Now all we need is a game that mirrors Gears thats all ps3 is missing after KZ2 launches

I think the reason Sony hasn't filled those holes is because they have a similiar mentality to that. You don't need to "mirror" Gears. You need to find something that attracts the audience but isn't a copycat. Copycats are always referred to as "the poor man's version".

well its not a system seller thats for sure, system sellers are very few and far between.

its a must have game for fps fans, il have it day 1.

regarding its importance is say yes, if its critically well recieved and sells decent, ps3 gamers are off to a good start for 2009. my year personally started with motorstorm 2 that i got after xmas, ive pre ordered socom thats out soon, and after that il have killzone 2.

so hopefully killzone 2 can mark the start of a great gaming year for ps3 fans.

The game will probably sell pretty well but I don't think its that important to the PS3. The PS3 might not have a lot of huge software titles for 2009 but there will be many more important title for them in the future. Compared to Grand Turismo 5, this game is not important. In my opinion, I wouldn't have high hopes for the game after its been released. I mean Killzone 1 sold 1 million copies worldwide and lifetime sales on a userbase of 100 million. Killzone 2 will probably sell about 750 or 850k first week worldwide on a userbase of about 17 million. After a couple of weeks, it will probably have legs but not for long. I think that we shouldn't just put our focus on one game that might sell well. Instead, we should concentrate on sony's strong exclusive franchises they have to offer in 2009.

They decided to move Killzone 2 out of the holidays to give Resistance 2 the room to outsell Gears 2. Even before it moved, Scott Steinberg(VP of marketing) associated Resistance 2 with being their top tier shooter of the year, even going so far as to mention Killzone 2 as another great game. If they weren't willing to put the muscle behind the game they were going "toe-to-toe" against Gears 2 with, why would they put it behind this other shooter?

We're coming up on a month before release. I don't see any advertising yet. If there isn't any real push in the next 10-14 days, I'm calling this another bust for Sony marketing.

Well all the wii people i know with a ps3 that i have showed this game to are getting it. plus this game is the reason why my cousin is not going to wait for a cheaper ps3

Honestly, I don't think this game is that important. The PS3 has plenty of good shooters already; another one, even of very high quality, probably isn't going to do much to move hardware. I have trouble seeing someone saying, "I'm not interested in Resistance 1 + 2, Call of Duty 4 or World at War, and so on... but now that Killzone is out, I have to get a PS3!" A Feburary release likely isn't conducive to high hardware sales either.

Gran Turismo is overwhelmingly the biggest exclusive game in Sony's arsenal at the moment. If you want to talk about a game that is important to the system, focus on that one.

I agree, Sony said they were going to step it up big time with the marketing for Killzone 2, so I'd really like to see what they mean by "big time", we should start seeing some adds shortly if not like you said it'll be a bust for Sonys marketing.

YAhh every one knows GT is basicly PSs life.

But for all the shooters on 360 even quality like Bioshock, there is a huge defferance between all of them and Halo.  Some simply rise above the rest (GT).  K2 will smash R and R2 sales.  As great as COD4 was it was multi, you cant get K2 anywhere but the PS3.

How is it you can't tell I'm talking about it in a sales perspective? Nothing you said has anything to do with what I'm saying. You're talking about liking copycat games. Good for you. Are copying ideas and painting them a different color a good way to see success? Not usually.

Also I never said KZ2 is a copy of Halo. Seriously are you sure you meant to quote me, because it sounds like you're having a conversation with someone else's quote.
