Pretty much spot on, this is a good message going forward, put a great game out on PS360 and it'll sell well, a win win for everyone!

Tell that to Black Rock or Bizarre Creations. ;)

Quality alone will never sell something, especially on the HD systems.  Hell, Blur even had a HUGE marketing campaign and it still epic bombed.... there's always going to be more factors at play.

Black Rock? Seriously? Well... Okay. Pure sold over 3 Million units. Split/Second has sold over 500k since it released in May. I think both of them have sold well but, 'sup to you.

As for Bizarre Creations...

Project Gotham Racing 3 - 1.4 Million
PGR4 - 2 Million
Blur - 440k

Blur released in May, so it hasn't even had a Holiday season to sell in yet. Will easily pass 500k though so it's not too bad. Certainly not a bomb

500K in an HD console is a flop. Even 1 million is if the game itself involves budgets above the average. Blur and Split Second are flops. Huge ones.

If the games have sold that bad during all this time, the holiday season won't help much with both HD platforms loaded with massive game launches.
