if re5 does have poor sales it wont be b/c of kz it will be b/c the series is not wat it used to be

 

That's bullshit, pardon my French. Most would agree that Resident Evil is one of the few series' that has gotten better over the years. Even if RE5 sucked ass, how would it be "not wat it used to be"? What is used to be when RE4 came out? The best game in the series.

Also, by a much more realistic and hurtful logic:

If Killzone 2 does have piss poor sales, it won't be due to the Resident Evil release, it will be because the game is on the Playstation 3, which has shown a trend of having piss-poor exclusive game sales compared to the Xbox 360 and Wii, time and time again.

Releasing this game against SFIV, RE5, no price cut, right after the holidays, was an ignorant decision. Were anyone with common sense amongst the marketing department at Sony, they would release the game during the summer drought, and accompany its release with a 50-100 dollar price cut, bundle, and new ad campaign. Sony has done nearly everything in their power to minimize the impact of this game.

Really, what is the best case scenerio for KZ2, sales wise? Beating MGS4? Legs? What? What kind of sales do you expect it to pull?

You guys should be proud that you have another AAAE in your library. However, there is no excuse for flaming RE5. Some people, like me, smart people, who have been playing games since probably before you were born, love the series, and nearly every game in it. If your flavor of the week Killzone 2 hype is threatened by it, go yell it out, but don't get on this forum and play like RE sucks. It's a time consuming trifle, that.
