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."

first off lol.
second off, try the game page. A lot of crap was spewing threw there. I made a sales prediction (I was way high too), and I was one of the few reasonable people there as some had it doing almost 3 million first week.

havent checked the whole thread.. but on page 1 there are a couple over 1m, one over 1.5m and one at 2m

You know, there's a point where sadly you have to dismiss some people. IMHO just because someone claims KZ2 will do 2M in its first week doesn't make it a dissapointment when it achieves good sales for the install base and demographics it launches to.
When I see people quote silly numbers I just ignore it. You look at the console install base, you look at the split per territory and you look at the past demographics of sales. The 360 is clearly in a far better position to support AAA shooters. That's it period. KZ2 is a AAA shooter than will sell well on PS3, but it's not going to equal the 360 big hitters like Halo and Gears - however that doesn't make it any less of a game, just one with smaller sales prospects.
