The reason I hate any kind of reporting is because it gets gamers talking about garbage that doesn't matter, much less things we have expertise on.

Looking at that lineup, I can't say it was bad. It's just hard to make games just below the top tier (Sleeping Dogs, Hitman: Absolution) make a splash. I think if they dedicated 5 or so teams to churning out 3-4 RPGs on HD consoles every year they'd be alright. They shouldn't be going half-ass with a little bit on console, a little bit on handheld, a little bit on mobile, a little bit onilne. Go hard on one and put a few things on another. Publishing can take care of the rest.
