I'm betting that the PS3's big franchises will meet the same fate as the Gamecube's big franchises - in that, they'll sell to the core audience that they'd normally sell to and nobody else.
As for Killzone 2, who was it that said that, despite the pretty graphics, the gameplay is decidedly "last-gen"? (And even then, Crysis on a top-of-the-line machine still looks better...)
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
