The Resistance and Socom games all tanked, but there are countless others too. Sony keeps buying up developers, spending millions on publishing exclusives and then they tank. You mentioned just a few, but even a rep from Sony stated they need to slow down on 1st party exclusives.
This generation was Sony's to lose. They lost it, Nintendo won and Microsoft is a real threat now. The era of Sony owning the console space has ended. Nintendo may live over in Nintendo land, but the part of the market that Sony dominated for two generations has split and it's not going to be mended any time soon. Microsoft would have to screw up big to lose the momentum they have garnered. All that mind-share that Sony lost this gen will be very difficult to get back.
In my opinion Sony needs to do three things to be profitable next gen.
1. Produce only a few high quality exclusives per year, like MS.
2. Use cheap off the shelf parts for their console, like Nintendo.
3. Abandon the handheld market.
If they do that they will be able to make back the money they lost this generation.
