Killzone 2 Vs Halo 3 - Japanese Sales Figures Week 2 Goes to Killzone 2

Last week I wrote about how Halo 3 managed to outsell Killzone 2 in it's first week sales in Japan. It was a fair achievement seeing as the 360 had sold around 2 Million consoles less at halo 3 release than the PS3 at Killzone 2 release.
I Guessed it could be down to the Halo franchise being much more well known and played than the Killzone franchise, @Doom_CMYK responding via twitter that Microsoft also had a bigger advertising Promotion In Japan than Sony or Guerilla had given Killzone 2.

The second week figures are now in for Killzone 2, and when compared to Halo 3 figures, they show a higher level of support. Halo 3 went from selling 62,415 in it's first week to just 7,133 [1]. Killzone 2 also has a drop in sales but no where as high as Halo 3, going from 42,660 sold in week 1 to 16,069 in week 2. [2]

Halo 3 still sold more than Killzone 2 during it's first two weeks, but it will be interesting to see if Killzone 2 sells more over a longer period of time.

Poll - Which Twitter Feed Do You Want On QTE Blog?

I have found a different way of displaying QTE Gamers twitter feed and I want you, the readers to choose which is better/the one you would prefer?

The new one is flash based and takes longer to load, but it displays more tweets and more options.
The old one is much quicker to load, but has fewer tweets and options.

I'll give people a few days to choose which one they prefer before finally making the decision.

If you have other suggestions, please put them in the comments and i'll look into them and see if they work with blogger.
