"It was exactly the same tactics of creating a very expensive movie," said Moore. "But when the game came out, it was completely BS. I knew it that night when I watched it. I thought there's no way they're delivering this experience. They were doing the same thing to us as they did with Sega, which is go: 'Alright, cute little Xbox 360 coming out, but the big boys will be out with the PlayStation 3, so you should hang around and wait for that. Because look what we can do.'"
According to Moore, game journalists also recognized Sony's strategy and quickly came to the conclusion that the PS3 wasn't powerful enough to produce that level of detail in real-time.
Moore went on to describe Microsoft's strategic rollout of Xbox 360, and added that landing the console-exclusive rights for Call of Duty 2 went a long way towards the company's success.
In the present, Call of Duty remains the most-successful FPS franchise, which is now owned by Microsoft after the Activision Blizzard sale. As for Killzone, the most recent game in the franchise was 2013's Killzone Shadow Fall. There was also a Killzone 2 DLC for Helldivers 2 that was released in late 2024.
