Killzone 2 was never even stated by the forum majority to even be a big system mover.

That along with this new "Japan doesn't count" argument is so bogus that I am not even going to waste my time. To me it just sounds like "Japan doesn't count because it has 3x install base but Americas counts because it has 2x install base".

Makes you wonder how all multiplat comparisons would look if we did the same and excluded US sales.

I'll just sit back and enjoy this one.

 

 

I wonder if you're reading the same website that I am.

Killzone 2 was stated countless times to be a system mover on this forum.. Sony itself made several press releases calling it a system mover. A simple search will reveal that.

The fact is, PS3 sales have only exceeded Xbox 360 sales for one week this year. That was the week Killzone 2 was released. Was a system mover that week? Of course.. but last week and this week's sales indicate that the PS3 does not have any long-term momentum due to Killzone 2.

Of course, the Japan numbers have not been released yet.. but does it matter? The Japanese buy far fewer consoles than America and Others and even the huge lead the PS3 has over there has not put it ahead worldwide. When the Japanese numbers are released, the 360 will still lead.

 

Did you honestly expect 1 game to take a $400-$500 console and propel it to permanent boosted sales that match and/or exceed the sales of a console just about half the price?
