"Over-hyping" happens when a console's offerings is lacking in a specific gaming genre.

It happened with several RPG games on the N64.

The Conduit might end up as another good example of this phenomenon. Let's hope we're all wrong.

 

 Based on this definition.

Ps3 is considered by many as "Shooterstation 3", if that's the case why was Killzone 2 considered "over hyped?"

By many where?  I have never heard that before today.

A couple years ago, terms like "FPSbox" and "Halobox" were commonplace descriptions for the 360 and its little brother.  In fact, after the PS3 came out, a lot of people were bragging that the PS3 "had more than shooters."  The PS3 hasn't even really been in the ballgame against the 360 for shooters until R2 and KZ2 came around.

I believe it is a mythical "many".  It is a many that a writer refers to, that can't be documented, but is used to try to make a point.
