Also the release date didn't help. It released the same day as Killzone 3, so it was a no brainer which shooter PS3 owners would buy, and it shows in sales.

I don't think that's a valid argument. Maybe some people opted for Killzone 3 over Bulletstorm on PS3, but the modest sales and weak legs of Bulletstorm on all platforms shows there was little interest in Bulletstorm period.

I genuinely feel the bad multiplayer had something to do with the lack on interest in Bulletstorm. Split screen multiplayer would have helped sales.

Of course I'm basing everything upon VGC numbers, which are most probably flawed and overtracked.

But going by numbers, you really don't think Killzone 3 release impacted Bulletstorm sales on the PS3? The X360 version outsold it by well over 200%, of course usually shooters tend to do better on X360 but not by such a high margin. I think that's definitely a valid argument.

The 360 version had access to the Gears of War 3 beta. A game that has almost sold 6 million units.
