Ps3 gamers aren't dumb enough to buy yet another console shooter. Now if you'll excuse me I have some Disgaea to play.

It aint the games fault, I personally believe PS3 gamers just dont care.

If it was on 360 id guarantee wed give it a warmer welcome and not insult the developer for its hard work

As much as i hate to admit it. You are probably right. :(


Because Battlefield 3, MW3 and Uncharted 3, all massively popular multiplayer shooters have nothing to do with it.  Or for multiplat gamers you can throw in Gears 3 and the Halo Remake.

Oh gimme a break.

"Us PS3 gamerz gotta ration our moniez cause were gonna go poor buying all these games!"

If someone wants a game, theyll buy it one way or another. Funny thing is Battlefield and COD both have higher preorders for 360 then ps3........yet we also bought over 3 million copies of Gears 3 in one week. Not to mention Halo CE will also have a high opening as well.

PS3 gamers dont care. You can spin but numbers dont lie.

you mean like 360 owners cared about metro 2033, about alan wake, about crackdown 2, about bulletstorm, about crysis 2, about most of the latest kinect games... ? warm welcome indeed.

you also seem to forget that the preorders here are only from north america, where the xbox has almost twice as much install base then the ps3, i would say preorders don't look that bad from that point of view.


Talk to me when we stop buying Halo and Gears. Flagship exclusives. Resistance used to be such a one for PS3. Guess it diminished.....a lot. 



Resistance... A flagship exclusive? No, Killzone is/was more important than Resistance and that wouldn't even be considered flagship. A flagship title would be Gran Turismo, Uncharted, or even God of War.

And you should wait to talk when PS3 owners stop buying GT5 and Uncharted.  And the main reason the first Resistance sold so well was because it was a launch game for the PS3, one of the few quality ones.  If it had released later in the gen, it probably would have pulled the same numbers as the other 2, ~ 2 million.  Which, whether you wish to believe it or not, is a number MANY games would wish they could reach.

Am I the only one who knows that Insomniac says after R3, they aren't making anymore or did I make that up...?

You're completely right that Insomniac did say they're not making any more Resistance games.  But they also stated that they pretty much left the franchise up to Sony to find another dev that wants to continue it.  So the series isnt over unfortunately as I wish they would just end it to have an ending and leave it alone forever.

That and the fact that Sony bundled the hell out of it on its first 2-3 months after release.

I loved the first two games, and I'll probably like Resistance 3 as well, but I got a bit turned off by the stupid orange game cover, and the 10,000 kills trophy in R2 didn't help Insomniac win any points with me.
