Typo's aside..PlayStation owners are just not that into FPS games....I do want to see which will sell more over the end of spring and summer KZ2 or HW...

Now i don't think thats true at all.  I think Playstation owners are into FPS to a pretty good degree....i believe (don't quote me on this) that FPS is one of the most sold genres on the PS3.

And i'm guessin that KZ2 will have better legs than HW.

 

I am curious why.  MAYBE it happens.  But the reality is that Halo Wars is in a genre that hasn't been done competently to any extent on consoles, while Halo Wars is competent.  Thus, in a genre that is devoid of titles, it stands out nearly alone.  This gives a game legs.  And yes KZ2 is brilliant, but it then runs into the likes of Modern Warfare 2 and others.  And the Call of Duty series apparently have outsold it, and there is a distinct chance they will still do it.  Not being top dog in a genre makes it harder to compete with a title that stands alone, which MAY have a market for it.
