Well imo Sonys games doesn't have that "wow" factor like Zelda and Halo. I am not saying i don't like them, hell Ico and Shadow of the Colossus is 2 of my favorite games, also UC2 is probably my favorite exclusive of this generation so far. But i don't know, they just don't have "it", the biggest Playstation games always used to be 3rd party, now when they lost all 3rd parties except Konami, they don't have their killer apps anymore.

The brand hasn't ever been just about a few 'killer apps". Final Fantasy, Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Solid, Tekken are just some of the franchises that helped the PlayStation along. Lest we forget the likes of Legend of Dragoon, Twisted Metal, God of War, Gran Turismo, Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, and many MANY other PlayStation-only franchises that continue to shape the brand. I don't get why 10-20mill in sales (per franchise) is what Sony needs in order to have a line-up that's considered "acceptable".

The amount of gaming content poured into all 3 PlayStation generations is probably more than any other brand has ever supplied. Even without it's once 3rd Party exclusives, the brand is still spoiled with many, MANY types of genres/franchises/content. Why do gamers (or people who call themselves gamers) suddenly pretend like that doesn't matter?

Because it isn't what people want.  Game companies should cater to people, and if it's not what they want it is reflected in sales.

If you are going to try something new, it'd better be a lot more fun/better than what everybody else is playing, otherwise nobody will give a shit.  Games do have a crowding out effect, time is limited and nobody is going to waste it dicking around with low tier shit.
