As many people are saying Killzone 2 was never going to be a big system seller, fanboys on gaming sites say it will be and then we have a snowball affect. |
How will internet forum hype make its way to the average consumer that doesnt spend time on gaming forums? lol cmon.......
Even if it were true, those people would walk into a store, see the $400-$500 price.........and half the people will then and there either walk away or see what the 360/Wii offers.
The PS3 price is keeping its AAA games from really being system sellers.

Read my post again, I said it will not be a big system seller but fanboys on gaming sites make it the second coming of Jesus. Killzone 2 will not sell systems but what it will do is sell very well, with Killzone 2 I see a game which will sell 4M LTD but not sell many systems.
If, sorry when Sony fuck up advertising again word of mouth will give the game legs, much like COD 4 did. I enevr paid much attention to games before, then a friend told me that COD 4 was awesome and I went and purchased. If the Beta and early reviews are anything to go by then the same will happen with Killzone 2.

The hype for Killzone 2 is almost that of MGS4. I don't think your prediction is too far off, whether it will deserve it or not. Plus, it looks like Call of Duty: Killzone from a consumer stand point, and that'll sell it fine. If Sqeenix made Star Ocean LOOK like FF then it'd probably sell a good bit off of that fact. Which I'm actually thinking they did do :P. Now all they need to do is market it like a Final Fantasy.

My friends dont care much for gaming but all own a PS3 due to GT5 however they are suckers for shiny graphics. A good ol' advert showing the pretty graphics and you will be amazed how many people will be suckered in to buy it. Even Sony cannor screw this one up with there adverts, just some gameplay will be enough for people to buy the game.
