Well that's just silly.
I mean first off... even if that was true, which I don't believe it is... I wouldn't call Playstations huge back catalog of games a joke.
Secondly, i'm going to guess Sony talked to publishers before they decided to announce and launch the thing. I mean that'd make sense right?
Third, really past the first 6 months, sales drop off a lot anyway... and the new people exposed to your game that wouldn't of bought it builds up attention and demand for your sequel/similar games.
It's basically the same effects as software piracy + Cash.
