Sony would need to put more money into marketing games than developing games. As a gamer (not a stockholder), I prefer they make variety, even if the sales and profits aren't as good. Sales / profits are secondary to me. Sometimes I feel on this site, people care more about the profits and sales than the games even when they don't see a cut of that personally.

It's striking a balance between the two though.

I agree with you, on a purely selfish level, I'd much rather then spent money developing games than marketing them.  Because I know where to go and look for information about them, so I don't need any marketing to make me a sale (wouldn't work anyway).

But on the flip side, if they keep making low-selling games which don't recoup their budgets, then eventually they're not going to have the money to make them anymore.  So they need to strike a balance between making a diverse selection of games and marketing the games so that people buy them, so they can continue making a diverse range of games in the future.

yeah I want sequels to games I enjoy or the developers to recieve the budget to make a bigger and better game.  If their game isn't successful because nobody knows it exists outside of gaming sites, then that won't happen
