its about abandoning the PS image to be more like XBOX.


You're missing the point. It's not about abadoning an image but having your Western developers cater to the Western audience. As the industry continues to change and evolve, so do the styles of developers to match the ever changing taste and expectations of the gaming public.



but consumer decide that outlaw, not developers ... and consumers have spoken ... KZ3, LBP, Resistance series, Infamous have ALL failed to meet the success to there predecessors and are in decline. Its also ignorant about western developers catering to a western audience for 2 reasons: as a developer you should be catering to as many ppl as possible regardless of region and then they wonder  why they cant penetrate japan..., and this western audience is not what made playstation.. playstation fans are not a western audience ... thats XBOX AKA point of my thread.

What exactly is LBP, Resistance, and Infamous' predecessors? Infamous did better than any Sly Cooper game (in fact, more than doubled the highest selling Sly), and the second entry will pass up Sly 1 soon to put that completely to rest.

I suppose you're comparing Resistance to Ratchet? Which would be silly considering Ratchet games were still made this generation and outdone by the Resistance series (despite the second game being a giant turd).

Killzone is an absolutely awful example. KZ2 did nearly 4 times more than KZ, and while KZ3 didn't do as much as KZ2, that has to do with diminshing returns of sequels on the same console. (despite that, it still did nearly 3 times more than the original on PS2)



??? Ill be more i was talking about KZ3 to KZ2, LBP2- LBP ext ..not comparing to previous IP's

even more clear edit - the latest installments in ech of those series have sold far less then there predecessors

forgot forgot abot MNR.. that just bombed
