While i dont think the post is troll bait, i can see how irrational fanboys get all defensive about it.

I personally hate killzone, and think halo is way over rated...less fps please.

Lol fine, I'm in a good mood today anyway. TLOU has reached 7 million (shipped+digital) on PS3, so looks like that PS fans now have a third person action franchise that can go head to head and even beat Gears and that makes me happy in weird way.

Uncharted says hello.

Yeah, there is Uncharted but Uncharted never beat Gears that clearly and people would always play the bundle card with that one.

lol overkill much? Certainly not necessary to me just poking fun. I could just pull the criticial acclaim argument, which gamers (in theory) should care about more then how much a game sells, but I can't mention that now....can't I? ;)

no different from the KZ series to Halo Reach argument..

And why would anyone care for the critical acclaim argument?  why don't you just play what you like.. that's what real gamers do.  good enough sales for me = a likely sequel.. that's all i care about.



Man.. I hate it when your girl has to leave my place to come back to you..

I don't want to jump to conclusions, but what is the point of this thread? Whether intentionally or not, it will insult fans of the Killzone franchise, and probably lead to a lot of hurt feelings and angry posts. I'm sure a response thread is already in the works.

If it's just to commemorate the Killzone series passing a single game in the same genre, well, I'm not sure if that deserves a thread. There's no point, there's no thesis, there's really nothing to argue about or learn about, or even talk about.

Maybe, but the thread seems like a joke to me, and that's OK. There isn't any obvious malice in the thread and from time to time you need a bit of satire in the forums

That's true, but I think all of us, myself included, need to do a better job being empathetic on these forums. Before we make posts and threads we should consider how others might interpret our words and how we might interpret them if directed at us.

iceland seems genuinely curious about these numbers, which is fine, but they could easily be interpreted as an attack or insult, especially without any context.

Actually this thread is satire. You were clearly on the defensive. Like we don't allready know the sales stats you posted.......

Forza sells enough on its own to warrant sequels, plus its the better rated IP so I couldn't be happier. Nm, you just need some more spinach in your diet.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

It's amusing that the entire franchise managed to barely outsell a single game in the Halo franchise.

I'd say pathetic, but I'm pretty sure that's what you were going for lol

pretty sad trolling attempt, maybe do one for Forza v Gran Turismo

I've been waiting for this moment, I don't care for either of those franchises but you are free to do one.


I'm sure you have been waiting for this moment, for no other reason than to take a dig.  It's nothing new though, anti-Sony bitterness seems to have reached a high point recently

a very HIGH point, i laughed at first but after reading that he was just waiting to do this for some time... thats just sad.

Next stop......Halo 3 sales. You can do it Killzone!

I know this is supposed to be a mix bag of congrats and funny at the same time. But I can't help seeing just how Killzone has so much wasted potential. It could have been so much more if its lore was told better.

yes, sad but i must agree, Killzone has a lot of potential but it was never fully realized, but more than the lore i think its the gameplay and characters that could be improved, also the story feels like a waste especially for how the third one ended...

Lol, for years I've had to listen to Sony fans say that Killzone is better than Halo. But sales paint an entirely different picture, don't they? xD
