    There's been some solid TV ads behind KZ3, I wonder how many moves have been sold because of it.

    Its not that surprising seeing as killzone is a massive game and is a sequel so people already know its good. 
    Bulletstorm hasnt been advertised as much, and its a new title, so people dont know what its about, also it doesnt appeal to as many people as killzone does. 
     
    But yeah:

    Is it any surprise that a game from a established franchise with a decent ad campaign outsold a new IP with a shitty one?

    The UK also loves their PS3s. Bulletstorm was was sold mainly as an Xbox title.

    1.) Killzone is a well-established franchise.
    2.) Europe isn't exactly the target market for Bulletstorm.
    3.) Killzone 3 wants a cookie?

    " Just in case you guys haven't seen this, Killzone 3 sold better than Bulletstorm in the UK, pretty awesome considering Bulletstorm is multi-platform!

    still does not change the fact that Bulletstorm is immensely more fun. Also the UK are known to be PS3 whores. Also Bulletstorm was mostly marketed towards 360, what with the Epic Edition having an access code for the Gears 3 Beta.

    Well killzone it´s a better game so justice is being done.. I played lots of both last week and the whole kill with skill thing in bulletstorm runs dry pretty quick plus the multiplayer is lackluster at best

    I asked a co-worker about Killzone, he was well aware and had downloaded the demo. When Bulletstorm came up he had to IGN it on the work computers.....

    It's obvious that Killzone is an established franchse. I guess people like serious shooters over the occasional crazy ones. :/

    There is crazy and then there is trying too hard, Bulletstorm (IN MY OPINION) looked like it was trying really hard.

    man, Killzone is like the surly kid in the back of a classroom who is rather intelligent but just isn't motivated to try. There's so much potential, but it's squandered. It's like Killzone is fine with just being "good enough".
