I think Sony could have hyped this game more, but they realize what the Killzone franchise is capable of and, imo, it is a building block to the eventual mega franchise that Sony will someday have.

Whether or not that is the new ip Guerilla is working on or not- remains to be seen.

What we do know is that it is almost definitely the best exclusive shooter on the ps3, and that is something.

Triple the marketing budeget and release during the holiday season and I think Sony will have their version of a Halo or Gears in a few years time.

I think they realized that potential when the first game broke 2 million, which is why they bought GG.

The fact that the sequel has barely outsold the first game and the third is looking to not do any better is a problem.

This game should've been delayed to the holidays, so GG could've polished it up, fixing all the graphical bugs and adding in features like online co-op, while also giving the game the benefit of a near-holiday release window.

I mean, hell, Medal of Honor had a better opening week.

Holiday season is Resistance 3 mania time.

They couldn't have 2 major 1st party FPS' unless Resistance 3 had to be delayed (but its already been through a 3 year dev cycle)
