I was focusing mainly on FPS. For sheer hype alone, you have Street Fighter 4 and RE5. I am curious here though: Why do people here think that hype on videogame forums equals what the rest of world thinks or knows about? If you were to look at forums like this, and the Internet, Snakes on a Plane would of been the biggest grossing movie when it was released, and Ron Paul would of been the nominee of the Republican Party. Things seriously appear much larger here than they are in real life. KZ2 may end up with legs, if it is all that but as far as being "the only think FPS" in February, I am not sure how one can say that. I did list some that say otherwise.

I think people should listen to this post. If these forums were anything to go by then Little Big Planet should have sold 20 million already. The hype almost never translates to actual real world hype or sales.
Eg. Halo 3 got far less hype on forums than MGS4 for instance. Look at the hype for Killzone 2. I'd say it's about the same as LBP hype around here. I expect after most of the people who bought the original think it's pretty mediocre, Killzone 2 will sell average. There will be alot of disapointed people on this forum come Feb/March.
