Yes, sequals do matter.

Nintendo still doomed?

Nintendo LOVES it's sequels! That's half of why they continue to be popular!
Last gen Ninty had many new ip's (Animal Crossing, Pikmin) , so I hope we get some of those clever like titles this gen as well!

The blockbuster PS3 sequels are hitting later than compared to Nintendo (which IMO mainly has Mario Kart left as proven exclusive blockbuster franchise for this year) and Microsoft (having already launched all major sequels, but had success with introducing Gears which will see a sequel this year).

Sony mainly experiemented with new franchices up until now and companies released lesser anticipated exclusive sequels. However they are about to arrive across 2008/2009.

The way I see it any PS3 sold this year is more profitable (or less loss giving) than a PS3 console sold around launch or last year, high profile exclusive sequels may also hurt not yet established franchices somewhat and 3rd party efforts. So this may well be somewhat intentional, getting production costs down and providing some extra time to polish the big guns.

Holy mother of god, that is some excellent spin. They got production costs down by selling less consoles and they sent the new IP's out to die while providing extra time to polish the big guns. And of course they sold as few Blu-Ray players as possible... only just enough to beat HD-DVD. What a goddamn awesome plan, and it all came together perfectly!

LOL, Sony's CFO even joked about this claiming losses would have been higher if they sold more consoles early on.

What new IPs were sent out to die? I believe Resistance, Motorstorm and Uncharted did well, combined selling of 6 million copies. As for kicking HD DVD's ass, it did the job.

I agree that sequels matter because at the very least they matter to me. When I play an awesome game I would not like for it to end once and for all after the game has been completed after a few hours.

There must be some more awesome adventures for my favorite game characters.
