lol why are they arguing over Bulletstorm vs Killzone 3 both did poorly imo. 48 million users and only .5 million cared enough to buy it. and the same for bulletstorm maybe sony should invest some money into a game that will attract the number of people that Call of Duty does or Gears of war or Halo. Im tired of seeing 3 million copies sold for a exclusive ps3 game. 

Look no further than GT5 then...

True. However, it's only merely a pleasant exception to a reality of only m-e-h! games. SON¥ needs either, better production values (for more fun games) or better marketing (to get the good stuff to the famined masses), you know, something that gets the kids excited! PS3 people should look forward to being the in-crowd, the envy of all others if you will, for all the cool stuff your console provides, not embarassed at the neverending parade of half-baked, stillborn game titles. Somebody at SCEA needs a kick in the ass. Like, uhmm... right now!

Considering GT5 is doing pretty good in America, i don't think there's an issue with SCEA.

Anyway, a few sub 90-Meta scores hardly is indicative of "neverending parade half-baked, still born titles". It doesn't get much more narrow minded than that. Plenty of Wii & 360 titles with sub-90 Meta scores, are they "half-baked" as well?

One thing's for certain, GT5's fans are loving it. Looks like that 84 Meta (a good score to begin with) had little to no affect on the game.

Except that, even GT5, "the Holy Grail app" for the PS3 should be doing better numbers in the Americas and Japan, proportionally like those in EMEAA and selling SKU's like there's no tomorrow. Instead it finds itself conformed to trying to salvage what little lead it has over an older generation console's (PS2) favourite sim-racer (GT4). Just look the rest of the hyped exclusives: they're 80% sequels, and mind you, given either the metacritic scores or sales data, 'tis not the season for sequels. SON¥ needs to drop the handhelds and invest in peoples' playrooms; specially those playrooms with potential PS3 gamers. Pronto!
