installed base than the original xbox. putting FF 12 sales on Fable or xbox splinter cell on PS2 mgs isnt reasonable for that matter. Remeber, even ratchet sold 3-4 million on each iteration on the PS2 but it doesnt seem to be pushing the ps3 hardware too much

And the reason was? Metal Gear Solid 2, Gran Turismo 3, and Final Fantasy X. Final Fantasy X sold nearly 8 million units. And all three came out within Sony's PS2 first and early second year. While Fable came late in the last generation ( a year + before 360 launch). I compared those numbers (FFXII and Fable) because they were within the same timeframe.
