quantity < quality.

I believe the fact that HGalo 3 will do over 10 mill shows QUALITY. Every successive game in the Halo series has largely outsold it's predecessor. That means the ones who played came back for more and new onws joined. They to came back for more in round 3 and through word of mouth more joined again. I'm betting Halo 4 sales are off the hook. Using that statement against Halo is laughable. Many many more people in the world think it's the best FPS they have played than almost any other shooter. probably at least 6-7mill of those 8mill+ certainly. So you may get away with dissing Halo on Forums. But jo public loves it.

 

or that it was hyped.

 

look at assasin creed sales over 7 million or GTA4 over 10kk . good games?yes.

but they deserve over 5 millions sales? after playing both they are disappointments.

and in case if that true killzone 2 should outsell halo 3, if quality matters that much graphically killzone 2 it's way superior.

 

Quality matters, but it is not the only thing that matters.  Having a multi-million install base helps.  Having good advertising and a great mutliplayer formula helps.  Being the best LAN console game helps.  If KZ2 can get all that (except for the install base, obviously) it will still be lucky to get half of Halo 3's sales.  Halo 3 is a third iteration of a great franchise.  Killzone 2 is the second iteration of an untested, and previously flawed franchise.  The sales of KZ2 would have to mostly be made on advertising, hype, and preferably having no story related to Killzone 1 since barely anyone played it.
