Very smart move, you cant milk a dead cow. If you want milk you have to get a new one.

Kinda reinforces my belief that you cant just pump out exclusives and expect the gamers to love you. You need fewer, but more memorable exclusives....games that the public actually cares about.
But with this, the Vita game pretty much clinched it.
Reading the quote, it doesn't sound like he's saying 'we're abandoning Resistance', but rather 'we don't know what we're gonna do with the series at the moment'.
No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.
I'm really sad to hear this, for those of you who say the series couldn't develop into a universe, Resistance: Retribution and Resistance 2 open up a hole world of possibilities. There are so many story lines they could do with the Cloven, the original Chimera (not hybrids!), the race which the Chimera fought for Earth X many years ago. I even preferred Resistance to Killzone :/

I've liked the way Sony handled it this gen. They had those "memorable," mass-appeal, high-sellers like the Uncharted series, Gran Turismo 5, God of War 3/ascension, LBP and MGS4. TLOU has some great selling potential to. But along with those they had some great niche titles like Heavy Rain, Resistance series, Killzone series and countless PSN games. I would say all they need to do is replace LBP and MGS4 with 2 other big sellers (since MM has stopped on LBP and MGS may never be platform exclusive again), keep Uncharted, GOW and Gran Turismo going and keep delivering the decent, 2m-ish sellers. They are clearly profitable, and together they can drive people to buying the system.

Agree with this. I don't understand why someone would say that Sony are 'pumping out exclusives' that the general public don't care about. They've carried on God of War & Gran Turismo from previous gens, and built LittleBigPlanet and Uncharted from the ground up for this gen. Exactly the same number of mass-appeal games as Microsoft, in fact (Halo, Fable, Forza, Gears).
Just because they've got smaller, more niche games in the mix doesn't mean they haven't got the mass appeal games too.

This.
Sales show Resistance should come to an end. However, fans should see, by the ending of Resistance 3, that it's a respectable conclusion to the Resistance franchise. They could make more spinoffs or prequels but Burning Skies didn't turn out so well, and such games yell milk imo. Same thing with other franchises; I won't name any but some were better off ending big than rather cash in.

It's a good idea to end the franchise. Resistance was a good new IP, it sold good, but its time is over. There are plenty of other FPS, and there's no point in continue this series.
I still have to play a Resistance game, I was/am interested in it because it's made by Insomniac, but I'm not into FPS, maybe someday when a Trilogy Collection will be available....

Agree, it's better not ruin a saga.
