Hello, I would like to congratulate you for stating the most obvious reason ^-^

I get where you are coming from, but the large majority of COD players wouldn't even know how to lift a real rifle. The majority are kids and adults that like to play the fantasy of being a badass soldier. It is STILL a fantasy, but one more grounded in reality. Not only that, but North America uses its military like a propaganda machine. Their commercials make it look "COOL" to be part of the military/navy/airforce/etc. You find military men at public fairs/bazaars/etc showing their tech/tactics to public audiences, many of which are children. I mean, it is pounded into these poor kids' heads that being part of this monstrous machine is honorable and cool. Let's be honest, COD wouldn't be what it is if it isn't for the mindless love of the military, going abroad and killing brown people. It is actually quite disgusting how fascinated they are by that whole prospect.

Breaking Bad is produced and owned by Sony Pictures. That is the reason why AMC couldn't cut budget like they did with The Walking Dead.

Uncharted: Great franchise with high production values. Got great sales.

Killzone/Resistance: Average FPS games. Got average sales.

Heavy Rain: Unique franchise got better than expected sales.

inFamous: Mediocre game. Got mediocre sales.

LBP1: Unique and fun. Good sales.

LBP2: More of the same. Weaker sales.

I know Sony releases a lot of games that are only on Playstation. Sony fans hype them up but, from my experience, most of the time, these games just are not worthy of that hype. You want to know why Sony's first party games don't sell as well as you'd like? It's because third party games are often better. Would you want to buy inFamous 2 or Batman Arkham City? Killzone or Call of Duty? It's good that Sony tries to fill out its library but if they aren't the best of the best, what's the point? The games sell right about where I think they should.

I can't really disagree with this. It's a form of fantasy for adults, but one that taps into the world of reality.

It's also been pre-marketed by political propaganda, so part of the work is already done. Apart from that, it just fits better into american culture than GoW would, in general.

They also made an Uncharted Motion Comic, the Eye of Indra.

InFamous is the second best superhero franchise on the market. The only Super Hero franchise that is better is batman, but InFamous has better cinematics and set pieces.

LBP 2 was not more of the same. Have you played the two games?  Killzone is an above average shooter in an age where shooters thrive on another console. Killzone 2 averaged a 91 and 3 a 84 which is far from bad when you average out the scores.  Little Big Planet 2 averaged 91 Metacritic score, and Little big planet  scored a 95. PS3 exclusives on average out score the multiplatform competition and generally have more exclusives than 360 in a given year on a first party front.

If anything, majority of these exclusives just lack the extra zing compare to alternative choices?

Do you have any proof for your claim though? I don't doubt it helped sales, but by how much? A significant amount? I doubt it; I think it probably helped with player retention as well as networks paying for the cartoons. Also you are forgetting massive problems with current game titles: the age restrictions. Why have a God of War cartoon when you have to be over 18 to buy it?

what they need is a cartoon series with Ratchet and Clank
