i could use the same arguement in reverse...

how many sony fans predicted lower first week sales than they really belived likely or possible.

fact is... it isnt exactly setting the world on fire with extraordinary sales and isnt it obvious that THE most hyped game on the PS3 that is also a shooter is going to be the biggest selling title in america so far... whats the big deal?

So what's so disappointing?

 

You would have to admit that this game was hyped to hell on this site.

So you could say that sales are dissapointing compared to say H3 or Gears2.

 

Not at all.

Halo 3 came off a franchise where each game averaged 6-7M+ sold.

Gears2 came off a game with a 6M+ userbase.

Killzone 2 came off a game with a 2M+ userbase.

Halo 3 launched in the holiday season along with a price cut.

Gears 2 launched in the holiday season along with a price cut.

Killzone 2 launched in February with a $400 price tag that hadn't dropped for more than 14 months.

 

How easy it is to ignore everything isn't it. Not to mention that Killzone 2 internet hype has no relevance to real world hype so basing success or disappointment off that is already a mistake.
