So, another "... just wait until... " game?

Seems as though you learn nothing from your bannings.

The overwhelming authority, aside from the OP, has stated that this probably will do nothing to spike sales, yet you come in here spouting nonsense.

The only time it will is when the PS3 gets a $100 price drop.

Remember when the PS3 was outselling the 360? Despite the PS3 being more expensive, the price difference wasn't as large as now. The 360 got a price-cut and it started to outsell the PS3. Once the PS3 gets a 100 bucks price drop and equals the difference between both the CONSOLES WHEN THE ps3 WAS ON TOP OF BOTH, then AND ONLY then will the PS3 outsell the 360.

killzone would really need to be a holy game for that.

KZ2 will sell, but won't move hardware. Folks that wanted a PS3 for KZ2 bought it already. If GTA IV, MGS4, Resistance 2 and other games didn't move a significant amount of hardware, KZ2 won't. What is so surprising is my impression of the first KZ. It was ok - a 7 at best. What in the world did they do this time around to make it so AAA and a Halo Killer?

Anticipate high expectations, low returns in 3, 2, 1 ...

i suppose your right.. people either already have a ps3 or will wait for a price drop ... plus... theres still the damage from the "in game" trailer from 2-3 years ago that turned out to be pre rendered ..so unless it gets rated through the roof in reviews it will be overlooked (by all those that havent bought a ps3 yet)

No one realistic should expect anything of the sort. If you do, I must say your blind for one reason or another.

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.

Oh, please. If I make a thread saying that Halo Wars is going to sell 20 million first week, does that mean it's going to flop in sales?

Flop suggests that it sells below a lot of people's expectations, like Haze or... Too Human?
