Why would KZ2 make any difference at all to hardware sales?? Because it's pretty? That'll help sell software but it sure won't convince anyone to shell out the extra $100-$200 for a PS3 over the 360 when the 360 still has a superior overall first/third person shooter library (or at the very least equal).

Does the fact that most people choose the PS2 over the Xbox and the Wii over both HD consoles not yet convinced you that the prettiest graphics are not the secret to sales dominance?

PS3 need A) PRICE CUT! B) Broader library

@ gamerace, you know it is meant to be a great game as well? It is not just that it is pretty, it is that it is awesome

Agreed and well said Munkeh. :P

For the week it comes out maybe but unless there is a pricecut it won't...

not me.

 I'm not disputing its awesomeness.  But are there not already awesome FPSs on PS3 and 360?  Maybe I'm missing something but the only hyped difference is the graphics.  Thus my point remains.

Killzone 2 will not move that many consoles so unless we see a price cut I can't see it helping the PS3 to outsell the 360.

Unlikely the ps3 will outsell the 360 even the week of release, unless there's a price drop.

If there is a bump, it'll be small. It's mostly hardcore gamers that know about the game at this point, and we either already own a ps3, will pick one up a few weeks before launch like SamuelRSmith's friend, or won't be getting a ps3 for this game.

If it effects sales amongst more mainstream gamers (not Wii mainstream, but last gen mainstream - your GTA/Madden/Halo guys), it'll happen slowly, as word of mouth about this game spreads.

And I fully expect this thread to be mentioned after release as a reason why the game flopped in sales.

i dont think it will be just because of that 1 game, if there is price cut then yess.

i don't.i expect when God of war 3 and Uncharted 2 come out. And when FF13 come out in Japan as PS3 exclusive, PS3 might as well outsell the Wii ( but for only two or three weeks)
