I like Killzone, but yeah honestly, Infamous is the better game. I was addicted, and MAN, what a story! If there's truth to this, then its much deserved.

his theory is because infamous is a rated T so it is open to a wider age group than killzone 2

Good theory. Another one: too many shooters on the market, Killzone2 has way too much competition to be flying off the shelves. Infamous on the other hand is the first open world superhero game on the PS3. Until Prototype shows up, people looking for their power fantasy fix have only one option.

Infamous is really heavily advertised. I have seen the commercial so many times it's crazy. Mgs4, killzone and lbp didn't seem to get that much airtime.

To be honest, I like Infamous better than Killzone 2. Even though they are both 9/10 imo

I love the fact that I can keep on playing even once the game is technically finished! Random baddies keep spawning here and there, so its like I'm just fighting crime throughout the city.

There is a good reason why it's selling better.

PlayStation console was never into shooting genre. I hope the trend continues in upcoming years and we see more innovative, fresh and plain fun games.

Shooters have overcrowded the console market..

Hopefully this means people are going of Shooters.

I mean the PS brand has always been about a variety of genres in comparison to the X-box.

Everyone has made good points. Its a super hero game, you can choose alignments, an interesting story, rated T, a long game, good replay value, and not technically a shooter (although he still shoots stuff just not with a gun lol). Ive bought both games and ive put probably about the same amount of time into both overall. I wish the graphics were a little better in inFAMOUS and maybe less glitches and clipping but its still an excellent game only available on the PS3 lol.

I played this game for the first time at the local mall the other day, just messing with it on the demo PS3. I'm glad to hear this, makes me glad that there's stuff to do after you beat it. Bad thing is, I gotta wait for my PS3 to get fixed...damn.

No surprise there then, inFamous is a bit better than Killzone 2. Open world, super powers, gliding around cities and endless fun. I think that tops alot of games at the moment, :D

Great theory. 1. It's a great game. 2. It's different from most things out there. 3. It's a T rating.

titles way misleading it sells better in one gamestop store. also the end numbers will most certainly be inflated with the uncharted 2 beta thats packaged in with it.

Not surprising at all when you consider the massive marketing campaign inFamous had going for it. Kind of weird actually, you'd have figured KZ2 to be the game with a huge commercial campaign behind it. I honestly wouldn't be shocked to have seen it sell over 4 mil. if it's campaign had just been handled a little better before release.

I think it will sell more. I think in general, action games are still more popular genre than FPS...with the exception of something like Halo of course.

I hope inFamous ends up selling more than Killzone 2 as I found inFamous to be the superior game. I hope the trend of FPS games dominating the sales eventually wears thin.
