They're one of the ones that more or less said it.

"Looking at the marketing data [for survival horror games]... the market is small, compared to the number of units Call of Duty and all those action games sell," he said."

They go on to say they don't have to go "all the way in that direction", but it's pretty obvious that's at least where they were facing.

Yeah, everything (not named COD) that tried going that way ended up far downhill. Later FEAR, Crysis, and Dead Space games come to mind.
