That thread has nothing to do with sales. The idea of killing Halo is ridiculous, but I say Killzone 2 is better than Halo 3 in almost every way...

Find one person who said that Killzone 2 would even come near Halo 3 sales.

 First and fpre,pst, that is not the claim I was disputing. You said no one called Killzone 2 the Halo killer. That is wrong. There was an entire thread about it. Point number 2 I will oblige you on eventually I suppose. It will take a while to wade through all the crap predictions, but I am certain some ridiculous fanboy will have said it was. Of course this proves nothign as some ridiculous fanboy has no bearing on what rational people thought and said. Rabbid fanboys say all kinds of stupid things though, so you should avoid the word "nobody."

I was referring to sales. Just the idea of a Halo killer in itself is ridiculous. Halo shaped the genre, and a family of consoles was essentially built on it. Killzone 2 had no chance of being as significant as Halo. Ask ten people on the street who Master Chief is, more people will know that if you were to ask them who Tomas Sevchenko is, or even Jan Templar.

But anybody thinking that Killzone 2 would sell half of what Halo 3 sold first week is delusional, a fanboy, and needs a reality check.

I think Killzone 2 is a better game, but that doesn't make it a Halo killer, because Halo cannot be killed. It is timeless. It's like calling LBP a Mario Killer, or Fable a Zelda Killer (seen both of those on VGC sadly)

I've seen a couple of people here saying that Killzone 2 would be a Halo killer, but not one person predicted over 3 million first week.
