Why don't certain Ps3 games (Infamous series) sell good?

Ironically, PS3 gamers are adopting the 360 tier 1, tier 2, tier 3 approach.

GT5, Uncharted, Gof of War. Same as 360 Halo, Gears, Forza.

Literally everything else outside the 3 tiers sells "meh" at best and/or sales have dropped drastically after a games first release. Aka Infamous, Motorstorm, LBP. Same with Fable, Crackdown, etc.

Some PS3 gamers applaud Sony for their variety, but it can't last forever. Sony sees that their new IPs tend to sell below expectations....expect many more games in Sonys 3 Tiers next gen.

Nah that happens in every generation

Look at MGS2 then look at MGS3 (ps2)

Look at FF7 then look at FF8 (ps1)

Look at Metroid Prime then look at Metroid Prime 2 (GC)

Look at Mario Galaxy then look at Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)

Look at Project Gotham Racing then look at Project Gotham Racing 2

 

There are some exceptions though when the 2nd game does better than the 1st though

Its easy to name examples but the tier 3 approach seems to be taking hold. 3 franchises per console that refuse to drastically drop off in sales.
