i could use the same arguement in reverse...

how many sony fans predicted lower first week sales than they really belived likely or possible.

fact is... it isnt exactly setting the world on fire with extraordinary sales and isnt it obvious that THE most hyped game on the PS3 that is also a shooter is going to be the biggest selling title in america so far... whats the big deal?

So what's so disappointing?

You would have to admit that this game was hyped to hell on this site.

So you could say that sales are dissapointing compared to say H3 or Gears2.

Not at all.

Halo 3 came off a franchise where each game averaged 6-7M+ sold.

Gears2 came off a game with a 6M+ userbase.

Killzone 2 came off a game with a 2M+ userbase.

Halo 3 launched in the holiday season along with a price cut.

Gears 2 launched in the holiday season along with a price cut.

Killzone 2 launched in February with a $400 price tag that hadn't dropped for more than 14 months.

How easy it is to ignore everything isn't it. Not to mention that Killzone 2 internet hype has no relevance to real world hype so basing success or disappointment off that is already a mistake.

Funny that really I remember last year the PS3 was going to be pwning 360 without a price cut.

Now there most hyped games are not selling because of no price cut,.

I also remember gears one came off a similar install base as PS3.

Still no doubt I am incorrect.

@Bolded - Did I say that? No I didn't so don't use that on me. Although to be honest the 360 isn't exactly pwning the PS3 either.

Gears 1 was also the first blockbuster title on the 360 during the 2006 holiday season on a console who's predecessor was known as the "Shooter Box".

No matter how hard you or Kowenicki try Killzone 2 is not a disappointment.

You guys fail to realize that the PS3 and 360 demographics are DIFFERENT!!!!

No I said it.

No I said it.

Said that PS3 will pwn the 360 this year even without a price drop?

Alright, and that means what exactly?

And IMO, this is what's wrong with the industry. A company is trying to help it progress, and they get hated on. It IS pathetic, and when people realize this maybe things will change...

One day hopefully, although at the moment I doubt it.

The only reason Sony are busting there buns is because of 360.

I mean at launch with a 700 Euro price tag they could not be bothered to include rumble I mean cmon.

It has rumble now so why complain about it?

People keep bitching and moaning and Sony gives them what they want. People bitched about rumble, they got it.

People bitched about all those features on PSN that were lacking as opposed to LIVE, they got it.

People bitched about a lack of games, Sony really gave it.

So what does Sony get for it? More bitching and moaning.

If Sony dropped the price to $300 tomorrow I guarantee we would still have people complaining that it is too expensive.

Gran Turismo 5 will DEFINITELY take the crown, if not God of War III before that!

How many more times do we have to listen to these statements from Sony fans?

RFOM HAZE KZ2 GT5 MGS4 I mean the list is endless.

Respect is earned not given for goodness sake.

That is not to say KZ2 is not a brilliant game as by all accounts it is.

But 360 has some hot shit games as well that are as good as PS3 games.

Only difference is we dont have to keep saying just you wait.

Point been get over the fact that PS3 is no longer capabale of convincing anybody that it is superior to all other consoles.

Uhmm... they are talking about GT5 becoming the Sony game to reach 500k the fastest on the PS3 in the US. It has zero to do with all you just mentioned.

Way to completely misunderstand what was said. You need a chill pill.
