Gaming site GamingExcellence.com recently caught up with Sony’s PR and Marketing Manager in Canada, Matt Levitan, who among other things commented on when the highly anticipated PS3-exclusive Killzone 2 might hit the streets. He said Killzone 2, which next to games like Final Fantasy XIII and Metal Gear Solid 4 is currently one of the most-anticipated PlayStation 3 titles, will not be seeing retail shelves before the end of next year.

Levitan also said he believes that PS3’s SIXAXIS controller is something that will be a considerable factor in shifting gamers and developers to the PS3. Now that the new DualShock3 controllers will soon have rumble, there might be some truth in that.
