Even if it did sell several thousand more.. the ps3 was still outsold by the xbox 360 this week. That's horrible for Sony when their heavily-advertised "halo-killer" can't even put them ahead on its release week.

 

It is still much higher priced than the 360 in the US and much more in Europe. If PS3 sales without KZ2 would have dropped by at least half the 360 sales even with SO4 you are looking at at least 20k consoles moved in the US alone. In Europe 360 dropped by somewhere around 20kish, so by same logic you add around another 10k units moved for the PS3. Still moved anywhere from 40-50k more units. That isn't bad at all.

You can look at this many ways, but it is far from a bad launch for Killzone 2, it did indeed move plenty of systems and software sales were actually around what most users here predicted.

Who is calling it a Halo Killer? Gamepro?

didn't sony called it a halo killer????
