BioShock Infinite and Dead Space 3. They most likely put an end to both IPs.

Dead Space 3 was awful, so low sales were warranted.

Oh, come on, Dead Space 3 is not that bad. I mean, of course it's not as scary as the previous entries, but it's still a decent action game.

Funny how some consider SSBU a fail even though it sold more than some exclusive games on ps4, like Infamous, which stands at about 2.2 million with a much larger install base.

I played it before the other two and didn't like it. It had good moments but it dragged on and had poor design.

As an action game, I think it's decent. As a horror game, it's pretty bad.
