I think we are at the lowest now. 8 mln.

 

I do believe the gap will grow 3 mln +/- 500k by the end of 09. So 10.5-11 mln by year end.

 

I do not think a PS3 price cut will be unanswered by MS. They see what's going on and a $50 cut on the 360 across the board absolutely will trump even an unlikely $100 cut on the PS3. For a price cut to make a maximum impact, it would have to happen like tomorrow.

It is rediculous to think KZ2 will be a huge system seller. MGS4, a very well known and established franchise made minimal impact on system sales. What makes anyone think a game with a weak first iteration is going to sell systems. The game will sell well to people like me who have been waiting a long time in between must own titles for the PS3.

There are some great games aside from KZ2 this year, but anything save GT5 or FF13 will not move a lot of hardware and those look to be 2010 releases for the time being.

Just because the previous game got a lot of critiques does not necessarily mean the second will be held to the same standard. Its not like Killzone didn't sell well at all. The game sold about 3.5 million. I believe that is more then God of War 2 did. The game was a huge success besides it's reviews. When I actually got a chance to play it  not too long ago for the first time I realized something...l

THE CONTROLS ARE IDENTICAL TO CALL OF DUTY4's!!! Yet they complained about this games gameplay, yea that wasn't biased. A game way before its time it was. Killzone obviously had really high ambitions that the PS2 simply could not handle. They were trying to squeeze XBOX graphics out of it and it just wasn't happening, hence the framerate issues. I have seen games with worse problems though.

If Killzone 2 can trully live up to the hype from it's graphics to it's gameplay. It could pull a COD4 that is exclusive for the PS3, bringing in more sales then a game such as MGS4, who as great as it is is still very niche.
