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)

That is an issue, yes, but I'm sure they could've figured something out.

Ultimately, the game was mishandled.  It was not given enough development time, and was released near too many other titles in one of the slowest seasons of the year.

I'm hoping the game will do better than I expect thanks to legs, but at this point I doubt the game will top 3 million.

Even a summer release probably would've been better, given that window still seems pretty quiet, and an axtra several months probably would've allowed GG to release a complete game, rather than one missing features AFTER getting huge post-launch patches.

I doubt it's a Killzone issue though, look at LBP 2, i expected better numbers there too. I'm just not feeling so many sequals. I am craving something new already. I feel sorry for Uncharted, thank God it gets a november release.

LBP2 is showing better holds than LBP1 in UK now, if its the same worldwide then it can still sell as much hopefully.

@makingmusic

it does sound mismanaged. Maybe at some point SONY decided Resistance 3 gets priority?
