lol @ that kid's face while his dad says they don't like shoot 'em ups! He looks like he's longing to play Halo 3 like all the other kids.

Was that supposed to be a story on Halo 3...Kill Zone 2, or more "wii is great" propaganda...

who cares.

They used wii sports for it too.

not news.

I don't see how they could have sourced that video without realising it was wrong. They would have had to go search for that online and how would they find Killzone 2 while searching for Halo 3?

I too was going to mention about the kids look of awe while watching Halo 3 and his dad standing next to him saying "oh we don't like shooting games". The kid was totally immersed and wanted to play. Bet that kid grows up to be a wimp, bullied with a shitty job, all because his parents wouldn't let him play teh Haloz!

it looks to me as if the reporter doesnt like 360's

placeing a ps3 game video
and going on about how wii sports outsells most other games

everyone know's that sells so many for the joystick and cheap game

im not into halo myself but i expect the bbc to be impartial

which this doesnt seem to be

more of a stab in the back

theyr still running it now btw

i just watched it on news 24

Maybe the reporter was dropped as a baby

Wii Sports has sold a total of 0 copies. Considering it is a free game that comes with Wii.

fact or fiction, they'll do anything for a story...

Welcome to the incompetence of the BBC.

It doesn't stop there - imagine arriving at the BBC for an interview and getting hauled up in front of the cameras:

For those outside the UK, it's these Monkeys that we have to pay £135 ($270) a year just so we can have a television in our home.

What I don't understand is how someone could get it so wrong!

I find this strange, When I watched this on the TV they showed Halo 2 footage, very clear Halo 2 footage with the rocket launchers and so on... This killzone stuff was not in the article when I saw it on the same BBC news yesterday (same one with Natasha Kaplinski).

Weird. They must have fixed it o_O for the later news bulletin.

This article is a joke. Why even bother reporting this if they report it in the wrong light. Sky news is far superior to the BBC & for a long time now i have lost all confidence in anything the BBC report & therefore dont believe anything they say. Lies & properganda thats the great BBC news for ya...
