Do you really think the PS3 is on track to sell near the PS2? Last gen the PS2 had the lead over two consoles that floundered in sales, but this time the PS3 is running in third place. I think the best indicator of PS2vsPS3 sales are coming from current multiplatform titles. Last gen, the PS2 version easily outsold others, but that isn't the case this time. I think this is a strong sign that gamers who helped the PS2 win last time haven't made the switch, or they went to the competitors. Guess we'll see :)
I do agree that a good ad campaign could help, and Sony does usually have fantastic ads for first party games...however, I don't recall seeing any for this type of game. Normally they've been for games like Warhawk, Resistence, etc...will they be able to properly market a quirky non-violent game?
