This is on my list of most awaited games for this first months, but as it has been said in this thread already, if it isn't exclusive, then people won't hype it.

Which is not all that bad, when a game starts becoming over-hyped, usually a group of vocal naysayers starts rising against the game and start doing trouble for the rest of the fans.

So i'm kinda glad this didn't happen with Bioshock 2 actually :)

Also, hype means nothing sales wise.  If it did, the 360 Square Enix RPGs would have sold a million copies each.  Marketing is way more important than hype.  Also, Borderlands, probably the biggest new IP of 2009, had very little hype before it came out and look at how well that sold.

Completely agree with you. While I don't usually care for anything, sales wise, I got to agree that the effect of hype in it is very little. Ultimately, people will buy what they feel like to buy, and this is were marketing has the biggest role possible for any game to be succesful. 

Bioshock 2 will be a very succesful game, especially that now it has MP, which is a major incentive for buying a game this generation.

Me, i'll play it SP, i'm not a very console MP oriented person.
