I too said months ago that Lair wouldn't sell systems. Looks like I'll be right.

I remember that day, Sony's Gamer Day. The fanboys watched videos of Lair and went "OMG!!!! Look at those graphics!!! There's like 10,000 soldiers on the field and each has a Cell enabled AI algorithm!!! This is going to sell millions PS3's!!!!". More rational people read the less than stellar previews and realized that though the game is pretty it's also shallow. I also thought the game wouldn't do so well but I won't jump on the I told you so bandwagon.


Yup, the hype back then sounds an awful lot like the hype of another upcoming game *Killzone3*. I'm not saying it won't sell systems this time, but fanboys might want to think twice before over hyping a game based on trailers and screen shots.
