@stclam as I said you were correct. I got Resistance (nice) and Motorstorm(boring) at launch and there was not much to play until november(Already had Oblivion for Pc, Heavenly Sword was short). Luckily this problem is over now.

Oh yes, because we all know that people in Asia read IGN.... And you always have a choice, if you don't play FPS, which I'm sure most asians don't, then you obviously choose one of the others.

And R2 will be huge I think, esp in EU. Resistance is still charting and its a launch title, I'm sure people are going to eat it up =D. Is it going to sell like Halo? NO, no other game has so far this generation, sales don't always equate to quality anyway. If it did, then Mario and Sonic at the Olympic game must be one epic piece of software lol.

I hope with Resistance 2 Insomniac can improve the gameplay mechanics maybe add a cover system,graphics,story( no more narrations and more cinematics),and improve the online.

Resistance will sell well but it wont be in the realms of halo in regards to sales. Say what you want about the quality of the series there's one thing that halo does well and thats sell to millions of people. Halo 1 sold over 6 million copies. Resistance wont reach that mark, neither will R2.

Yes, here is the Japanese PS3 chart

Please be noted that #8, #9 & #10 are all launch titles

Their sales number are nearly the same, and the 1st week sales number ratio VS total sales number are abnormally low

I think the reason is that

1) Many people forced to bought 3 games with the PS3 at launch, they choose 2 good games (Resistance and RR7) and another garbage game (because it has Gundam in the cover, Gundam is a family name in Japan)

 2) Decent titles like Dynasty Warriors, GT5, DMC, Winning Eleven, Ryu Ga Gotoku Kenzan!, Hot Shots didn't get released until a year later, early PS3 owner dont have much choices

If DMC, GT5, Winning Eleven....are launch titles too, not many ppl will went for Resistance

Halo got hype points though.

The first Halo was awesome, and full of win.

But the second one disappointed, especially the story, and the third one was disappointing too, but it had a superior multiplayer mode, that no game has even come close to as of yet.  

how is it possible that a sequel to the only good ps3 game(i don't say it is the only-one-good-ps3game but that this game was only-good not great) could be a system seller?! 90% of sales will be generated by people who owns resistance 1 and ps3. beside how a sequel to the ps3 game can be "sonys halo"? resistance should be considered as a "sonys halo"(well we know it isn't). if i remember killzone was the game that supose to be "sonys halo"?(and still wasn't even colse to halo or even a beter game than average fps)

Lulz

You don't understand the question... I believe.

He was comparing Resistance sales in "Others" to Halo sales in "Others"

So would Resistance 2 continue the trend and outsell Halo in "Others"

I love it when people come into threads and haven't a clue what they're speaking on.
