Let me clear up some misconceptions here.


 * 1) Strangereal is not dead. See Strangereal.
 * 2) Ace Combat: Assault Horizon was not a failure at all. It is one of the best-selling Ace Combat games to this day (Infinity's download count doesn't count as sales). If you ask anyone who's never played Ace Combat until Assault Horizon, they will generally tell you that it was a very very fun game. Refer to Angry Joe's 8/10 + Bad-Ass Seal of Approval. However, if you ask anyone who's played the series and then played Assault Horizon, they will generally tell you that it was a horrible game. Why? Because it's not an Ace Combat game. I could go on and on about this, but my opinion is, they shouldn't have used "Ace Combat" in the title of the game. Too many people treat it as an Ace Combat game and give it a bad review because of that, and that's wrong. Review it on its gameplay and story and music, but not its title.
 * 3) Infinity is on the PS3 because all of Bandai Namco's free-to-play games are on the PS3. This is because the PS3 is the most popular console in Japan and still has games releasing for it all the way into 2015, and PlayStation is the best place for free-to-play. Before anyone says Xbox, Microsoft is not a fan of free-to-play games with a fuel system like Infinity. Before anyone says PC, the PC platform is a joke in Japan. PS3, again, is the most popular console in the country. That's why Infinity stays on there.
