The first Killzone was rubbish which tarnished the brand name among core gamers. Also the ps3 user base it too small for it to games sell as much as the Wii and 360.

It sounds like the same old song;

When Lair is released it will be a system seller. Who said this?
When Haze is released it will be a system seller. Who said this?
When MGS4 is released it will be a system seller. It was.
When Resistance 2 is released it will be a system seller. Who said this?
When LBP is released it will be a system seller. Admittedly, yes.
When Home is released it will be a system seller. Who said this?
etc etc

I don't believe I said it would be a system seller, I said it would not sell as.. I won't say badly, but as...

It will sell better than R2 and LBP. Both of them.

Nothing short of Gran Turismo 5 will be a system seller, FFXIII will be a system seller in Japan.

God of War III could be a very minor system seller, which is the best that Killzone 2 can aspire to be. Something like Fable II.

And you'd be amazed just how few people have actually heard of Killzone. Anybody educated enough to know that Killzone existed and was very buggy is educated enough to have seen/read the Killzone 2 trailers/beta impressions and know that it isn't a buggy mess.

With Halo-level advertising (which it isn't going to get), this game could sell well over a million first week, maybe 2 million.

This is so much garbage. So you will blame the lackluster sales on "non-Halo advertising levels"? Face it, software doesn't move well on the PS3. Look at the sales difference in multiplats and you will see that it has nothing to do with advertising, but with installed base and attach rate. The only 1 mil first day seller for the PS3 MIGHT be FFXIII or GT5, but I doubt it on both.

And, as other people have said, there have been multiple claims about all of those games listed that they would move PS hardware. You seem to be the only one still damage controlling that one.
