Good thing you posted this late in the threads existence. Proof that it was > killzone would have flared up the arguments 10 or so pages back :lol

Gamespot.com A site of honesty and integrity said:
One game apparently hit hard by the decline was the PlayStation 3 exclusive touted as a "Halo killer" by Sony loyalists, Killzone 2. After years in the making and a reported $21 million budget, the game sold just 58,000 units last month

Pretty sure CS said earlier on it was above KZ2 for the month and I was thinking your Gamasutra article was off on the 57k if so.

lol, No one said KZ2 was a Halo Killer. That was KZ1.

And 21 million? I thought it was 40?

Nobody knows the real budget but the $21 million looks to be the conversion of €16 million. This was the budget of the most expensive Dutch film. Killzone 2's budget is allegedly more expensive than that film. I think it's much more than that considering the development time and the laundry list of names in the 15 minute credits sequence.

Dunno if anyone's talked about this yet, but I think it's got some bearing on the hardware sales. Someone posted a thread over on the OT about Blu-Ray hardware sales. The average price of a standalone player is now $261, compared to $393 a year ago

So basically, I think we've reached the point where Blu-Ray compatibility is no longer a selling point for the PS3, due to the price difference. I think that's a major reason why it's down on last years sales and will continue to be for quite awhile.

I agree.

I bought my PS3 for Blu-Ray two years ago. This year when I needed a second player I got a standalone (Sony brand) one.

PS3 is a lot quieter than 360 but still too noisy once the fans kick in.
