He's talking out his butt re: Silent Hill. The three games play to totally different markets and different demographics.
Downpour is for the people who regularly buy the new titles as they come out, and that's expected to be the big seller.
Nobody at Konami expects the HD collection to sell hotcakes; that's for longterm fans who want to have a copy they can play on the PS3, now that their PS2s have likely breathed their last. They probably won't take a loss on that, because knowing it will only sell to a niche group of nostalgists, they aren't going to press a million of them.
And as for BoM, sorry to burst your bubble, Jim, but most people who wander around with handhelds do not spend as much time with consoles, and vice-versa. There are legions of kids who will probably end up with BoM, and like it, since it is an actioner and not the cerebral trip the console games (which those kids likely avoid) are. That's called targeting a different demographic, and it's a sound business decision.
Understandably, when one is a man of great ego with a webcast and a load of fans slavering to hear one's loudly proclaimed (and wrongheaded) opinions, one has a difficult time drowning out one's voice from one's head long enough to actually consider what one is saying before he says it. But in this case, one was so wrong about what one was saying, that it caused this one to shut that one's bellowing off before even half the webcast got through.
Oh, also, so what if exuberant people for whom English is not a first language wanted to get in on the fun? The way you complain about it makes you sound like a racist. To be frank.
