PS3 zealots are only happy about this not being exclusive to the 360 anymore, not happy to be able to play the game. I was thinking this would do well as its a great game but the more I read from those types on this site I think the game won't sell well at all. A wasted effort released to an ungrateful fanbase.
For the record, as a 360 only owner I would STILL pay full price for MGS4 if it came over. And, from what I've heard, its surely no ME2.

I'm gonna call BS on this or at least argue it goes both ways, point of reference FF13. ME2 won't sell squillions on the ps3 but it won't sell dog turd either. It bugs me how you are always keen to argue ps3 fans only "care" about this game because it's not a 360 exclusive anymore.

FFXIII sold (PS3/360) 1.25 mil/960k in Americas and 1.33 mil/730k in EMEAA, where it was launched simultaneously. All things considered, 360 owners seemed to embrace it well for a series that didn't have a history on the platform and had an inferior version. But its not exactly apples to apples, because the game wasn't NEAR as well received as ME2 has been. Check the GotY awards all over the net.
Never said a thing about PS3 fans. I have much respect for them. I said PS3 ZEALOTS. The term fanboy has lost its power with so many ones of different consoles running rampant. Zealotry more reflects their behavior.

Are we going to ignore the ones who were only hyped for FF13 becuase it was coming the 360 and had no interest in the game whatsoever? This fanboy/zealot whatever you want to call it is a 2way street, the way you act as if only the ps3 side has this is quite shocking. Sure the pricing sucks but at least wait for the game to release before accusing ps3 fan(boys)/zealots whatever of ignoring the game.
Don't deny the £5 vs £40 price is not a sticking point.
Nor is the fact it's a year late, because you know, year late ports always sell so well.
It's not impossible to argue that everyone who wanted to buy this game already bought it on the 360 and pc.
Not to mention the fact that everyone keeps droning on and on about how the comic does not compare to the "experience" of actually playing ME1 and how that's necessary in the enjoyment of ME2.
Just because it doesn't sell trillions doesn't mean the ps3 "zealots" only care because it's no longer exclusive, if you look at it clearly, it's not being given the best start.

Please tell me where I ever stated or even IMPLIED that only the PS3 has Zealots.
And please don't group the Zealots in with the Fans. As I stated, as a 360 fan, I would STILL pay full price for a great GotY edition port of the nearly 3 year old MGS4. Why? Because I'd love to play what is supposed to be a really good game. When I see people nitpicking (on both sides) any and every thing about ME2 on the PS3 its just so disappointing.
For the record, if you are really bored and want to go back far enough, check my posting history and see how I even ripped 360 owners for not buying and playing this game in larger numbers than I felt they should've. Game of the Year.

Then maybe you should focus more time hyping up the game instead of paying attention to the zealots because it does come across as slightly elitist and preachy (lulz, irony). But I think you are expecting a bit more from the sales of ME2 than it is capable of delivering, there are too many obstacles in its way for it to excel as much as it should.
Not saying it'll fail but at the same time...
