You edited that in.  The sales are not poor for a "flagship" title that is merely a AA game, and that is a sequel to a AA game that only sold 3.4 million.

I fully expect Killzone 2 to be AAA, and to be marketed much better than Resistance 2.  It will be *the* shooter to get for the ps3 next year, only possibly topped by the next Call of Duty.  And even then I'm not sure if Infinity Ward can top the game, unless they change things a lot from Call of Duty 4.

It's not a AA game, I say it is AAA, but like I said, it was never going to be a flagship title. The original was decidedly mediocre, and they improved the formula a lot (while making a few mistakes along the way, like two weapons at a time and no vehicles).

Sony knew Killzone 2 was coming three months after it. They clearly cared about it more, because they delayed it out of the shooter rush, which they didn't do with R2 because it would be more trouble than it would be worth.

And I am pretty sure Killzone 2 will be better than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. IW have a lot of improvements to make in a short amount of time. Killzone 2 will not only sell better LT than CoD4 (PS3 version only, of course), it will have a better opening week, and higher reviews.

I know it's a bold prediction. I like to make those, because it feels good when I'm right, and because I deny ever making it when I'm wrong
