It wasn't very clever from sony to launch R2 at the same periode than COD... I also think that a traditional shooter (ww2) will have more success than a alien shooter. Don't forget that in europe, reviews weren't great fort this game, just average ... (gamekult...)

It wasn't clever to launc R2, LBP, and M2 all at the same time either, just when we were starting to think Sony was turning themselves around....

Based on personal preference I'd prefer the alien shooter, there are just so many ww2 shooters already, I am really quite surprised so many people are still interested.

 

Well if you think about it, that works in reverse also. There are plenty of alien shooters so why are people so interested? Halo, Gears of War, Resistance, Area 51, The Conduit, Metroid Prime(technically an adventure so maybe scratch that), Red Faction, Killzone, Time Splitters, Doom, Quake, Unreal Tournament, Duke Nukem, Dark Sektor, Time Shift, Fracture, Clive Barker's Jericho, etc.

Maybe Res 2 sales are down because it's turning off both audiences since it's a bit of a combo of both WWII and alien invasion?
