Heavy Rain will much more likely flop than Alan Wake. Heavy Rain is much more disturbing and graphic which will limit it's sales a lot, and also is basically a QTE game. Where Wake is just a shooter with a mystery atmosphere and nice visuals.

 

Plus theres the fact PS3 exclusives never sell that well  (at best they're slow burners) while 360 ones usually do. I mean, Uncharted 2 after the billions of internet threads and so many gifs of it posted by PS3 "fans"  that it singlehandedly (along with Killzone 2) caused global warming only did a little over 500k in it's first NPD...

It's these kinds of posts that tell me just how misinformed today's gamers are...

A. Alan Wake IS NOT a shooter.

B. How do YOU know HEAVY RAIN is disturbing, have you played it?

C. So now Uncharted 2 didn't sell well?

Yeah, I wouldn't suggest visiting your keyboard for this thread again.

no? alan carries a gun and a flashlight.  unless, are you trying to split hairs about the flashlight not being a gun?  the basic gameplay mechanic is still the same, put object behind aiming rectile then object dies.  or is this suppose to be a survival horror genre?  i mean i guess RE4/5 is a survial horror but i'm still calling it a shooter.

 

This is the gameplay i've seen and therefore basing my opionion on btw.
