In all fairness this game was been hyped as the ps3 gears of war so you have to ask youself what did happen.

I mean cod5 didnt do gears any harm.

Not trying to troll but facts are facts.

 

Internet hype honestly never means it will have good sales.  It needs mainstream hype which COD has and R2 doesnt.

 

I fully agree with you on that point.

I will say again I am not trolling as this is not a gears thread but to make the point I will say this.

 

Resistance like Gears was the big launch game on either console.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Sony should have hyped this like MS hyped Gears.

I see LPB ads FIFA ads Singstar ads but no rfom ads, why?

Two things:

1. It's anecdotal, but I've seen plenty of RFoM 2 ads on tv.

2. While Gears was the first 'OMGNEXTGEN' game on the 360 (and of the generation), the 360 was already a year old by the time it launched.  Hence why it was launched right alongside Resistance 1, and why all the comparisons are made.  Incidentally, the 360's biggest launch game was Call of Duty 2 XD
