Well they could make their own kickstarter site and integrading it into the playstation store and ecosystem

I would support that, since it will help out smaller indies as well. However them using kickstarter itself sends a bad message. 

How does confirming consumer interest in the easiest possible way send a bad message? I'm not saying I like the Kickstarter campaign stuff, but at the same time, I get it. It's smart. It's a new way of gauging consumer interest that has been proven to work with other video game projects, two very significantly in just the past month. Kickstarter has proven itself as a viable platform for pitching projects. I get the complaints and fears, but I feel they're relatively unfounded right now. If we start seeing recent AAA title sequels end up in the Kickstarter box, I think some worry is warranted, but that will never happen.

Because a large company doesn't need kickstarter to know consumer interest, they have research abilities and other resources. They are also not strapped for cash on small kickstarter projects.
