Feels confident in the game's performance against Halo Wars.
Speaking to GameDaily, Scott Steinberg, VP of Product Marketing at SCEA has bullishly claimed
that Killzone 2 is not only taking gamers from the sidelines to the PS3, but also tempting Xbox
360 gamers to try out the PS3.
"We feel that Killzone 2 is a tremendous exclusive," said Steinberg. "It's an exclamation point that demonstrates the distance between the PS3 and other systems. The game is 40 Gigs and could not be done on anything else. It will move people from the sidelines, and from what we've seen from blogs, will push 360 owners to try out the PS3. I think it's going to be a major launch for us and this historical PlayStation brand."
Regarding the performance of the game, Steinberg says that despite going up against strong competition it has done well.
"There wasn't a clean playing playing field, I'd like to say," noted Steinberg. "We had to compete with Halo Wars and Resident Evil 5. We knew we had to execute and deliver a great game. I think looking at the stats, I feel comfortable on our performance against Halo Wars and we ultimately delivered on our promise."
In the UK both Killzone 2 and Halo Wars were released on February 27, with Killzone 2 going on to claim the No.1 chart position ahead of Microsoft's Halo RTS.
