This is what I mean. Just throwing the label "savior' on a bunch of games really hurts the image of those games and their developers after release. Even when they exceed publisher sales expectations and get great reviews, they'll never live up to the forum hype they were given. This just leads to more negative press and "it haz no gaemz" threads and media articles.
Killzone 2 for example was a great game. Sold well and got an 90+ metacritic. Because it didn't launch with a 1 million HW sales week and sell 5M lifetime a lot of people consider that game a flop. I've seen many posts calling that franchise a waste because of the expectations that were on KZ2. SONY clearly doesn't see it that way, though. Killzone3 happened. Killzone:Merc is happening. Some people actually think GG got help from devs like Naughty Dog to make KZ3 as impressive as it was even though GG has gone on record to say that KZ3 was fully in house. Guerrilla Games has only been expanding since KZ2. SONY's even put GG in charge of another SONY studio (Cambridge Studio, now known as Guerrilla Cambridge).
