This article makes it look like SONY were the underdogs throughout the whole gen which is lies. And isn't it sad that a FPS game that the MS with the XBOX popularized(FPS games) is the so called savior for the PS3. Ironic.

Also pathetic for SONY. What happened with all those amazing PS2 games that were from every possible genre. Looks like MS was right to stick with the shooters genre as even SONY is trying to capture the market

That's a terrible article.

He quotes us but still gets it wrong.

Sony deserves it for being a condescending prick to their consumers. Telling their consumers that "You will work the extra hours to buy this system". I didn't work extra hours to buy anything. I bought it because I can.

Halo Killer? Dude Halo 3 sold like 4-5 times what Killzone 2 did week 1.

Here is why this article fails:

A. The use of the phrase "and the trophy support stellar." when describing the major attributes of the game.

B. The absence of LBP being mentioned, in order to fit their argument, which is proof of cherrypicking.

C. The lack of comparison when reviewing the sales success of Killzone 2. The casual audience would be mislead into believe this game sold at Halo levels.

D. The buzzword style phrase "this console generation," which the author includes in order to alleviate objections from PC enthusiasts.

E. The fanboy presumption that indicates that Killzone 2 set the standard for quality this generation, when there have been arguably better and certainly equal games already released on the PS3 months ago.

F. The fanboy assertion that games ported from the Xbox 360 are inferior, because they don't take advantage of teh Cell.

G. The misunderstanding of the "lag complaint" about Killzone 2 from fans, ignorantly believing that it is simply a misunderstanding of control calibration.

H. The assertion that LBP, God of War, and Gran Turismo aren't bankable, marketable franchises.

I. Basing this phrase off one game with infinite funding and development time, "Guerilla games has truly outdone themselves and refashioned their profile into one of a premier developer."

J. His sales numbers and assumptions seem to be misleading, if not incorrect.

K. This might delve into opinion, but Killzone 2 is not the game to beat this generation. Crysis has better graphics, Halo 3 has better sales, and 10 games in the last 3 months have better reviews. Killzone 2 isn't even the best game on the Playstation 3 by a significant margin.

L. This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read, "The experience that this team has gained in utilizing the cell processor will hopefully be traded amongst all of the internal development studios at Sony." The author is obviously a Sony fan.

This isn't bombs, bricks, and bullets, this is biased bullshit.

Can we please stop posting every Sony fanblog that N4G.sony.com pukes out, please ffs?

^ lbp was not mention due the game didn't have a well tracked first week it didn have the boom a game like kz2 msg4 or gta4 had.
but it sold well over 2 million and that is awesome, you that the case LBP was rated in meta/gameranking better than halo, gears , FF .
he didn't mention god of war 3 gt5 because they have not been released yet. if
Sales != Quality
unless you believe nintendogs its the better game than ocarina of time in quality.

halo 3 doesn't look like kz2 or have the same polish.
and killzone 2 will have better sales than crysis
and crysis wouldn't look the same if was on the 360 or the ps3.

what are you doing here anywhere? i am yet to see you playing kz2 or lbp on the psn to comment on quality of a gamer you never have play or ever will.

guerilla with sony did get to use cell great, the particles, lights, smoke and deferred rendering are done by the SPU in a way no other sony or studio have done before.
adn they state the killzone 2 engine will be user for future sony development titles.

deferred rendering was used in LBP too.

"...and the trophy support stellar"
I stopped reading at that point. You can't argue that a forced feature is a feature. Anyway, I seriously doubt that PS3 continue outselling 360 this week...

More good titles from its western partners, more exclusive support from Japanese studios particularly Square whom has seen its 360 games meet with poor sales in comparison to games like WKC and Yakuza 3 on the PS3 in Japan mixed with very poor critical receptions in the West especially in comparison to reviews of past Square games when these same games that are getting panned on the 360 would get no lower than 8.5's on PS3 generating more sales and higher review scores for Square's games in both Japan and the West simply by putting them on PS3, will lead to much better fortunes and a real world rise if not quite a reign of the PS3.

@alzberto, the Japanese preview says that there has been a rise in the ps3 this week over last week due to large sales of re5 in the region which may put ps3 at 50k in Japan this week and imo means it might even have a shot at outselling the DSi there in this week's results indicates that the 360 is going to have a difficult time passing the ps3 this week unless Halo Wars is bringing in many new 360 users instead of selling to Halo fans, RE5 is vastly more popular on 360 than PS3 in the West, or KZ2 has taken a huge tumble this week.

Seems to me that you don't seem to know that it wasn't lag. And that is how they wanted trhe controlls. Also you don't seem to know that since so many people like you bitched and complained they patched it to make people like you happy. Clearly people like you can never be happy.
