PS3 sales and Gamecube sales can hardly be compared.
The Gamecube came out selling at $249, the PS3 on the other hand came out at $499 and $599 and still managed to sell more than what the Gamecube sold in the same time frame in the United States according to the article.
The Gamecube only managed almost 22 million in it's entire 4-5 years on the market (according to Wikipedia), the PS3 on the other hand has been out for JUST a little over 2 years and is already at a...
Wow.... the soundtrack for Killzone 2 is pretty amazing... actually this surprised me a little and it's got me really looking forward to the story! I wanna download this so bad.
The Production values of Killzone 2 are just through the ROOF. I seriously don't see how the heck Maxim gave KZ2 a 3.5/5.... I guess they must have let one of the Models they photograph review the game just so it could get a score under an 4/5 or something, LOL.
I love the look of the Snipers in Killzone 2.
These pics are going up on my Ipod Touch, Laptop, and PS3 ASAP.
I think that maybe about half the people that bought GTA4 on the Xbox 360 will buy the GTA4 DLC, but I'll be surprised if it's more than that.
If the GTA4 DLC came out Late 2008 like it was Originally planned to be it would have sold more, but I think the delay to 2009 may have hurt it's sales potential a little.
Even if I had GTA4 for the Xbox 360 or if the GTA4 DLC was coming out for PS3, I would be putting my money towards new releases for Q1 2009 like KZ2, Street...
I haven't been inside a Gamestop store since I bought Gran Turismo 5 Prologue from their last April... I always avoid going to Gamestop whenever possible.
Sometimes I think that Gamestop shouldn't hire so many Gamers because that way, there probably wouldn't be so much Bias going on in Gamestop stores.
If I was that guy working at Gamestop, I would have offered the Official PS3 controller as the first option and would have offered the 3rd party controller as a second...
"Come on guys be honest, Killzone 2 is pretty but the gameplay is like fatguys shooting guns. Everyone moves like they all had 5 meals of McDonalds before the match started."
Like PirateThom pointed out, the characters in Killzone 2 move like a real solider would on the battlefield.
Killzone 2 is all about realism, it's not a Run-and-Gun shooter where you "glide" across the ground and nothing feels like it has weight.
To me Killzone ...
To me, the Hype for Killzone 2 is actually justified because the game actually lives up to the hype both graphically and gameplay wise.
Killzone 1 had tons of hype as well, but it was filled with glitches, framerate and A.I. issues. Killzone 2 on the other hand is the other way around and is polished like never before. The reason why I'm pointing this out because people are so quick to point out that Killzone 1 had the same hype like Killzone 2 but failed, yet those people that s...

As far as I'm concerned, the multiple Official Playstation Magazine reviews are more credible than this review.
Like I said in the Gamer Zone, I'll stick to Gaming Magazines and Gaming Websites for Killzone 2 reviews.
Maxim gave Resistance 2 a 5/5, but Killzone 2 a 3.5/5? I liked Resistance 2, but R2 is nowhere near the level of Killzone 2. The explanation
I'll stick to gaming websites and gaming magazines for reviews.
Like I said one time before, I expect most major gaming websites (Gamespot, IGN, Gametrailers, etc...) to give Killzone 2 a 8.5 or higher.
The 6/10 score that some website gave Metal Gear Solid 4 from some "Gamer Girl" website didn't damage i...
"....since I know for a fact that this game is not going to be genre defining,"
^^ I really can't stand it when people say that about Killzone 2.
Am I one of the only people that thinks that Killzone 2's First Person Cover System is genre defining? I mean, Killzone 2's Cover System is the first of it's kind, NEVER implemented in a game before.
Rainbow Six Vegas has a Cover System, but it switches to 3rd person view. Killzone 2's Cover System ke...
@Panthers,
This FF Advent Children Complete will have both English and Japanese Voice overs.

PS3 sales should be on fire in Japan once the Final Fantasy Advent Children bundles drop, and I definantly see these bundles on Ebay selling for some serious cash.
SquareEnix could probably sell the Final Fantasy XIII demo sepearately for like $20 or $30 bucks in Japan and I bet that it would sell faster than White Knight Chronicles and MGS4 combined.
As far as sequels go Killzone 2 and God of War 3 are on the top of my list from the games listed... but, I just have this feeling that God of War 3 might not make a December release, and will come out early 2010 (March), but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Even if God of War 3 doesn't come out this year, the PS3's lineup is already jam packed anyways because both Heavy Rain and Uncharted 2 are supposedly coming Q3-Q4 2009, and M.A.G. will probably make a Fall-Late 2009 r...
@rucky,
Socom Confrontation got delayed in Europe for a Early 2009 release, and I guess that's why it's listed as a 09' sequel.... the European version of SOCOM will probably be the "complete" version with fewer issues.... Sony should have delayed the entire game for all territories for early 2009 to begin with because it never should have been released in the state that it was in.
I went to Circuit City last night and the sales they had weren't exactly that exciting, but some sales were "pretty good", especially the DVD sale because all of the DVD's (and Blu-ray DVD's) were 20% off.
Last night I picked up a 4GB SanDisk SD Memory Card that was Originally priced at $29.99 and was marked down to just under $14 bucks, and that was a steal to me, so I just had to pick it up for that price.
I'll probably go back tommorrow or Tuesday to see...

^^^^There's a difference between Killzone 2 and Resisance 2, Motorstorm, and LBP.
The difference is that Killzone 2 is more anticipated than LBP, Motorstorm Pacific Rift and Resistance 2 COMBINED. The anticipation that Killzone 2 has is like the same kind of anticipation (if not more) that Metal Gear Solid 4 had.
Yeah I know, LBP got tons of hype, but that doesn't mean that it was a game that most PS3 owners were anticipating.
Resist...
Since Bioware is owned by EA, then I think that it's just a matter of time before the Mass Effect franchise comes to PS3.... there's just no escaping it.
I think the guy at Ripten that wrote this crap is just bitter that Killzone 2 actually lived up to be a great game.
After this, Sony shouldn't send Ripten anything else pertaining to their games at all ever again.
If Ripten does do a Killzone 2 review, I'll be sure not to read it because Dan Landis is the review editor and it's useless to read a review where the writer clearly has bias towards the game from the get-go.
"Wait...
why would you use a gaming console to look at youtube vids? No computer? "
Well.. there might be some people that have a PS3/Wii but don't have a Computer... although that's probably a very small amount of people because most people with a video game console have a computer.
I always use my PS3 to surf the web from time to time and watch Youtube videos, and to me sometimes it's better while doing so on my PS3 because I can watch it on a big s...
With the amount of great PS3 exclusives coming out this year, I think that there's a chance I won't buy a single 3rd party game because just the exclusives alone are good enough.
I have a feeling that God of War 3 might not make it until early 2010 because it really hasn't been confirmed for 09' by Sony and DC Universe is another game that I think may not come out until next year, but it's not really a game that I'm really looking forward too so it's not a big deal for me. I thin...
