Can somebody explain how a company can just abandon their franchises like this?

You should have talked about Syphon Filter/Medeaval (always spell that skeleton game name wrong), Wipeout, Ape escape, Jax and daxter, Legend of Dragoon and going on....because I really want a new ape escape....legend of Dragoon, Jax and daxter following next..
