Back at E3 everyone was saying the PS3 would eat the other consoles alive for the holidays because of the great exclusive content...

PS All Stars, LBP Karting, and Last of Us... Plus Wonder Books for the casuals...

Last of Us ended up being a title for next year, LBP Karting, PS All Stars are both flops... Wonder Books is non-existent.

I think PS All Stars and LBP Karting are good games. But, I can't help but think that PSN Plus people are sitting there thinking... "Why buy it when it will show up free in a few months?". As much as PSN Plus has helped Sony fund their network services, I also think the free games part has to be affecting sales of key games like these. I have pretty much stopped buying PS3 games... I just wait for the monthly list and accept the freebies as my PS3 collection now.

How can you call a game a flop if it hasn't even been out for more then two weeks? 

This is "the" PS3 exclusive for the holidays.  It has been talked about for months as of the characters have ben revealed... And after week one (on the biggest shopping weekend in North America) it didn't crack 200,000 in sales.  I may be proven wrong and people may start buying this game in droves, but then you can say you told me so...  Typically games don't sell more from week to week from their first week sales...   Given that this and LBP Katring are the only two holiday exclusives from Sony for the PS3, I would expect far better sales.  Its a flop, and that is a pity because they are both good games from what I have seen...
