Getaway was just a GTA ripoff in the end; with GTA IV's blockbuster sales and reviews there is no reason to push another game like it on the market, it simply will not sell.

That's right. Sony doesn't need it at all, just like rumble.

Rumble is a bit bigger than a lesser versino of a video game that is out and breaking all records. Sony is making sure they are profitablle from now on. To do this they need to make sure there biggest launchs come with the proper funds to fine tune them and not be delayed. They also need something to attract causal gamers(thought I disagree with them doing so this gen) it's obviously what the suits want. We also don't know how far along these games were; if they were stagnating or not where they were suppose to be in the development cycle than that is plenty good reason to shift resources elsewhere.

 

Pos	Game	Console	Publisher	Hits	Score	Sales
1		The Getaway: Black Monday		Sony Computer Entertainment	1,258	7.82	1.67m
2		The Getaway		Sony Computer Entertainment	1,090	7.78	3.37m

The first one had OK numbers but the 2nd? The effects of GTA clearly showed its infuence on the game. 1mill for a sanbox game like the getaway is most likely not worth it in sony's eyes.
