I just realized for how much people keep touting Killzone 2 it may be hurt by the sales of Resistance 2 or vice versa. If Resistance 2 is the AAA game it is shaping up to be then the legs could be cut by Killzone 2. Therefore i can't really call the sales of either one.

Off topic: Its funny how people don't read. There are still posts saying, Halo sucks or Conduit FTW etc.

On Topic: Thats the reason why I was hesitant to give either R2/KZ2 a better shot at that number 3 spot. Conditions aren't quite favourable for either to take off.

 

it does.... compare it's gameplay versus 95% of the FPS market. You should know for a fact it is pathetic versus most games of the genre. The problem is there are thousands more FPSs on the PC versus console so 1 - 2 million sales dont sound like much but comparing 200 games versus 3 games selling around 8 million makes a major difference.

 

That argument gets so old.  I've played PC fps games online all the way back to quake, duke, UT (series), CS, the entire battlefield series 1942 to 2142, and on and on.  A lot of those were on shitty dialup connections or LAN.  Guess what? I still enjoy Halo multiplayer.  Every game is different in it's own way and I like them for different reasons. You have games that are twitch fests (ala quake, UT), more tactical team based (CS), to huge scale battles (BF series),  Halo is more of a run & gun game with a good amount of team based strategy behind it.  It's easy to pick up and play with a couple friends and have a good time.  Sometimes I'm in the mood for that, others it's time for something else.  I think Halo gets a lot of unnecessary hate from the elitist PC community when it's a good game.  It's all opinion anyway but there is a reason why some games post huge numbers and others do not.

OT: I think Gears 2 will surpass Gears 1.  Then COD5 will settle somewhere in the middle of that list.  Too soon to know what else might show up.
