Damn it Sony, Killzone Mercenary is too good to have sold that little. Also Wii U nearly went under 20k... hopefully Zelda will keep that from happening.

Why only blame Sony? Why not Vita owners as well, Sony provided a quality title. Noone bought it. Aren't there enough core gamer Vita owners to buy the game, even if it doesn't have an extensive marketing campaign?



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

If they do make more Puppeteer games then they should be smaller PSN titles. Seems to make more sense financially for this sort of thing. Combined with Rayman Legends' weak launch it looks like 2D platformers just aren't selling anymore. Except for Mario I guess.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

While I beleive Vita owners are also to blame  since most cry for more AAA titles and when one comes out they don't even buy it, I think Sony could have at least had some sort of marketing for what should have been there biggest game this year in the west.

Exactly what I was thinking.

And I agree with the second part, of course they could and should have tried more to promote it, they also got unlucky to launch around GTA V, but well bad luck. Still the sales are very underwhelming, way lower than I would have expected even without marketing campaign.

By AAA titles they means a real call of duty and gta.

We should compare Killzone Mercenary with Killzone: Liberation to know if the game is doing good or bad



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

First time I remember Vita going under 30k on the tracking here. Wii-U teetering on the edge of 20k, too. Will next week's numbers be the price cut, or is it the week after?

Lol at 3DS leaving everything else in its wake, though.

And that's absolutely abysmal for Killzone. Like really, I was expecting at least 3x that.



Puppeteer... :(

I worry might see 2D plat formers (outside of Mario) only be viable as $15-20 download versions.



Killzone is kinda sad. But when comparing it to the PSP KZ its similarish, it just needs incredible legs.
Also, ALL HAIL KING MICKEY.Should be over 500k once EU comes in =D



Damn I thought this was GTA week D:
