If gamers reacted the way you're suggesting, there would be no Playstation brand because because people would have waited for their games to be released on the Sega Saturn or N64 ...
A high percentage of copies of high profile games are sold to people who have little loyalty to the series; these people buy the game because it is a high profile game in a genre they're interested in on a platform they already own. This is the main reason why games like Mario Party 8 can be the worst game in the series and still be the best selling game in the series.
I can make a list that demonstrates that EVERY PS3 game has sold to 1/2 (or typically far less) the level that their PS2 counterparts did; the fact is that there is nothing that ensures these PS3 games will sell to nearly the level that they did on the PS2, and there is nothing saying they will move hardware beyond the level that the big releases the XBox 360 has had.
