Not really.  The actual question it raises for me is why Sony 1st party FPS can't match the big 3rd party FPS?

Year by year the actual sales units of big third party titles have crept closer and closer on the two consoles - with 360 having early lead due to its head start - and more recently some big titles have sold more on PS3, even.

Yet, for some reason Playstation exclusive FPS can't match Halo in sales.  I find it strange as the 3rd party sales show their is an install base big enough to support huge FPS sales, and in general Playstation owners seem pretty loyal, yet titles like Killzone 2 sell a lot less despite being polished, feature rich and exlusive.

I'm always curious why this is.

Titles like Killzone 2 are polished but not in a way the mass market appreciates with features the mass market doesn't neccessarily appreciate and exclusivity than only a select few actually care about. Infact being exclusive is probably a negative on Killzone 2's sales because the marketing budget can only be justified off of the present market conditions of the PS3 and word of mouth is limited to just that systems userbase.



Tease.
