Yeah... and there was ton of The Conduit threads.

Either way Killzone 2 sold considerably more the first week in the US alone.

They aren't the fraction of the amount of Killzone 2 threads which we've been seeing since 2005.

And Killzone 2 had lackluster sales considering that it was the second coming.

Apparently you don't remember the threads of people predicting Conduit would sell 3-4M.

No, no I don't. I do remember threads about how Killzone 2 was a Halo-killer.

How's that working out by the way? Halo Reach was announced at E3, the series looks alive to me. I didn't see a Killzone Reach though.

 

Internet hype always makes even good products seem like a disappointment compared to the hype. Killzone 2 has sold decently, and hasn't had a holiday season to boost the sales yet. I've seen countless MMOs hyped as a "WoW-killer" and end up being decent games with a sustainable userbase, but fail to kill WoW in any way, shape or form.

 

Remember when the PS2 was going to render Toy Story in realtime, be the hub of your digital existance, and be used by third world countries to launch missiles? Yeah... The PS2 was a really good system, but didn't live up to THAT hype.
