Last I checked KZ3 has its bugs as well and its just as slow. Who  is "us" exactly because the people I know prefer kz2 and while some still play kz3 regardless, they agree that kz2 is better. KZ3 is just fresher ATM. It's time that will tell. As bad as KZ2 suppsedly is, its MP is still alive and kicking after 2 huge COD releases. I have to say though that most people who hate kz2 just really sucked which is fair enough. I sucked too at the start like everyone else but it was too sweet to stop playing.

KZ3 has no custom servers, very mediocre stat tracking, no battle replays (people were even expecting a cinema like Blops and Halo). These are very basic fetaures of kz2 that the devs axed for no reason...perhaps because they were too busy suporting move and 3D that they forgot the basics.

isnt selling well?lol what did you expected...after a 2.5 mill Killzone 2 a 6 million Killzone 3?

1. ) Call of Duty is a bigger franchise, the start of this you did not mention a specific platform.  Your fault, no one elses.  Even as a specific platform, Call of Duty regularly has more people playing and has appealed to various console user bases (Something Halo couldn't accomplish, it's experience on PC was pretty miserable as a whole).

3.)   You most certainly are someone who defends a piece of code and you have been for quite sometime from posts I have read from you in the past.  (Halo fan to the extreme).  You think that Halo has a great story and they have conveyed that well in their games.  You think the sun rises and sets on Halo's amazing self.  

And to jump out and say 'poor 360 fans get treated terriblez!!'  give me a break, please.   360 fans that make sense and don't spew total non-sense get treated the same as Nintendo or Sony fans who don't spew total non-sense either.    Some fans, who claim every game is the best graphical game on the planet (When it's clearly not)  and continuously get proven wrong obviously don't get respect for obvious reasons.

The biggest problem I have witnessed with some 360 fans is that they feel that sales of a specific title (Halo is a great example)  must mean that it's one of the best games to ever exist.  The reality is sales have a lot more to do with marketing, type of game versus userbase, amount of games out concurrently, widespread public appeal (Moms, Dads, Kids, Teenagers, etc)   random public hype more than anything truly tangible like game quality, content, etc.   

   For example, the 360 and Halo  is an American company with American-centric advertising, sales tactics, creating an American appealed game, with limited competition on their system,  on a system primarily with a US presence,  that also benefitted from public hype and a quality original game with a mature enough demeanor to attract teenagers and college students and a immature enough appeal (Lack of serious blood or gore) to get the green light from parents for younger children.

Is it really any surprise that a game like Halo has sold well for two generations especially on the 360? 

Compare that to the PS3 and Sony.  With Euro/Japan Centric appeal and flare, with the worst sales in the American market,  obviously it's not going to do as well in the FPS department. Mind you, it has it's strengths versus the 360 but FPS's aren't one of them. 

The appeal that Sony has always maintained with their consoles is variety.  Whether you're from Japan, Europe, America, Canada, Mexico, Africa, etc.  This is probably more because of the fact that Sony has tons of studios from various locations, but regardless this is the strength of the Sony brand and always has been.   It has a negative effect on sales for 'specific' titles in some cases but usually provides strong software sales on a broad sense.  (Which is really the only thing that matters to them as a company).

I haven't been too impressed with KZ3 to be honest.

Graphics are fine, and the story is ok. I just couldn't get into the online and I still rather play Resistance2 than this. I wouldn't recommend the game to anyone except a FPS fanatic.

So...

EDIT: I mean, its a good game, but not what I would call AAA.

I used to feel the same way, and used to get really irritated at ps3 owners; but now I think it's mainly bc of the difference between ps3's install base in the U.S./Americas compared to 360. Don't U.S./Americas gamers tend to buy more games than those in other regions?

Killzone 3 is selling well for a PS3 exclusive. If you're asking why Killzone 3 sales aren't as strong as Halo, Call of Duty, or Gears of War it's because it doesn't have as strong of a multiplayer component. Multiplayer is fun, but there is nothing really bringing you back into the game. Resident Evil 5 sold well despite having poor multiplayer because of the strong label Resident Evil 4 laid. Also Killzone doesn't have as epic of a story arc as other Sci-Fi shooters like Halo, Gears of War, or Resident Evil. The events in Killzone 3 are much more loosly tied to the events in other Killzones compared to the other mentioned sci fi shooters. So..

1. Not as addicitve multiplayer as compeditors

2. Not the king of multiplayer games, so it's forgotten quickly since everyone else is playing Call of Duty.

3. Not so massive story arc.

No my PS3 broke, going to play KZ3 co-op with my friend in the summer. I'm basing a lot of my arguement off KZ2, which I did not feel was up to the level of quality Halo 3, Gears 2 or Modern Warfare 1 were at.
