PS3 owners snub Bulletstorm as game reaches million mark

It's a fact, PS3 gamers were not taken in by Epic Games' Bulletstorm as much as Xbox 360 gamers.

[shades72]

Ps3 owners weren't lured in by gimmicks.

[Abash]

Msxbox-world.com sure loves talking about PS3 related stuff

Oh and BulletStorm sold less on PS3 because of Killzone 3

[Abash]

Grow up when I'm calling it as I see it? Sounds like you should take your own advice getting riled up by my comment.

And for something just as relevant to 360, Msxbox-world.com are only focusing on the PS3's sales for the game saying "PS3 owners snub Bulletstorm as game reaches million mark"

[ZombieAssassin]

@Abash

Yea 3rd article in 24 hours from this site that has been Ps3 focused.

ONTOPIC: The game prolly sold so much more on 360 because of the EPIC games name (even though PCF made it), besides UT3 I don't think EPIC has done anything else on PS3.

[Tank_Commander_E6]

Never heard of it...was it any good?

[NateCole]

x360 fans love to complain about PS3 fans. Thats not news.

[BlackTar187]

I really enjoyed Bulletstorm. Thought it was a refreshing take away from the serious FPS out there. I would def. play Bulletstorm 2

[BattleAxe]

Bulletstorm looked stupid IMO, not to mention that Epic was stupid for releasing the game along side Killzone 3, and barely a month after Mass Effect 2 got released on PS3.

[Dragun619]

It's a fact, Bulletstorm came out the same day as Killzone 3 And Xbox360 version came with Gears 3 beta.

Smh at article.

[captain-obvious]

@Abash
they got nothing to talk about on the 360 and they still got a website to run so ...
i dont blame them at all

lol

[DarkTower805]

Bulletstorm was a very fun game, and anyone here disagreeing simply because the article is knocking PS3 owners is foolish. I rented the game and the story was a blast, but I never tried the mp because I'm not going to give EA $10 for something I might not like, but I saw Youtube videos and the mp didn't look all that great.

There are other games out there that can provide a better mp experience and warrant a purchase for the replay value, that's why as a PS3 owner I didn't buy it.

[evrfighter]

most played game on ps3 = what?

ya thought so

[BubbleSniper]

they should have a sister-site or a name change to SNYPS3-world.com

[SilentNegotiator]

Bulletstorm was over-rated. They just took a shooter and gave it slow-mo, silly weapons, gimmicky kills that were always setups, and a scoreboard. But forum junkies will praise anything that isn't "serius!!", regardless of the games quality *COUGH*Duke Nukem*COUGH*.

And what an ironic marketing campaign.
"LOL, Call of Duty sux, slow-motion moments, dumb AI"

And of course PS3 owners didn't buy it in the same numbers. They were busy with a well made shooter that wasn't trying to attract people with gimmicks. Namely Killzone 3.

[Spydiggity]

Sorry, but KZ3 was overrated. it's a very average game. Bulletstorm is a very average game, but nobody claimed it was amazing. so it's not overrated...just average. The difference between the 2: Bulletstorm is just lighthearted fun, and KZ is a dull, depressing drag.

[kikizoo]

spyddigity and other fanboys without exclusives, please, don't talk about games you don't even know, kz3 is underated (ps3 standard are higher) because of some stupid and biased reviews, most of the trusted media are giving 8 to 10 (12 to 14 if it was a xbox game with that graphic, technical quality).

[MysticStrummer]

@evrtroller - Relevance of your comment = what? Thought so.

[PROJECTbadass]

"They were busy with a well made shooter that wasn't trying to attract people with gimmicks. Namely Killzone 3."

this made me laugh. well made games dont need the amount of patching that kz3 has needed. kz3's mp is as broken as any game i have ever played on line. they are still fixing things that should have happened in that useless beta they released. i think kz got pretty generous reviews for a game as broken as it is. you can spraypaint a turd gold, but it is still a turd either way.

bulletstorm is an ok game, but its more of a rent than a buy. one playthrough is about it.

[zag]

If I remember correctly this games Advertising was all based around the 360, and in the very last quarter second there was something about it working on a PS3 or something like that.

I don't know about other people who have a PS3 but I'm probably not going to buy a 360 game if I don't own one and 99% of a game ADs are only about it working on the 360.

[thief]

for the same reason bayonetta never sold that well either - when you have killer exclusives like GoW3 or KZ3, why bother with sub-standard gimmicky games that xbox owners have to settle for?

"kz3's mp is as broken as any game i have ever played on line."
never played Gears 2 have we?
"They are still fixing things that should have happened in that useless beta they released."
No, they are supporting a game they released months ago, constantly listening to feedback. Something Epic would do well to learn.

PROJECTbadass - just checked your comment history
Sad. just sad.

[hay]

Bulletstorm is really good and fun game. I'll say it again. You kids wouldn't notice good game if it'd slap you the face.

[Keith Olbermann]

Ummm PS3 has had a crap load of exclusives. Thats why. Period.

[jeseth]

This game got released in the same time frame as Killzone3, Socom 4, Dead Space 2, MLB The Show, Motorstorm : Apocolypse and Mass Effect 2.

Hard for a new IP to break in when well known franchises have releases coming out . . .

Bulletstorm looks fun and I'll probably get it during a buy 2 used Get 1 free sale at Gamestop or if Amazon has a good sale. So all fanboy crap aside, Bulletstorm just came out at a bad time on PS3 and a better time on 360.

[ThanatosDMC]

Bulletstorm wasn't that good. Too many BS over the top actions.

[lil Titan]

BulletStorm sold less on PS3 because its a crap game, the only reason why it sold so high on 360 because it came with the gears of war 3 beta. i admire the step away from the serious FPS out there but this game does it wrong, Time Splitters is a WAY better game thats not that serious shooter but its done right and where is Time Splitters 4?

[afterMoth]

You are damn right I snubbed this game. Why? The demo wasn't fun, the graphics are dated (by PS3 standards) and the dialogue is beyond horrible.

PS3 owners have hundreds of better games to choose from. Heck I would have thought even xbox360 owners have plenty of better games to choose from. I could be wrong, if so then the pickings are getting pretty dang anemic on the 360 side.

[joab777]

Kinda funny that we all know why. First because of killzone 3, a huge ps3 exclusive, and second because its made by the creators of one of xbox's biggest exclusives, cliffyb and gears, which is also a killzone competitor. I'm not dumb enough to believe that bulletstorm was released w killzone by accident. It was to give Xbox a counter punch and steal a few from ps3. But, imglad PlayStation owners bought and played the better game, killzone. I remember people can fly saying that bulletstorm would blow uncharted away, that their whole game was like the train level...guess they were wrong

[Shepherd 214]

KZ3 has a good MP but its campaign is nothing to brag about. The story is lifeless, the main characters are boring, and the campaign levels are just to give you something to do.

KZ3 has better graphics and a well implemented MP, but thats it. I know that sucks to hear since KZ is suposed to be the PS3's Halo or whatever, but youre kidding yourselves if you think the campaign is anything more than decent.

[IcarusOne]

Can't stop lol-ing at all the KZ3 praise. People seem to be confusing graphics with an overall gaming experience. Underneath it's exceedingly polished veneer, Killzone is one of the stalest franchises of this generation. The trite story, the bland dialogue, the everything-done-before mechanics. Congratulations to the PS3. It's has some of the most beautifully ordinary exclusives of all time (UC and inFamous being the exceptions for me).

I give Bulletstorm props for at least trying something different and adding a sense of humor and style to the mix. And for not having Rico.

[Boody-Bandit]

How many exclusive mainstream titles were released in 2011 on the 360 vs the PS3? Oh, maybe that's why multiplatform titles sell a little higher on the 360. Just maybe.

What a silly article but what else is new.

You haters can down play Killzone 3 all you want. It doesn't discount the fact that on the PS3 Bulletstorm had titles to contend and nothing to go up against on the 360.

The only title I am looking forward to on the 360 this year is Forza 4 and that is only one of three exclusive titles being released this year and one is a remake. This really has been a great year for 360 gaming.

[jadenkorri]

wow, just another day, 360 fanboys trying to downplay KZ3 somehow, the worst is comparing it to bulletstorm, oh god... you could at least try a little bit rather than grasp at straws. Why are we even comparing it to a multiplat game, shouldn't you like be comparing to an 360 exclusive....oh...that's right...well good job. I still remember the same ol downplays on KZ2 when it was 2 years old. How N4G never changes..

[Lekumkee]

Maybe just maybe the Gears of wars 3 beta included in the 360 version had something to do with it? Or the game just wasn't that good. I'll take a little bit of both.

[Aloren]

The game was pretty good. It also got pretty good reviews, it's basically just as good as games like Crysis 2 or KZ3.

[WitWolfy]

Its only selling point was the Gears 3 Beta, like Crackdown main selling point was the Halo 3 beta that time.

Was an average game IMO. And was what people expected Duke Numkem to be, If they included campaign co-op I wouldve worship this game. Thats for sure!

But after finishing the campaign and playing the horde like MP for a while it quickly got oldd and lost its appeal

[Aloren]

Gears 3 wasn't its only selling point...It looks better than 90% of other games, the shooting is fun, and the single player campaign was quite enjoyable.

I've seen far worse games sell a lot more...

[nycredude]

game is boring as fuck with no story. Same old moves over and over again it got old fast. I tried the demo on ps3 and thought it subpar and boring. Then I gave it a chance on pc and thought the same thing. If you paid full price for this then you got had period. It's worth $20 to $25 max. I might get it then but I am back up already.

[Kon]

So why they were lured to PSMOVE?

[RememberThe357]

Because it's not a gimmick?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh I get it your trying to counter troll, my bad...

[Urrakia34]

Haven't tried PS Move yet but I still see it as a gimmick, just like Kinect.

[cochise313]

Still stealth trolling on ps3 articles huh? What does ps move have to do with the article?

[Bathyj]

No offence Urrakia34, but thats because you haven't played it.

I dont speak for that Playstation Heroes game or playing with a plastic golf club, but (and I'm say this for the umpteenth time) Sharpshooter on Killzone is NO GIMMICK. Its a better way of playing and a completely different and more immerse way of playing.

I relate it to playing GT with a Steering wheel, it can be done without it, but is so inferior with a control pad. The wheel (and Sharpshooter) is much better, at least for those that take on the learning curve.

Holding steady, slowing your breathing and squeezing a single shot to get that distance headshot in Killzone, is a thrill that can not be duplicated on any other platform, PC and arcade included. We're not talking a crappy on rails shooter here. This is a real FPS played in the best way possible. Every shooter should support it.

[jack_burt0n]

@bathy

It will be years till the masses actually realise how good move is.

Its like going back to the launch of uncharted and trying to tell ppl its a masterpiece LOL

[gamingdroid]

The bright ball and the gun attachment made it NON-gimmick! The crown jewel was when Kevin Butler convinced you it wasn't like the Wii at all.

[2v1]

some admin here that is no bias can ban kon the troll plz..

[Ravens20]

PS3 owners just don't like playing as a bunch of fatasses as much as the 360 guys do.

[Max_Dissatisfaction]

Exactly, ps3 owners like to escape into fantasy...playing as fat asses would be too close to home for them
@pixelsword, did you just compare the lifetime sales of a 4 year old game to those of a 4 month old game?
*phone rings*. . . .
Its for you, its Logic, wants to know why you never use it

[Ravens20]

So that means 360 guys like to keep it as realistic as possible?

By playing as feminine space power rangers and fatasses in tights they feel right at home.

[pixelsword]

@ Max:

1.Yeah, because playing as a space spartan is realistic.

2. Million means million, the timeframe is not significant, the sales numbers do; that's why you yourself undermined your point by saying lifetime sales. If million means success, then it doesn't matter how long it took as long as you got there. If million by a certain date meant success, then you would have a point; but you don't.

That's the funny thing about logic: you can't use it partially.

[Lord_Sloth]

Exactly, Ravens20. i am so tired of playing characters who look like they've consumed a small village of raw protein.

[pixelsword]

Bulletstorm + million = achievement

Heavenly Sword + million and a half = disappointment?

Facts + fanboys = garbage.

At any rate Bulletstorm didn't sell well on the PS3, but it wasn't because of Killzone or Mass Effect; Bulletstorm didn't sell well on the PS3 because of Bulletstorm.

If Bulletstorm was a competitor of Killzone in terms of graphics or Mass Effect in terms of Story then maybe Bulletstorm would have sold, but since it lacked on both areas with competing games, it deserved to sell as low as it did in comparison to the other games.

[the_kutaragi_baka]

Ps3 owners weren't lured in by gimmicks"

funny, the MOVE sell around 8 millions...

and lol @ tards believe a multiplatform game has no chance competing with Killzone.Lets not forget the Killzone is still a small fanbase gamers.

[memots]

Better on pc anyway , Looks actually quite good, Simple but effective shooter, Forgettable story.

[nycredude]

Looks shit on pc also, a bit better than console but still shit.

[mastiffchild]

It's a VERY average game with NO replay value and Epic knew PCF hadn't made a game as good as Painkiller this time round so stuffed it full of lame cock gags and stuck a Gears3 beta invite on it so it would, at least, pull a Crackdown on 360 and sell OK(ish)-not that the cock gags are platform specific(I certainly don't have a preference for which console gives me my genital based humour) but there was definitely no incentive anything like as good to buy it on PS3 now was there? It's a non -story.

Sadly, I had this game pinned,much as I had (wrongly in this case) Vanquish before it, as probable perfect rental fodder and in Bulletstorm's case I wrong too-it wasn't even a great rental. I =hate it when there's obvious effort put into a game but it's so aimless that the whole is a mess of ideas that either don't hang togeher or fall over each other never getting fleshed out enough to be really interesting.Buletstorm's biggest shortcoming was BECAUSE of opne of it'sstrengths too-the enemy AI was,largely useless so ou could treat them like idiots and pull of skill kills they HAD to be idiots so whenever they did the,usually, decent thing ofacting like a decent enemy and try to flank you, or, idk, actually move to cover it went against a core mechanic which tended to have you needing he enemy AI together to pull of the skills.

The rsultant mix of it being mindlessly easy and then totally frustrating without ever being dangerous was just not what that many gamers, on either console wanted. I'd say, for it's time, painkiller was a million times better then when you add in the release of KZ3(on PS) which was both a better game and had decent(though worse than KZ2's) MP which was absent from B'storm then it becomes pretty clear EXACTLY why that Gears3 beta made it sell a little better on 360-they had no shooter exclusive that month AND this carried a beta for their systems biggest game of the year!! Talk about a story that didn't need telling!

Also, I remember Cliffy talking about B'storm as being cable of doing what Gears3 did and building to a 6million+ series by game 2. That was just after announcement and that talk, even from Cliffy,went quiet very quickly as they must, themselves, have realised the game was one dimensional. So there you go: didn't sell on PS3 as there was a better choice with more value and sold a little on 360 as there was no competiton AND a big incentive with that Gears beta. Chirst, we all called this before launch.

[Queefy_B]

It had the gears 3 beta and was an fps so no sh*t.

[NyGiants7]

I personally just think PS3 is more of an adult console, mainly teens play 360 and that's what Bulletstorm was going after.

[WitWolfy]

Thats the biggest pile of bull Ive ever read. This game was just plain aweful, lackluster story line and forgettable characters.

Saying one console is more immature then another is just idiotic.

[Lord_Sloth]

I'm sorry, WitWolfy, have you tried XBL? I have and all I got was cussed out for winning, called every obscenity in the book by perfect strangers just for being there, and even kicked for doing well, not even winning. Just doing well.

I asked "How's every1's game goin today?" trying to make conversation when 1st playing a game on XBL and ya know what I got? I for told to "Shut the **** up" by some kid on the other end. That didn't stop no matter how many different rooms I went to.

It sure failed the mature audience test to me no matter which game I played.

[PROJECTbadass]

@lord sloth

give everyone on ps3 a mic and you will get the same result. PS3 users dont use mics or they dont have them. any game i have ever played on ps3 is basically silent.

saying the ps3 is a more adult console is just another way for these fanboys to convince themselves they are superior. this site is a good example of immature ps3 gamers.

[Muffins1223]

bulletstorm sold more on pc than ps3,ps3 people are big shooters...ps3 really dosent have a shooter fanbase,and dont say killzone and shit ,if you compare that to gears, or halo,(halo sold 8 million,and cod only sold 12...) it dosent live up to the fanbase xbox/pc users have

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

"Ps3 owners weren't lured in by gimmicks" Yet you defend Move.

Multiplatform games are known to sell more on the 360 about 95% of the time. PS3 even has a hard time keeping up with 360 exclusives in sales.

[gaden_malak]

"PS3 even has a hard time keeping up with 360 exclusives in sales"

Lol, only Halo and Gears sell massive for 360 exclusives. The others are on par with PS3 most ps3 exclusives (excluding Uncharted, MGS4 and GT)

[Why o why]

'360 exclusives'

sorry, had to. time will tell if either move ( a peripheral) or bulletstorm (a game) were gimmicks. Ive seen some serious fraggers using move and some great gameplay from bulletstorm. Calling something a gimmick is down to the users sometimes but comparing the two is a little silly, whoever threw that up as a response was kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel....kinect anybody??

[marinelife9]

PS3 owners have other stuff to play.

[Undeadwolfy]

zing!

[Blaze929]

bulletstorm was a terrible game. if it wasnt for the Gears 3 beta, i bet many of those copies on 360 would not have been sold

[otherZinc]

This is why Epic should have made Bullet Storm exclusive to the 360 so it could have "campaign"co-op.

We know it can be done on the 360, Gears 1, 2, & 3 showing 4 player co-op proves that. This game would've sold over 1million inside of 2 months.

@guys talking Killzone 3 sales:
You guys act like Killzone 3 sold like a AAA title should: like Gears, Halo, COD. Killzone 3 didn't sell anything like that. So, what the hell are you guys talking about?

[Pillville]

The reason for no multiplayer is the skillshot/slowmotion feature.

Cliff B said it himself:
http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

How you going to have multiple people playing in real time if one person is seeing slow motion?

That's also why Fallout doesn't have multiplayer (V.A.T.S.)

[Inside_out]

.
Going up against Killzone 3 while Sony spent the whole month with a beta and a Demo gave the game a very low chance of success on the PS3 platform. Sony not only sabotaged Bulletstorm but Crysis 2 as well. Epic and Crytek should of went exclusive with M$ and they would of done much better.

If Bulletstorm had gone exclusive on 360 with an exclusive Gears of war demo and a beta key for the multi-player beta, the game would of been a smash hit with well over a million units sold on 360 alone. No real multi-player hurt the games chances as well.

I hope Epic learned a valuable lesson. Stay away from EA and Sony. Hopefully, Crytek have learned their lesson as well as PS3 fanboys attacked that game to no end and still attack it regularly. Sony really showed that they don't care about third party games...Bulletstorm and Crysis 2 really paid the price.

[the_best_player]

Bulletstorm was meh

[M-A-R-S-H-A-L-L]

Hey look! It's evrfighter, trolling in an article yet again and provides nothing to continue the discussion!

The PS3 has something called 'variety'. Maybe this site should do some research before they spew garbage in the first place.

[frostypants]

Bulletstorm was fun and had a cool original way of playing online, but was overpriced. Should have been $40 at launch.

It was still a helluva lot more fun than the Gears 3 beta, though.

Also, it's no secret that 360 players tend to be more into these kinds of games. I bought it for the 360 for that very reason (more people to play with).

[Frostbyte]

God. Why are you PS3 owners so concieted and full of yourselfs. Always running around on this site acting like your all superior. Bulletstorm was ok, it might not be the graphical powerhouse kz3 was but that's no excuse to pit down and trash all the hard work people at PFC did on bulletstorm. You guys are pathetic look at yourselfs.

[frostypants]

Um...they're just responding to the article, ya troll.

Why DIDN'T PS3 owners buy it, in your opinion?

[Andronix]

Cliffy B. Is a big character in the industry which is great. But he is so big he is seen as the face of Epic. The problem is he is also regarded as a 360 evangelist. He regularly makes comments about how he hates the DualShock, and the PS3 is not his favoured console. The implicit message is that Epics PS3 games are half-hearted ports. This may or may not be true but If Epic want to have parity between sales of their 360 and PS3 games then they have to work hard to convince PS3 owners that they put 100% effort into the PS3 versions.

[Tru_Ray]

Agreed. Cliffy B is one of the biggest douche bags in the gaming industry. He has made it clear on innumerable occasions where his loyalties lie. PS3 gamers are not going pay $60 for a third rate game when KZ3 and Crysis 2 are available. It is not that difficult to figure out why we snubbed this lame game.

[afterMoth]

3

[Mizz_mai]

I Know the answer to this KILLZONE 3,see bots when you have choice you can pick a better one :)

[maddfoxx]

Or maybe its because PS3 owners were getting multiple exclusives during Bulletstorm's release. There was LittleBigPlanet 2 in January and Killzone 3 in February. Games like Mass Effect 2(PS3) and Dead Space 2 also released around the same time.

It probably sold more on the 360, because 360 only owners had fewer games to buy in that time frame.

Edit: Oh, and the 360 version of bulletstorm had the Gears 3 beta.

[Tempist]

Yeah this is a bad thing how exactly?

[showtimefolks]

i bought it used at gamestop buy 2 get one free sale. and no way in hell is this game worth a full 60 bucks.

it doesn't have anything to do with epic games or ps3 owners this game has boring online and a single player you can beat in 7-8hrs

and i bought killzone 3 over this and not ashamed to say that because much more replay value

[evilmonkey501]

Ps3 users weren't lured because ps3 users have to many games to chose from, unlike another system out there.It has less to do with the game and more to do with choices.

[Silly gameAr]

Could have something to do with KZ3 releasing the same day. Not sure though.

[shades72]

PS3 owners only buy one game now? If you look at the source link it's based over 10 weeks. Surely once the buzz of KZ3 died down you'd buy other games? I did and enjoyed both games.

[BrianG]

I'm sure PS3 owners buy more than 1 game. I do, but I don't do it on the same day very often at all. I usually wait a month or two to get another, some might wait longer.

But either way it is hard not to argue that KZ3 releasing the same day had an effect. Both FPS's, so same genre.

[Silly gameAr]

I didn't say that. Why are you trying to twist my words? I'm sure KZ3 being released around the same time had plenty to do with the poor Bulletstorm sales on PS3. Some people just don't have the money to buy more then 1 game so close together.

Or it could have something to do with Cliffy B saying they had to release it on the same day to f*** with KZ3? I kind of doubt that one, but who knows man.

[Laika]

i bought killzone. bulletstorm just never did it for me. demo wasnt all that fun. plus with so many other better games coming out why waste my money on a game i dont care about.

[Ju]

I rented. It was refreshing. Releasing with KZ3 wasn't smart. Actually, when that wore off, I got Socom4 instead. Bulletstorm was worth the rental, but it didn't really warrant a purchase for me.

[Pedobear Rocks]

If I have my choice of ratty ass multiplat bs or exclusive made for my hardware games....what do you think we should choose?

[Jack-Dangerously]

Lol wow. Good freak out bra.

[shades72]

Bulletstorm released on 02/25/11 that's almost 16 weeks ago. In that space of time the game only managed 200K sales on PS3.

I agree with you that even after the first 4 weeks going head to head with KZ 3 would affect sales, but I would not think it would last 16 weeks later. It just sounds like PS3 gamers are not interested in this game period.

[fucadastates]

well after kz3 for the first 4 weeks, other new games came out.. and people got them. bulletstorm was old news at this point.
but one million for a new ip, thats awsome.

but.. if not for the GeoW beta.. would it even sell that much?

[BlackTar187]

shadesz you need to calm down.

[mastiffchild]

@fucadastates-you're right and the fact is the game is nowhere near as good as Crackdown1 was which is the only other time I recall a game getting as big a sales boost on a platform via a beta key give away. Most of us bought Crackdown, if we're honest,not cos it looked cool at the time(which it did) but because it had that precious Halo3 beta key with it and the same is true of Bulletstorm.Sadly, as it isn't as good a fame as that was it didn't spread by word of mouth and relatively few after that bought it for either system and by the time everyone who wanted the beta key had one and the buzz for KZ3 died down we were all eyeing new games anyway.

A sequel would sell even more poorly unless they reboot almost entirely and add a ton of features to the game or find an even bigger beta to give away with it. IDK how Vanquish sold myself but as another shooter without MP(which I first rented)I'd say that the lack of it affects sales fromthe start.Now, I went back and bought that game as there wer still interesting challenges to be had(to huis dy ith replays but there isn't the same level of challenge on Bulletstrom even with online leaderboards or with mates because the game doesn't lend itself to anything but showing off and you're STILL subject to where the daft AI wants to stand most of the time for skill shots/kills.

We've seen games, even when PS3 had sold way less consoles than 360, sell better worldwide on the PS3(I remember as far back as RE5 and TR;U this happening)before and on this occasion I see a reason for sales on 360 but very few reasons for sales on PS3 and more competition to boot on that platform at that time and in the same genre and exclusively. There's less mystery here than there,maybe, is in the way TR:U sold better on the platform where it DIDN'T have exclusive DLC.

I hate stories like this,made just to knock another platform for no good reason.Had it NOT had that beta, a big 360 exclusive had also released at the time and it still had the same figures then maybe(though as it's shit still possibly not) there would be some interest in the story but as it is it's a no brainer to me and a flamey one to boot.

[Philoctetes]

You do realize that other games besides just Bulletstorm and KZ3 have come out in the last 16 weeks, right? It's not like PS3 owners finished KZ3 and then had no choice but to go back to Bulletstorm if they wanted games to play.

[NukaCola]

PS3 owner here. Didn't care that much.

[news4geeks]

I don't think many cared outside of 360 gamers. I'm not taking a shot at them but the typical run of the mill shooters always sell best on that console. Likely a result of the 360 gaming demographic being majority american and majority teens.

[mastiffchild]

Gears3 beta.the only way you could get much value out of a shooter with little actual challenge and no MP. With KZ3 to choose instead and no gears3 beta why would a PS3 only gamer be interested in buying the game? I don't even think the "shooterbox"myth can be brought into play here when it's a case of Crackdown1 syndrome without the quality of the first Crackdown to bolster the legs of the game.

[Redgehammer]

According to the ESA:
America's entertainment software industry creates a wide array of computer and video games to meet the demands and tastes of audiences as diverse as our nation's population. Today's gamers include millions of Americans of all ages and backgrounds. In fact, nearly three-quarters of all American households play games.

[WhiteLightning]

The only thing which bugged me when it was released along side Killzone 3 is that most reviewers would give games a low score just on the fact that a game dosen't have a full online yet Bulletstorm got a free pass.....what's up with that.

[pixelsword]

*looks around and whispers*

PS3 exclusive

*runs away*

[ElementX]

I bought KZ3 and Bulletstorm.

[Aussiegamer]

Yeah I bought both and loved both, although bulletstorm was not the game killzone 3 was it was still enjoyable. I also picked Bulletstorm up really cheap like 3 weeks after release and it was a really fun game, at the end of the day thats all you ask for. And I dont seem the big deal that ps3 owners didnt buy this game, not everyone can afford to buy unlimited amounts of games so people are always going to pass on something.

[Surfaced]

Pretty sure Killzone 3 released on the same day.
Just saying many console owners would chose an exclusive instead of the worst version of a multiplat.

[ArchangelMike]

hmm let me see... Killzone3... Bulletstorm. Killzone3... Bulletstorm...
...4 months later...

yep. Still Killzone3!

[omi25p]

I bought bulletstorm Day 1 and loved it. 2 weeks later i bought killzone 3 and traded it in the week after. I still own bulletstorm though

[thekiddfran]

Why did you trade in killzone 3?

[NoobJobz]

The same reason anybody trades in a game. Didn't like the game, needed money, or traded in towards purchase of new game.

[omi25p]

I traded it in because

1. Hated the story

2. hated the characters

3. The game was really highly detailed but lacked colour

4. I only like one gamemode but there are only three maps for that gamemode and they arent doing anymore

5. I wanted to do co-op campaign across psn but for somereason they only had splitscreen

[Biggest]

He traded it in because he never bought it. Only an insane person would trade in a game with high replay value and keep the game with zero replay value. The real answer here is: TROLL!

[Pedobear Rocks]

Great...you love arcade shooters.

[Jack-Pyro]

And you love children....a little too much...

[Aloren]

Well, it's not like KZ is a simulation...

[jack_burt0n]

edit:whoops did not realise it was million combined yeah ps gamers should pick it up.

[Agheil]

Cmon guys the game is pretty epic

[WitWolfy]

Ill agree that its better then Duke Nukem

[Tigerfist]

I've tried it and I couldn't play more than a few minutes...

Cheesy and lame jokes, bad AI, gimmick mechanics and QTE ahoy! Oh the joy...

[NYC_Gamer]

this game is pure garbage thats why its not selling

[solidjun5]

agreed. However you see scores of 8 and 9 everywhere. Especially for a 5 hour game with no replay value and not really a MP.

[thekiddfran]

That is because cliffy B had some part in the development. One of the biggest assholes in gaming yet the media love him!

[solidjun5]

@thekiddfran agreed.

[resistance100]

Never really had any interest in it. Still yet to pick up Killzone 3. Will have to soon now its hitting the £15 mark

[JasonBloodbourne]

£9.99 for bulletstorm in argos mate also mass effect 2 on ps3 also £9.99 i got both yesterday

[despair]

It was good mindless fun and enjoyable, but I played through once and never touched it again and its not that long a game.

[stephmhishot]

"It seems Epic Games' foul mouthed and "lairy" shooter has just surpassed the 1 million sales mark no thanks to PS3 owners though."

Well considering 200 thousand sales still came on the PS3, I'd say there is some thanks to be had, because otherwise the game would not have just surpassed the million sales mark now would it?

[strange1986]

That's exactly what I was thinking. Bubs+ for you my friend.

[MrBeatdown]

Funny that they say "no thanks to PS3 owners" even though Epic enticed multiplatform buyers to get it on 360. Had the PS3 version had a substantial edge while the 360 version didn't, or had at least been on equal ground, I'd imagine the sales breakdown would look quite a bit different.

It was more or less Epic's decision and many PS3 owners just bought it for their Xbox instead.

[stephmhishot]

I agree. Even if, lets say a multi-console owner might have preferred it on their PS3 for some reason, they were going to get it on the 360 because of the Gears beta.

[coryok]

when i went to the store on release day i had to decide between killzone3 or bulletstorm... obviously killzone 3 won

[MachoMoustachio]

More people bought Bulletstorm on Xbox 360 because it came with a voucher that granted access to the Gears of War 3 multiplayer beta.

That's why it sold better on Xbox 360.

Killzone 3 sold 1.6 million copies by the way.

[refocusedman]

It's called brand loyalty. Epic has made a name with 360 owners by creating gears. Im sure people who werent to sure what bulletstorm was abt saw epic games and figured " hey gears is good so I should give this game a try". This article is kinda silly. I sure epic as a company expected it to sell better on 360. Not to mention its a new IP and to be real its not like it sold halo numbers on 360 or even fable numbers for that matter

[RememberThe357]

I played the demo and liked it, but I never decided to play it. I just ended up moving on. I'll probably try it this month or next.

[SweatyFlorida]

Tried the demo of bulletstorm, didn't like it much, tried the demo/beta of Killzone 3, fell in love with it :3

So got Killzone 3 :D

[MachoMoustachio]

Also, don't forget that Xbox 360 fans are whores for first-person shooters.

Crysis 2, Homefront, Bulletstorm, Call of Duty all sell better on Xbox 360.

But I guess the alternative is that fighting games sell better on PlayStation 3.

Street Fighter IV, Tekken 6, Mortal Kombat, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 all sell better on PlayStation 3.

[Aloren]

I wonder why people disagreed with you...

[Pollak]

They disagreed because CoD is the best selling game on the PS3 just as it is on the 360.

[M-A-R-S-H-A-L-L]

Because he speaks the truth and no one likes to hear the truth.

[Undeadwolfy]

This ^

[STICKzophrenic]

Xbox 360 AND PS3 owner here and I didn't care about the game at all. I bought a used copy just to see if the beta codes would work, and they didn't so I returned it lol.

I was more interested in Killzone 3, though I didn't buy it until a couple weeks ago.

[yewles1]

Maybe... JUST MAYBE... PS3 owners got sick and tired of Cliff's trolling, and decided "screw you" and ignored the game.

[Aloren]

Except that probably 9O% of PS3 gamers (or even gamers in general) have no idea who Cliff is.

[BrianC6234]

This game didn't impress me at all. I can only buy so many games so no thanks.

[dafada]

exactly.....i work hard for my money so i would rather not blow it on some cheesy ass game when i could save it for a good one

[BeastlyRig]

I swear kz3 sold a lil over a million.. Could be wrong though..

[sashimi]

okish new IP doesn't sell lick gangbusters and xbox fanboys blame the Ps3? lol i thought people on the 360 bought games, so why such lame sales.

Either way i picked up Killzone 3 instead of this game which did not really interest me at all, but now that it is down to $25ish i might consider buying it.

[Ser]

I don't care if it was made by Epic, the game just didn't interest me at the time. To be honest, it still doesn't interest me...

EDIT: I totally forgot that Killzone 3 came out around the same time, which was a major deciding factor in my decision to not buy Bulletstorm. Thanks for reminding me, bloodybutcher. I got the Helghast edition as well. :)

[bloodybutcher]

didnt like the demo so no buy.kz3?yes,got it.helghast edition.

[Killman]

I was able to get Bulletstorm relatively cheap and it is worth it if purchased for a low-ish price. It just doesn't have enough to warrant a purchase that is any higher than $30. Its a nice, yet small change of pace, even though the story and humor fall flat. To me, to have both side-by-side at a $60 price tag each, Killzone 3 would be my pick, so I assume that other PS3 owners thought the same thing.

[InTheLab]

Every time two or more games get released on the same day, PS3 gamers have choices to make. This year is packed with PS3 exclusives so we should expect MSxBox to bring up how 360 gamers buy more multiplats than PS3 gamers while neglecting the obvious reasons why that's usually the case.

You get the guaranteed hit- Killzone 3
You get the potential cult classic- Bulletstorm
You get both
Or you do the best thing which is waiting for a Steam sale so you won't spend $60 on a $30 game.

Lastly, I guarantee Bulletstorm would have done PS3 numbers where it not for the beta or if a high profile 360 exclusive dropped on the same day.

Incidentally, does anyone know how those other games that released the same day as inFAMOUS 2 did with sales? Does anyone even remember what other games came out that day?

[paladinaz]

Come on:
Bulletstorm is a shooter
Bulletstorm has a Gears 3 Beta
Killzone 3 rivals Bulletstorm on PS3
Bulletstorm is a game aimed more at teenagers
Bulletstorm is a game for americans

Many reasons why it sold so much more on Xbox360... No need for a war.

[Louis_Guzman]

Still playing Vanquish, thanks. Funny thing though, BS sold the same as Vanquish but needed a huge Ad campaign, while Vanquish sold on word of mouth. Next time Sega, give your games a marketing budget. K, Thanks.

[Krakn3Dfx]

I pre-ordered the game for the PS3 on Amazon, got it, and in retrospect, wish I hadn't.

It's not a $60 title IMO, maybe $30-$40 at best.

[Bathyj]

I admit, I didnt give Bulletstorm much of a try. A quick go of the demo at a friends house in fact.

I even admit there may be more to it than I thought, what with the skillshots and such.

But 5 minutes in, its was the fratboy, gungho, gruff BS that sh*ts me about Gears of War that turned me straight off BS (hey Bulletstorm even abbreviates the same as bullSh*t, unintentional pun)only Bulletstorm didnt have the cover system and tactical side of Gears that saves it.

And I dont care how cheap it gets, I've got to many other games to go back to that I WANT to play, rather than this.

[IHateYouFanboys]

if KZ3 is the reason why the PS3 numbers are so low, can anyone tell me why KZ3s numbers are also still very low then?

PS3 owners dont buy as many games as 360 owners, thats a fact. the 360 has the highest attach rate of any console in history - higher than the PS, the PS2, the xbox, the wii, the PS3, and every other console.

maybe more people bought it on the 360 because, not only did it have the Gears beta, it is BETTER on the 360? the controls are tighter, the graphics are better - especially the lighting - and more people will be on the multiplayer. ever think of that?

and hey, Bulletstorms Metacritic score is pretty much even with GT5 and Killzone 3, so obviously its not a case of the PS3 exclusives being better.

[Bathyj]

The controls are tighter, the graphics are better?

Look, I didnt want to say this, but if you're going to just start making things up, I will.

Maybe a 6 hour dick joke dressed as a game just appeals more to the Xbox demographic.

Ever think of that?

[gypsygib]

@IHateYouFanboys:

You must hate yourself...

And Killzone 3 sold more than Bulletstorm and it's only on one system as opposed to 3, quite a bit more actually.

Sony made their money off of it.

[blink3020]

KZ3 and Bulletstorm. Both overrated games. Enough said.

[undercovrr]

The problem with the game is that it has terrible lasting appeal. The game is really fun, but once you beat the SP (6 hours approx) you maybe play the multiplayer for a few more hours but thats about it since there are no competitive modes.

The game is not worth $60, its a rental

[blackburn10]

Ummmm, I can't speak for other PS3 owners but BS was crap. Pointless story, dumb A.I. repetitive attacks, dull levels. Even the gimmick was basically bullet time an over used concept. If KZ3 did what BS did it would have gotten below average scores while trolls and haters mocked it and the reviewers calling it a tragedy and every name in the book. But because the game has Epic's name plastered on it, it gets a free ride from reviewers. Glad to see that my fellow PS3 owners are still sensible enough to know junk when they see it.

[HacSawJimThugin]

It was something fresh in a VERY STALE genre. I hope these sales figures doesn't discourage devs from taking chances on new IP's. I happen to like out of the norm games like BulletStorm and it was not as bad as some people make it out to be. Getting skill shots called for creativity versus the standard fare with most FPS. If you didn't like it whatever...KZ3 has an established fan base of course it out sold Bulletstorm but in it's defense at least I got to play the beta!!LOL

[TBONEJF]

I didn't even bother buying that game so I'm not part of that million mark

[fullmetal297]

Why would any PS3 owner want a voucher for a 360 exclusive?

[ATiElite]

Only reason 360 owners bought the game was for the Gears3 Beta and that's it.

PS3 and PC owners had NO and ZERO reasons to buy this crap.

across 3 platforms and 900k
even the Pirates didn't want it as those numbers were low.

[gypsygib]

I have a 360, Bulletstorm sucked. It is the worst game I've played in a while actually.

[Foxhound922]

Yeah I know, its sucks being a ps3 because there are so many games to buy....sorry epic games...

[Veeger]

I like it. I bought it for PS3 but my purchase didn't count as it was preowned. And I did it on purpose, not because of money. I don't support Cliff B. I think he is a self-indulged idiot and he won't make living out of my cash.

[Trinioutsider34]

I like this game glad I added it to my collection...Got it the same day I got KZ3,first time I ever brought two brand new games on the same day...

[Orionsangel]

Bulletstorm was a pretty badass experience and definitely worth $29.99. It's way better than the outdated simplistic piece of crap that was the $59.99 Duke Nukem Forever.

[Tigerfist]

The funny thing is that I actually had more fun with Duke Nukem even with all of its flaws.

[Orionsangel]

That's because you're a Duke fan. The average fan of FPS games will pick Bulletstorm over Duke.

[Pyscho_Mantis]

HAHAHAHA DONT MAKE ME LAUGH I WILL NEVER PLAY THAT HUNK OF SHIT EVEN IF IT WAS FREE

[xtremegamerage]

And that's exactly what i'm doing atm regarding all games.

Any games that i know i'll just play the SP, i'll wait till they are cheap, what's the rush.

Recently i've just completed RDR,Bioshock 2. Some of the best games i've played for awhile tbh.

I'm playing Red Faction Guerrilla atm, enjoying it:) Destruction is good.

Also playing Brutal legend, fun game.

As for MP.

I'm waiting for the games i really want just for MP, but will enjoy the SP just the same.

BF3
RES3

Uncharted games i just love for SP anyway.

So i'll be picking up Infamous 2,Bulletstorm etc later on:)

And i'll still get the same enjoyment as if it were new:)

[KongRudi]

I'm a PS3-owner.
I try to support new IP, looked at the game up to release but it just didn't look that great to me. Not much into multiplayer, more into big story.
I picked up Killzone 3 instead, it were cheaper, since it were a first party move-title aswell, and a game I were very excited for, and definately a game I were satisfied with. My second game at the same time were Motorstorm - Apocalypse, and third were Top Spin..
When those were played through I've picked up Socom 4, Virtua Tennis and now Infamous 2 on the PS3.
Also picked up a few PC-titles, but don't think I will ever get around to getting Bulletstorm. :-/

[earbus]

You cant really blame killzone 3 not many people got that either ps3 owners are holding out for more remakes to whine about,so happy with my sony blu ray player xmb is very ps3,great internet tv and bravia sync is sweet no need to get another ps3 now as the games are not to my taste.

[kornbeaner]

I actually liked the demo for this game, but my problem with it was the price, $60 is a lot to pay for a game now-a-days. I reserve that high price for a game that I know I will enjoy. Games like uncharted and Ratchet and Clank, Starcraft2 and few other select titles that I really have to have day 1 or within a couple of weeks after launch. If I saw this game on clearance at Target for about $20 or less and I have the extra cash lying around I would buy it without thinking, but as it stands I just can't go around paying $60 for a game I just like, I have to know that at the end, I won't be missing my $60.

[DiRtY]

YEAH somehow Killzone is the reason... you can name it excuse if you like.

Did you forget that Killzone did not sell well either?

[Thoreau]

kz3 sitting 1.5 million sold, one console, check your numbers 360 only owner.

[DiRtY]

That is half the numbers of Kinect Sports and Dance Central.
Or 12% of Call of Duty.

[Mister_G]

I bought Zone of the Enders just to get the Metal Gear Solid 2 demo :)

[dc1]

But then it turned out that ZOE was a great game!
(I'm ready for the 3rd game... Darn, at this point I will take the HD remakes)

[shammgod]

Haze would have been a blockbuster on the xbox

[RyuCloudStrife]

xbox gamers can keep cleefy b

[Ness-Psi]

a lot of people i know who have PS3 play most of the multi-plats on PC (me included) that could be a factor into it not selling well, not that I know everybody who owns a PS3 lol.

I really enjoyed the game.

[ApexHell]

the game sucked

[nyobzoo]

yea no surprise, the 360 has a Gears beta and Killzone 3 came out the same day

[Someonerandom]

Another flamebait article, move along people, nothing to see here.

[Holeran]

I bought it for the PS3, good game but nothing special. It's just a brash shooter with alot of vulgar language that for the most part is somewhat funny. I finished it and never had the drive to go back to it again as it is just overly basic to me.

[Lykon]

just not the type of game i'm interested in. just seems a bit too larey americany xboxy for me tbh

[Clarence]

Bulletstorm was crap. Over the top garbage. Little cliff thought the game was going to impress PS3 gamers. He really thought we would pick this game over KZ3.

[Grannyvukka]

I think PS3 owners might have snubbed it for the fact that the game seemed custom made for online versus multiplayer....but not long before release we were informed that vs online was not happening & some other cheap ass online crap was offered.
I mean, out of Gears & this game, Bulletstorm is the one easily more suited & a better fit for online versus, as it is far better from a gameplay standpoint with it's fast paced, twitchy, run'n'gun gameplay & tight controls. Whereas, Gears (not knocking it's greatness) feels more sloppy & loose in it's controllability, & it's overall gameplay is more suited to the slower paced nature of online team against computer AI based play tactics.

[_Q_]

Surprise surprise another generalist headline and a thin overstated argument to back it.

There was this big game that came out at the same time(KZ3?) that just appeared to be of higher quality. I'm very interested in Bulletstorm and originally planned to purchase it but the demo was shit. The game never loaded it got stuck in loading 3 times! That and knowing that the U3E doesnt run as well on the PS3 in most cases and finally the slew of quality games at our finger tips. Bulletstorm is easy to overlook. No offense but given my experiences on XBL,Bulletstorm appears to just suit the fans a little more.

[neilmar420]

its cause they got the gears three beta. bulletstorms is good but not 59.99 good. when its 20 or 30 dollars, ill pick it up

[Miiikeyyy]

Cus PS3 gamers actually have better games to play. Not like Xbox fanboys who only have halo and gears

[AngelicIceDiamond]

@MYK1992 Since you claim its all about the games and exclusivity and PlayStation has all of the AAA games. How come PlayStation isn't the no. 2 selling console?

[Miiikeyyy]

It is all about the games, Thats exactly why you buy a console. Im sorry but i sold my xbox years ago because there was nothing interested going for it, halo, gears and left 4 dead are the main games. Atleast ps3 has alot more variety. and it may not be number 2 but it will be soon, ps3's are selling better not, only like 5 million behind xbox (even though xbox had 1 year headstart)

[AngelicIceDiamond]

You thrive on innovation and not subjected from sequeled franchises. You move from one game to another and don't like to dwell on a game to long, always open to a new franchise/ Ip. I see what you mean Though I sometimes think about sellin my Xbox /:

[Miiikeyyy]

I just get bored of games far too easily unfortunately :/ and that's why I got rid of my xbox, cus they never brought anything out that interested me and I could always buy multiplat's on ps3. Just ps3 has been releasing loads on new games lately.

[Enigma_2099]

Anyone ever hear of this little game called Total Overdose: A Gunslinger's Tale in Mexico?

Crap car physics, poor GTA style open world, but I actually found the gunplay and trick shooting more fun than I should have... and more interesting than what I saw in Bulletstorm.

[sdplisken]

game looks like a rental after all the other games are taken

[JMyers]

Two words... Killzone Three

[user1337]

Not a case of not taken in......more a case of had other games to play.

[divideby0]

BulletStorm was a short rental for me, following playing the demo AND I had so many games for the PS3 to buy instead, so I didnt buy it for the PS3, just rented it for the 360

[jagstatboy]

the game is stupid that's why we didn't buy it.

[RAmar101]

Bulletstorm is actually not bad, it just came out when other ps3 games were released on top of that 360 version came with gears 3 beta.

I'm hopeful for a sequel, lame duck article btw

[dafada]

im a ps3 gamer but i also have a 360 and i didnt even get the game for my 360........the game didnt even interest me what so ever. The commercials looked stupid. i got killzone instead and i was still playing gt5 trying to finish up all the races....btw remember when ff13 came out and sold an ass load more on ps3. same with tales of verperia the game sold like nothing on 360 north america. when the game came out on ps3 asia i think it outsold vesperias lifetime sales on the 360 in like a week.

what i'm saying is that
ps3 gamers have a huge variety of games nowadays while 360 is still mainly a shooter system. the rpgs i got my 360 for(because they were not available on ps3) are all done now so my 360 sits there while i play my ps3.......

[bangoskank]

Did everyone forget that maybe Bulletstorm sold more on the xbox because it gave people early access to the Gears 3 beta. I thought the commercials looked stupid too but I bought the game for the beta and actually ended up enjoying it.

Sony also has a loyal fanbase; this site makes that obvious. They aren't going to forget their beloved Killzone for an IP produced by the same guy who is responsible for one of Microsoft's biggest exclusives.

[dafada]

of course that too lol....i know some of my friends on 360 got it just for the beta....i dont even think they played the actual bullet storm game...and i only think like 2 of my friends on ps3 got it everyone else was playing killzone

[Berzf]

here's the reason:
1. It's a game made by GeOW-dev(s) and it's targeted pretty much for GeOW-players, ps3 players haven't played GeOW (and those who have often don't like it, including me.. I own a xbox). Also xbox-gamers are more interested in Cliff Belinzki than ps3-players, this game wasn't hyped enough..
2. According to Cliff himself, they wanted to compete with Killzone 3, well jobs well done, you F'd up real bad. Ps3-players didn't give a crap about bulletstorm because of killzone 3.

I didn't find Bulletstorm personal or interesting, ''kill with style''... Yeah right..

[R_aVe_N]

It is pretty easy to snub a game that is horrible... The game got old really fast. I don't even think it was worth the money I paid to rent it. It doesn't help your cause much when you release at the same time as a PS3 exclusive.

[ndl1531]

as a sony fan to the fullest i was dissapointed with killzone 3 it was a total letdown for me . the graphics were beutiful but everything just felt bad and GOD i cant stand that rico guy why didn't they just kill him off? the game that was better for me and suprised me was crysis 2 dam that game is good and it has its own beutiful quality too its just awesome . as for bulletstorm cant really say it does look generic and boring but i've learned never to judge a book by its cover it might end up being great but like i said haven't tried it.

[lordolunch]

It didn't come with a beta for Gears of War 3 on PS3......<_<

[iNMyFiN4LH0uR]

its a good game, but way more original and diverse games on the ps3 that stop us from buying shooters

[Firstkn1ghT]

Ps3 owners snub every multi platform game. They only worship their God in Sony.

Bulletstorm is full of originality which is why 360 owners picked it up. Originality and fun is what Bulletstorm brings. Ps3 owners probably went with the same ole cliche shooter in kz3. Just a bunch of zombies that don't know any better.

[Jason143]

Xbox has no games so when it came out they kind of had the choice to play nothing or buy bulletstorm. Not bashing just stating the truth. M$ is screwing early 360 owners with their horrid line up of family titles

[slavish3]

bulletstorm 2 xbox 360 exclusive

[puertorock_papi]

Well it came out the same day as KZ3. Ofcourse it's going to get snubbed. To be honest the game should of got snubbed by everyone. It's trash.

[mcstorm]

There are a few reasons why the game did not sell as high as it should of. First of all fps games dont sell that well on ps3 compaired to 360 apart from cod. Other problem was this was a new ip and this gen has been quite bad for new ip games all people want is cod thats it.
Also lack of mp will not of helped. I dont think kz3 affected the sales as it is not that big of an ip in fps games because ps3 gamers are not big fps fans compaired to 360.

I do hope we see a bs2 though i really enjoyed the game and was nice to play a fps game that was not a mw game and was not to be serious just fun.

[kevnb]

it is a bad game, dont care what the metacritic score is.
