So Resident evil 5 will release in the same time frame as Killzone 2

I don't think Resident Evil 5 will cannibalize Killzone 2's sales like COD:WaW did Resistance 2's. They're not nearly as comparable - not even the same genre - so it's not the same.

 

Same genre, no ... but same population yes...

It is a risk to me....especially for the PS3 which is not that of an exclusivities mover....

 

Anyhow, KZ2 will probably appeal more players in the US and RE5 more players from Japan ...

 

The Resident Evil series is dying in Japan.  Resident Evil 1-3 sold over 1.5 million a piece on the PlayStation in Japan (Resdient Evil 2 actually hit 2.3 millino), while the GameCube and PlayStation 2 versions of Resident Evil 4 COMBINED barely broke 700k.  Resident Evil 5 is looking to be even more of a departure from the traditional Resident Evil experience than the fourth, so I expect even lower sales for the game in the region.

It seems Japanese gamers have good taste.

Resident Evil 5 will still do MUCH better than Killzone 2 in Japan, however.

 

Ah, makin, come on bro. Not buying RE4 is good tastes? No way!
