Not to break the chain of replies, but the real-world experience I have with PS3 games boils down to two camps.
Camp 1 = Non-core gamers that play whats popular. I have a number of people on my friends list that bought their PS3 to play MW2. They play COD related games and the sales numbers show for it. When it comes to getting those people to play anything other than that series, they just are not "that" interested in games. Those people dont go to forums and post. They dont follow the scene. But they do take a decent share of the overall share of PS3 owners/players.
Camp 2 = Core gamers that may play popular games (COD etc..), but also follow what other games are around. Id consider myself one of these gamers. But time and time again, I see core gamers post about their backlog. I have a backlog of at least 10 games. I dont have time to play games to completion. So Ill gravitate towards playing 30 mins of Skate 3. Or on a good night, 2 hours of BF3.
Im totally interested in Uncharted 2 and 3. I want to finish Killzone 3 and Red Dead. Im slowing making my way through Fallout 3 and thats almost 4 years old. Fact is, I dont have the time I used to. So when a new game comes out that Id like, I tell myself Ill pick it up when its sub 20 bux and add it to the list of games that I know ill never make through.
Granted myself and most of the folks I know are in their mid 30's now Im sure the teens are a different story, but they likely dont have $$ to dump on AAA day one releases. The value that comes in these games now with multiplayer being the focus are soo incredibly long lasting its like why buy the next title if I still enjoy putting more hours into the titles I already own.

Sony Greatest Hits titles come with extra DLC you otherwise would have to buy. It's good if you're willing to shell $30 instead of $60.
