PLAYSTATION 3: Lack of Multiplatform/Movie/TV Games?

I've noticed throughout times that the PLAYSTATION 3 lacks a certain type of multiplatform game, or a movie or TV game. Some of these games, even though we do not play them, attract a younger audience as well.

I'm talking about games such as:

- Jumper: Griffin's Story (X360, PS2, Wii)
- Bully: Scholarship Edition (X360, Wii)
- Space Chimps (X360, PS2, Wii, DS)
- The Spiderwick Chronicles (X360, PS2, Wii, DS, PC)
- Avatar: The Burning Earth (X360, PS2, Wii, DS, GBA)
- Bee Movie (X360, PC, Wii)
- Crash of the Titans (X360, Wii, PS2, DS)
- Rayman Raving Rabbids (X360, Wii)
- Crash: Invasion of the Bandicoot Snatchers (X360, Wii, PS2, PSP, DS)
- Thrillville: Off the Rails (X360, PS2, PSP, Wii, DS, PC)

And much more. Personally though, I'd like to play Jumper as I really enjoyed the movie.

Now I ask, why do companies only bring these kind of games to the Wii, PS2, and Xbox 360, but don't include a PLAYSTATION 3 version. The Xbox 360 is just as "family oriented" as the PLAYSTATION 3, so whats the problem? Top of that, the other consoles seem to get a constant flow of casual games as well, while all we have to wait for is those big releases. The thing is those consoles have more third-party support than the PLAYSTATION 3 does, and thats what it needs.

Bionic Commando: Rearmed was just announced by Capcom to be hitting our PLAYSTATION Stores this May 2008. The great news comes from Cacpom representatives during the Game Developers Conference 2008.

1UP reports that the PLAYSTATION Network version of the game will feature higher resolution textures than the Xbox Live Arcade version due to Microsoft's file-size restrictions. It's nice to know we are getting the better game another time around.
