Forums - Sony - What percentage of PS3 owners are FPS fans?

richardhutnik on 14 January 2009

People say that the 360 isn't a good place to do JRPGs, because the percentage of JRPG fans is small there.

Well, I was curious about what percentage of PS3 owners are FPS fans.  Anyone have any idea?  This number could be used to calculate initial sales of Killzone 2, for example.  Maybe look at sales of Resistance 2 and World at War (PS3), and average the numbers, to get an idea of what sales could be like on Killzone 2 when it releases.

If it wasn't for KZ2, I wouldn't have bought a PS3.

When I switched to consoles after years of PC gaming, I was abit dissapointed with how easy most console FPS's felt (especially CoD5)

KZ2 looks like it'll be a little more competitive than the average FPS considering that it has pretty much no auto-aim along with the guns having a more realisitc amount of recoil. I also got tired of the 16 player limit in most console FPS's.

Havent been a big fan of FPS, infact the last fps I played was Wolfenstein 3D. Killzone2 will be my first fps on the consoles

Why don't you do it yourself? All you have to do is to ask 19.61 million PS3 owners if they are FPS fans or not, then do the math.

Well, I'm an FPS fan but I don't buy many of them on my PS3.

I wasn't much of an FPS fan up until this gen. After Goldeneye, the only FPS I played regularly for awhile was Source, with a bit of BF2 here and there.

Uncharted eased back into the shooter genre, and Killzone 2's multiplayer is the only multiplayer I've been able to seriously get into since Source. I couldn't stand Resistance 1/2's multiplayer, and I never played Warhawk long enough to really get the hang of things.
