i know, about that, and xbox 360 titlesd aunch week are even better than that
funny thing only 2 exclusive in above list.

but you have to remember

R1, are the only good shooter way back then
but now R2 is in different situation, look at logical way.

now ps3 owner bombarded with LBP, Fallout3, and next COD, mirror edge
POP, then TRU

after that we will get big hit Fear, and next KZ2

this is different situation compare to when R1 released

The same can be said for Gears2,it has alot of competition.

Well expect it to be very close in OTHERS, since GEARS 2 sold a supposed 700k there, R2 can do similar numbers if not more.

 

lets hope so.

 

So far, the 360 is having a terrific beginning to the holidays.

 

oh, i forget about Home, sorry.

in fact I have just recently decided to skip Resistance 2 for Killzone 2....get Mirror's Edge instead.

 

Why on earth would you skip Resistance 2?

Just because of "sales"? Dude the game is beyond amazing, mirrors edge's demo is crap compared to R2, dont judge the game by the beta.

ofcourse that isn't the reason....what do you think of me!!!

the reason is not enough money to buy all games.....Mirror's Edge looks like a must buy....I just got LBP n fallout3.....I can't afford anything more than 1 game frm parents

that leaves Mirror's Edge whics I feel is a must buy.

+ KZ2 is coming in a few months anyway....so might as well just skip Resisance 2 for it

THe difference in sales in NA makes sense with the install bases. Others should be alot closer with similar install bases.

n BTW leo-j I'm in the beta for Resistance 2.....+ I have the demo for mirror's Edge

for me Mirror's Edge outshined it through n through!

You do know there is an option to rent games right. I say never skip a game you want to play. Im currently renting Fallot 3 and plan to rent mirrors edge, fable 2. the main reason they get rent is no extended replay value which is why im gunna only rent gears 2 as im not paying for live anymore.
