well, thats what I heard from 360 fanboys over and over again, well listen to my story

So on a completly unrelated forum that has nothing to do with electronics or gaming or anything like that, one guys posts the age old questiong "360 or ps3"

being the first to post i listed quikly the reasons why I chose the ps3, I said, the 360 is a good system with great games, but the ps3 is more reliabe has great free online, and has many promising exclusives that appeal a little more to me.

well he asks me, what exclusive are you most excited for?

so I posted some killzone 2 pics, videos and information.....

well the topic is about 3 pages long of people saying "holy crap, i want a ps3 now". and the OP said "ya, im choosing a ps3"

there was, of course people who still sayed they loved there 360, thats not what this was about, I just find it funny how some people say killzone 2 wont be a system seller when already i know atleast 3 guys on that forum are getting ps3's now.

i think it will be a system seller if Sony markets the game correctly and it gets atleast an 8.8 score.

If Sony advertises the hell out of this thing like MS did Halo 2, yes, it could sell systems, but the game has to live up to the hype as well. We shall see.....

Is it just me, or does it seem like your not seeing alot of PS3 commercials. To me games like Lairs and Warhawk should have been advertised like crazy via television commercials by now. Sony to me really needs to step up there advertising game, and show off not only what the PS3 is capable of, but all the cool titles coming out soon for the system as well. You can't expect your average consumer to know about a certain PS3 title, if your not advertising that said title properly.

I think reviews will be very mixed... some will give over 9.0, some below 8.5. Killzone 2 is a system seller... I got a PS3 for 3 reasons: I had a PS2 and I want to continue playing my games, Killzone 2, and MGS4.

Killzone 2 will be a system seller if it gets great reviews, hype like crazy, and advertise like crazy.

i think that it could be a system seller. dark, gritty, fps games usually sell well to western audiences. however, it wont turn any heads in japan. if sony makes a bunch of tv adds during its launch period it should move a bunch of ps3's.

It will be a great game, but defintly not a system seller. I think the game that will give the ps3 "system seller status" will be MGS4. Wheter people are major fans of that game or not, it has multiple features in a game that everyone can enjoy. FPS mode through the whole game, or stealth, enviornment based help, war with you in it, andan epic story.I can see this game lifting the ps3 into the light.:D

It won't be a system seller like UT or Halo, the average gamer likes easy and simple FPSs, KZ2 seems to be less arcade-like now, it has cover, ironsights...

The last chapter in a game franchise like MGS, with it's story and unique gameplay, doesn't appeal to everyone. UTIII will be ps3's system seller.

In all honesty... show Killzone 2 and Halo 3 to a REAL non fanboy or anyone who are not regular at gaming sites...They would probably prefer Killzone 2. I've tried that to a few of my friends... they did like Killzone 2 more.. as for me... you already know the answer ;)

If I didnt have a PS3, id buy one just for Killzone 2. Im not even a FPS fan. Many people will buy a PS3 once they see Killzone 2.

yeah the next god of war game is why i got a ps3. too bad it hasnt even been officially announced yet. but im definitely looking forward to killzone 2 and mgs 4. and to the person that said if u show a non fanboy killzone 2 and halo 3 side by side that they will choose KZ 2. yeah i would, only bc yes i admit the graphics in KZ 2 are better, but graphics arent everything. halo is a way more proven franchise than killzone

agreed... marketing will play a big role on whether KZ2 can be considered a system seller (or any other potential game for that matter). the marketing team and community advisors at Bungie are really nothing other that geniuses for how they handle the Halo name.

killzone a system seller? oh hell no, if it comes out to rave reviews then it could become a system seller, but as it stands now, it shouldn't even be in the discussion

Killzone 2 has the potential to be a system seller. Marketing is the first step then is the game-play which will get everyone talking and actually getting the game.

oh i know i was just saying that if u showed someone that had no knowledge of either game, theyd probly choose KZ 2 only bc it looks prettier, but yeah i agree w/ u. id go w/ halo 3 all the way until i get some hands on w/ KZ 2

I think it can be a system seller, no matter what people say, most of them go for graphics and such.

when they show killzone 2 in stores and advertise it right, there will be no doubt it will sell like mad. not to mention GT5 will sell like crazzzzyyy i mean CRZZZYYY because it just looks fricking amazing. this holiday 360's will fly off shelevs and the install base will go to like 12 million but next year when the big stuff comes out for ps3s, we'll start to see the ps3 outselling both the wii and 360.

the Star Wars brand is enough advertisement alone.

one of the biggest franchises in movie history + an RPG game that is actually good = how can it not sell well?
