His point is people will celebrate the success of a game like SO4 and then downplay KZ2. Seems fishy to me!

Well there are a couple of substantive differences that render his point moot.

And thats ignoring the fact that one is arguably from the most popular genre on consoles and the other is from a genre that is dying.

Those differences include:

- Microsoft money hatted SE making Star Ocean 4 a no doubt highly profitable venture for them.

- Unlike Killzone 2 which saw a predecessor on a Sony console, SO4 had no predecessor on an Xbox console.

- Killzone 2 is the kind of game that might easily fail to make a profit, whereas it is likely that with a couple of hundred thousand Western sales SO4 will make a profit even before the money hatting.

- Hello?  Japanese Xbox 360 userbase....
