Why even put these games against each other like this? I swear, people TRULY forgot what gaming is all about .Both games are fun. Both games sold well, although Halo will always sell better than Killzone (even though it's still irrelevant).

And before you pull the "we're on a sales site" card, I'm aware of that, and like that this site tracks sales. I just don't see this as useful, in fact, I see it as abusing the site's purpose in the first place. This thread was not made with good intentions.

Agree with you totally.  Unless the sales of these games directly impact your livelihood, I don't see the relevance of comparing 2 games that both sold well other than for trolling purposes.

Yes, that's the way to do things.  Just silence those who don't agree with you.  I guess you should stop posting on any thread you don't argee with.  Heck, let's all just stop voicing our opinions all together.

Halo 3:ODST outsold ltd sales of Killzone 2 in only 24 hours. Halo:ODST outsells Killzone 2 - woohoo. Halo:ODST first week sales of around 4 million will be double the ltd sales of Killzone 2.

Hopefully Halo 3:ODST helps sells some 360 systems. X360>PS3 in weekly console sales for Halo:ODST launch week.

That's totally a fair comparison... Halo is far and away Microsoft's biggest franchise. Killzone isn't even close to being Sony's biggest.

KillZone was sony answer to Halo..Don't front like it's not


No it wasn't.  Only the fanboys hyped it up.  Sony will never have a FPS game to beat Halo in sales only, just like MS will never have a game to beat Gran Turismo.

LOL....The Whole GT5 thing is a whole nother thread...

And let's wiegh things out...After years of FPS games on PC....while Ps1 and Ps2 were out...out comes this Console FPS that proves the market for it on consoles...Followed by CoD and some ports...Oh I get it....Sony is just testing the market...they are kinda late...


That's right because no FPS came out on PS or PS2.  Wrong.  Hell, Doom was ported to SNES back in the day.

So..Sony makes DOOM is what your saying?


That's not really the point.  It's kind of rediculous to trash any company for coming into the FPS genre at a certain time, just because it was after the release of Halo.  Should no other FPS be released now because you would see it as copying off of Halo?  Sorry, but Halo didn't start or end the genre.  And technically MS doesn't make Halo.  They only own the rights to the franchise and to publish it.  It wasn't originally slated for Xbox until MS aquired Bungie.  So MS played their hand well and got a pretty good game.  That's just as Insomniac made Resistence and Guerilla Games made Killzone.

Fixed.

If you are talking solely about graphics  Killzone 2 wins over Halo 3/Halo 3:ODST. But story/ gameplay/ popularity/online and better controls. Halo series clearly wins over Killzone 2. Critics of Killzone 2 regard it as a boring generic FPS game with terrible controls - no Auto aim. Crysis has landed on the PS3 in Killzone 2. Great graphics  that's all.

The sales of the games tell the true story.

BTW:  It is so ironic that the same Sony fans who were celebrating Killzone 2 outsold Halo Wars an RTS game in sales. They are now saying it's not fair to compare Killzone 2 sales with Halo 3:ODST sales.
