I’m not using my experience there as arguement, but I did find it interesting though what people did buy. FPS fans are waiting for KZ2 and even if they did play the first one and agreed it was just “meh”, they still are quite interested in KZ2. Alot of middle age to older women (35+) women love Tomb Raider and either bought a 360 or PS3 for the “new” one.
What else did I observe?
-SF4 is gaining momentum but generally the crowd that played the previous game.
-People who generally that have a Wii (especially older males) tend to be regretting there purchase and should’ve gotten a PS3 or 360.
-360′s and PS2′s are generally traded in for a PS3.
-50 Cents Bulletproof is still a craptacular game that still gets bought and most people that fit 50s demographic are excited about his new game (now there is a game to be skeptical about, more than KZ2).
-Cheap games sell very well (duh, but i’m talking about $1-5 games that most of them are garbage).
-Capcom Vs Marvel 2 for PS2= 79.99 used!!!
-Chicks dig Shin Megami Tensei games
I didn’t really pick up a job at gamestop to have a leg to stand on so much, but to see what people like to play and hear how they see games in a broader POV.

General consensus is that killzone2 is going to suck. There’s not much you can do about it, it’s the fact of the 7th generation. Buying it on day 1 is giving it too much slack to begin with. Be critical and sit it out for a couple of days until the reviews start to hit (not the ign sony sponsored ones)

Okay, when I say that no one is interested in it I mean that in general. Of course with any game out there there is going to be some interest in it regardless of how bad it or its predecessor sucked. I’m sure if they made a Daikatana 2 there would be a few people waiting on pins and needles for it.

But as a whole most other people will say, “Hey the original sucked!” And forget about the sequel a few weeks after its released.

I tend to disagree with that noone is interested in KZ2. With my time temping for a major videogame store, I can tell you that people are very much interested in it and yes the regular 360 owners that we get in have more than once said, “I would get a PS3 for it if it didn’t cost so damn much”.
Just because you are not a least bit interested in it, doesn’t mean that noone else is either.
BTW I’m buying it as well on day one, but I’m going into it with a very critical eye (I’m not going to cut it any slack).
