I just got through reading this article. My favorite piece: (This is very much a 'Sony game'). Not only do I agree that it is, but I'm glad they mention that. Give better insight into Sony's tastes when it comes to sales. They prefer these artsy, story-driven games that don't do 10-20 million in sales, not even 5. They just prefer the top-notch quality, which as a gamer is most important.

Thats like totally not true. You're just spinning the fact that they haven't had a few massive sellers by saying 'oh they wanted it that way'. If they had released 2-3 5M + sellers you'd be singing another completely different tune 'gamers just respond well to quality Sony first party titles' or something like that. If SCE could make a game equivalent series of Spiderman they would!

It isn't? You can prove that it isn't, even when the article itself hints at it? Where in there do I say that they don't want high sales? I said the games they prefer don't sell those huge numbers. Sounds to me like an agenda you had in quoting me.

CGI, wouldn't you say that GTAIV is an artsy, story-driven game? how about MGS4? They are both top notch quality games as well. I'm not sure how Sony's inability to have a huge seller is related to that since top quality artsy story driven games are proven that they can be big sellers.

Also, I'm pretty sure Sony prefers games selling huge numbers like GT5 (widely considered the biggest Sony franchise) but it's just that they can't find/create any other game/franchise as big as GT.
