It's possible I'm confusing the story with the story about the original LOTRO trilogy (as i recall the story, he pushed it as either one or two films originally, when he was going from studio to studio and getting rejected over-and-over; nobody wanted to do a franchise, and he was shocked when new line said "make it 3!"), but I've been under the impression that the move to 3 films (for The Hobbit) was studio-driven, regardless of what's being said publicly. Could be wrong. The other thing I do remember is that he did say at one point they had tons of extra footage that they weren't using, enough for a third movie.

In any case, if he is the driving force behind it, I don't think it's about greed. For him. For the studio on the other hand....
