It would be entertaining to see what the real world thinks of KZ3. It would be a SW spectacle, like the world cup. Unfortunately, Sony had to release it 2 months later in order to salvage some sales. Why does Sony have to kill our fun?

So people who buy games in the beginning of the year aren't part of the real world?

Halo and COD are established popular franchises. It's pretty obvious that KZ3 will fly under the radar like EVERY other game released during Halo and COD.

This is Halo's 5th game not including Halo Wars. This will be Call of Duty's 7th game. KZ will release its 3rd game and will not have that kind of popularity.

Yeah. Sony should be STUPID and release KZ3 with the two largest console shooters. That makes a lot of sense. I mean that's the best way to guarantee KZ3 flops in early sales.

That's what Sony want ... right?

They're not going to. They want it to sell decently and not have commercial competition from COD

Exactly. They know their game can't compete with the top fps games on any level. Critically or commerically.

Lol, Halo isn't even close to the best shooter ever... CoD just plain sucks now. Critically, I think KZ3 will be on par easily.

I disagree. It's better then H3, and FAR better then MW2.

Of course you're free to disagree.

You would lke to see KZ3 fail because unlike millions of people, you hate it. You hate that it looks better than any of those games, you hate that it gets high rated reviews and is on par with most shooters, and mostly because it's a PS3 exclusive.

COD releases every year. MS knows this and will release Reach about 2 months before COD. Why don't you want to see Halo released the same day as COD?

Since Reach and Black Ops is out of the question, maybe they can go toe to toe with Gears of War 3 and release it on the same day.

Sony's sales would hurt if they relseaed them all together and they probably know that so I doubt they'll EVER release three major titles all together.

so what is the best shooter ever then?

I think KZ2 getting those score was a fluke especially coming of the back of the abysmall KZ

What about people who own both consoles? If they had to pick one game, it probably wouldn't be Killzone.

Zero_epyon

it wouldn't be such a problem for Halo contending with COD on the same day as it would for KZ3 if it where to happen.

But you want to maximise sales of course as both Halo and MW sell extremely well on the Xbox360.

it should be known by now that Halo FPS is successful and huge in it's own right - it has taken on the myriad of "Halo Killers" through out the years with stellar reviews, support and gameplay hours Halo, Halo 2, Halo3 and even Halo ODST.

can't say the same for KZ- the first one was a lemon with bad reviews to boot, glitches and overhyped to be "Teh Halo Killer"

KZ2 all graphics, with such a small online community and often a ghost town online.

KZ3 - All talk about only graphics again?!?

what is it going to have- single player linear levels like KZ2?

Will it finally have co-op?

better more responsive controls?

more colour and more varied enemies?!?

will online going to relatively be a ghost town again considering the "graphics king" of a game that it is?

Halos launch would over shadow pretty much any other series. Either way, people that want KZ will get it. I dont think the over lap is so great that KZs sales would be affected especially looking at first months sales. First day sales may be a ltl lower though.

Hypothetically if all 3 released.

Xbox360 Halo vs CoD -the sales between Halo andCoD would be extremely interesting and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people bought both and the Xbox started flying of shelves as a result.

PS3 KZ3 vs CoD - how did the sales of MW2 and KZ2 go again on the PS3? It would be lop sided.

Even if Sony release their exclusive shooters the same time as Halos and CODs, I don't think they have any exclusive shooters that would be as popular as CODs and Halos.

and put a game with a lot of bgs to market yup thatsa bright approach would rather wait the extra bit for a game that is of high quality and polished as much as possible instead of feeling like a 1/2 assed money grab a-la mw2.

Thats a stupid move, Sony is not stupid. If Killzone 3 was compared with Halo Reach & COD Black Ops the hype of the game would fall down which mean less games sold. Not only that but COD Black Ops will steal the cake easily, if I only had 150 dollars I would easily buy Halo & Black Ops.
