Self delusion, mostly...

There's really no way to spin sales like that for the most expensive game ever made.

It would have to have legs like Mario Kart or Wii Fit in order to be successful, but we all know the sales patterns of PS3 games.. they tend to drop in sales really quickly.

 

 

Or legs like resistance 1/2, little big planet, or uncharted and we know that this game will have some serious legs.  Lets not get ahead of ourselves it has only been 5 days, so let's calm down with all the doom and gloom.

That would be GTA4.

 



Because hotdogs are not what they seem to be.... Sometimes they're made of pure breading. You only get 10% real meat. Not to mention the added presservatives which cuts your life by 20 sec every time you eat one. By average person eats a 2 hotdogs a day. That doesn't include vienna sausage in cans. Imagine it just kills you right there. Added the artificial flavoring of ketchup which contains 30% real tomatoes other is just chemicals which is used bug spray. Next time you see a fly offer him a hot dog. You'd be shortening his lifespan by 20% since they only live a short life. Still annoying you? Throw in a ketchup and mustard and you might not just attract flies but also rolling lard bags who will chug 7 of them simultaneously.

Don't ban me... The thread's illogical. I thought it deserves it.

Now then... Who's the brave mod who will lock this flame bait of thread.



Let's see, did we also forget how much money Microsoft poured into advertising? Halo doritos, mountain dew, rss feed readers, and etc including a super bowl commercial I believe? Halo 3 was wayy more overhyped by the company itself than the fans in contrast to Killzone..



Play and/or create your own dream games below. Message for more info. ^_^

Anyone know how to set up a sig thing like I have for the 360 for the PS3? I am tempted to have both in my signature, if possible, and then get Killzone 2 when I get my PS3 back. Then I will have Halo 3 as my most recent game to be played, and Killzone 2 on the PS3 side. I should then also get Resistance 2, so that will be after Killzone 2. And then, I will play Gears 2 for the 360.

My hope is I cause a few the heads of some extreme fanboys to explode.

The game was hyped to be a "Halo killer", just like PS fanboys hyped KZ 1 to be one. Whats with the sales praise????

Halo 3 has a 3.8 MILLION opening week across all 3 regions. KZ2 is above 700k with Japan likely not gonna add much, maybe 30-50k opening week?

I mean, those are great sales yes, but did everybody forget what game this was supposed to beat???? I also want to add that KZ2 was bundled in Europe and Halo 3 wasnt.

 

Supposed to be by whose standards?  How about Sony's standards are to get an excellent exclusive FPS and develop a good engine they can reuse?  The game was hardly hyped as a "Halo Killer" except by the media and a VERY small percentate a few wacky Sony Fanboys.  Mostly it is brought up by Halo fanatics like yourself as a taunt.

Anyhow, you may want to chill.

GTAIV is the most expensive ever made and no figures are known for how much KZ2 cost to make, that is all speculation, nothing more.

You have no facts while valid arguments with facts to back them up actually are being brought up. It can't be damage control or spinning if you can not prove it wrong. Let alone try to do it while making obviously false statements yourself.

 

As for legs, someone got to that before me. 

A game doesn't need to sell over a million in it's first week in order to be considered successful. Add to that when it is releasing, in February, not the Holidays like most blockbuster titles, also the fact it has limited sales data seeing as how it released on Friday and games in the US most, if not always release on Tuesdays and let us not forget it is a sequel to a quite mediocre game.

It was a Halo killer. It killed Halo by being a much better game. As far as sales go, a better question is what accounts for all of the negative reactions to positive Killzone 2 sales. Seems like 360 fans are troubled by the fact that the new king of cosole fps games is now exclusively on PS3.

 

 This is wy i made this thread.....for ppl like you.

KZ2 killed nothing. Sales..........lol not even close. Reviews........nope. Online is different but Id say Halo 3 has a overall better and more well rounded multiplayer experience. Its better cause your opinion said so? I can guarantee more opinions.....millions more opinions.....say Halo 3 is better.

The fps console king is still Halo 3.



Why the positive reaction?

Because the majority of sane people predicted sales less to or equal to what it sold.

Again.. He's at it AGAIN.

Halo 3, basically what 360 is KNOWN for.. OF COURSE it's going to have higher sales, Jesus christ kid..

Reviews, who the hell cares? It got a 94 on metacritic SO what? Killzone is at a 91 THUS making it an AAA title.. And go look around, the GameSpot review/comparison, Killzone 2 won the overall AND online.. And i'm POSITIVE you can get millions to say halo 3 is better, from a bunch of 12 year old xbots that HAVE never owned a PS3/Played Killzone 2.

And who the hell put you in charge of declaring the fps king? I'm sick of your fucking trolling.
