I was just messing with seece.

i doubt it. I think it will just make the people that currently own both consoles play their PS3 a bit more. Then again i am spending alot of time at my buddies playing this game so maybe they are right

I don't think he mentioned Gears 2 at all, it seems he just doesnt like Resistance 2. If you meant sales-wise, which wasn't what Darc Requiem was talking about, then yes Resistance 2 is a disappointment because it couldn't sell comparably or even in the range of Gears 2.

that is until nintendo fans finally reach puberty

But I seriously hope you weren't serious. I am serious about thinking this seriously true thing I speak of seriously.

well if they had ps3s and kz you should just make a lan party.

I think these days it takes a really unique game to create a real system seller. With sooooo many console FPS's even a great one like KZ2 will have a hard time shifting HW. Halo did it because it was one of the first console FPSs to actually "get it" and not just try and shoehorn a PC control scheme into a controller (funny since it started off as a Mac/PC game). Wii Sports was successful at shifting hardware because it was likewise earth shattering. KZ2 seems much like the tagline would suggest "War. Perfected" meaning it is an evolution of a genre, but not a revolution. LBP was the one I expected to shift PS3 HW because it really was blazing a new trail, but for some reason that game has been largely ignored.

The hope for Sony is at some point to reach a critical mass of good exclusives so that everybody just can't live without one. I think they are moving in that direction, and certainly a price cut will help. But this progression has been slowed down dramatically with the 360 stealing a lot of expected exclusives. So who knows what it will take to change the tide.

Killzone 2 will get many interested but not enough. Sony isn't really building on the momentum if it really wants to do that. Like say Killzone 2 is all hyped and released, then it should start hyping up another triple AAA exclusive for release a few months down the line. That's what would sell the system not just for a game.

Wait a second, is that Sony's plan? To attack Micrsoft's fanbase? Honestly, if they're going to attack anyone's fanbase any logic sense would lead you to Nintendo's "expanded audience". Hell, they could even find their own special niche, but hoping games would take 360's fanbase is a terrible bet. Sony's not getting out of this rut anytime soon that's for sure.

You bring up an interesting point. Why has nobody else decided to try and go after the casual audience? I mean MS even has a cheaper console, it would seem logical to try and steal at least some of that market. If nothing else than to build a base for the next gen which I have no doubt will be more casual-centric (because it sells).

This would seem like an interesting point at first but you have to consider that this so called casual audience has already picked their console. I doubt "attacking MS' fanbase" is Sony's plan but if they could appeal to the 360 fanbase and have the average 360 only owner want a PS3 too then that makes sense. What other way to appeal to the 360 fanbase than with a shooter? I mean isn't that suppose to be what the 360 crowd is know for, playing shooters? I would think that there a lot more 360 owners that would like to play Killzone 2 than Wii owners. 360 owner raises eyebrows for Killzone 2, Wii owner doesn't give a shit.
