Only one game has reached 5M sales, and that is just barely (GTAIV). Soon there will be 6 5M+ sellers on the Xbox 360. Wheres the past precedent? You can't exactly point to a comparable game which has sold 5M+ on the PS3 because it doesn't exist. The closest example is COD IV and Killzone 2 still has to live up to that game if it has any hope of exceeding its sales.

 

Why I can see where your predictions derive from, your logic is flawed. Just because there has not been one does not mean there wont be one. If no games have released for a system yet does that mean that no game will ever sell over a million? NO! It just means it has not happened so far. No one just knew that Halo was going to sell 8+ million, but they knew it would be big. Same with CoD and Gears.

Killzone 2 has the content: its being said by all who have played it that it is actually better then COD,Gears,Halo combined! Beta testers of the game are in love with the game.

Its got the hype: Where Halo had massive tons of advertising in virtually every publication, Killzone has massive internet hype. While that does not have the range of TV and billboards, it does get the hardcore in the know how about it. Killzone 2's marketing campaign has yet to be seen and could be great.

To go the route of your thought process says that really great games that are better then the competition don't sell well because of the particular platform they are on instead of selling of their own merit. That is a concept I do not condone nor take part in.
