Also just to show why your arguement is not full proof, I could also say more people bought KZ3 because it comes with early access to the socom 4 beta. I know gears is more popular than socom, but I still think you are exagerating the effect of the Gears beta. Attributing significant increases in sales of a game to a beta does not seem to significant unless it is Halo 3: ODST because at least that game actually was a Halo game.

just wondering, how well did crackdown 2 do sales wise in comparison to crakdown 1?
seeing as it had access to the halo 3 beta
and @ squilliam your reasoning is flawed
the game did 360k combined while killzone 3 did 500k, so the ps3 version of bulletstorm hurting becasue people brought it on 360 for gears beta (and how this constitutes to the "better platform" is beyond me) is a moot point because KZ3 out sold the game combined on both platforms.
now looking at the ratio
300k (360) to 63k (ps3) that's what 4 to 1? 5 to 1? name me just ONE recent shooter that posted sucha discrepency in sales hell find me 1 this entire gen.
FACT: Killzone 3 utterly destroyed Bulletstorm sales for the ps3, game would have done ALOT better if it had released further away from killzone.

Killzone 3 is irrelevant. 1.25% of PS3 owners bought it the same week as bulletstorm came out, that leaves 98.75% of them to potentially buy Bulletstorm.
Crackdown 2 sold ~ 1/2 of Crackdown 1.

Perhaps, but the fact is, it would have sold better if it wasn't on the same weeek as KZ. Would it have sold MUCH better? That's up for debate. But some people who just bought KZ and will get Bulletstorm later won't have bought it, even though they want it, because a 'better' game came out in the same week.
So, delaying Bulletstorm may have been beneficial for long-term success
