Simple financial down spiral, plus your example is based on Sony making a calculated guess at how well a game will sell and allotting a fixed development fee. This is not always the case and some game developers are actually paid more on a royalty based system (all things are to be honest) so either way the devs lose out. It's just a case of when.

Of course Sony and Microsoft and to a less extent Nintendo have the game devs by the b***s cause if Sony and Microsoft quit PS3 & Xbox the devs will go bankrupt but sony and microsoft will be fine with there other stuff.
