People are way too quick to use Call of Duty as a barometer for how all PS3/360 sales are. That series is an exception to the rule. Yearly sports titles and... big name IPs we have known about for several years may succeed as well....but a lot of "HD" games are bombin hard.
Castlevania, Vanquish, Dead to Rights, Prince of Persia (twice), Dead Rising 2, Splinter Cell, Lost Planet 2, Metro 2033, Darksiders, Nier, Kane & Lynch 2, Alpha Protocol, Alan Wake, Supreme Commander 2, World of Outlaws, Split/Second, Blur, Enslaved, Transformers... shoot.
You can make a case against me if you want, but look at the sales for these bad boys; many of which had 100 man teams, and tell me they succeeded...
Has Nintendo learned their lesson from user-generated games that failed and "core" games cater to a niche too small? I don't know. The 3DS is receiving a lot of core games, and that may throw us all off initially....but that is just the handheld receiving an amount of content that matches its expectations from 3rd parties that messed up royally before.
