Yep, I have a feeling that even if it would have launched on the same week as Gears 2, but been a 360 exclusive also, it would have sold more than that.

People on the internet compared and hyped this game, and consistantly said how much better it was than Gears 1.5, ect, ect.

It underperformed in single player campaign and sales figures.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

That's gross speculation.

As a matter of fact, Resistance may have actually sold less because not only would it have been released the same week, it would be on the exact same console as GeOW2, which has become the 360's flagship title.



 

Consoles owned: Saturn, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, PSP, DS, PS3

One thing i should point out are the online leaderboards, they are increasing by the almost the same amount each day over the past week.

The numbers are OK but that's obviously because I cant help compare it to a certain other exclusive which released last week. What I am interested in TBH is the R2 vs Killzone 2 numbers, I am going to go out on a limb here and say KZ 2 will outsell R2 by 2:1. If sales = quality, there would be 10000 KZ2 sales for every R2 sale. ;)



What is more important,
1st week sales or LTD sales?

300k for a GREAT shooter. Not bad, even GOOD.

300 000 people bought Resistance 2 during week of Gears of War 2 release.
2 shooters for one week. Let`s see, what sales will be by the end of the year. =)



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far

That was my point. A common damage control here seems to be that PS3 owners don't buy shooters like 360 owners do. Thus, I figure R2 would have sold more on the 360.

KZ2 and GeoW2 have a lot of things in common. They are both companies biggest games this holiday. They are both very hyped and advertised shooters, both had extensively ran TV commercials and were both exclusive games on directly competing consoles.

Suddenly, it's not fair to compare them in sales?

How is 300k good when its direct competitor just sold 1.5 million units in 2 days?

Also, I think Halo 3 was the 360's flagship title.

Are you saying Resistance 2 sucks?

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I would just like to point out that R2 had 5 days of tracking in the US and Gears 2 only had 2 days worth of tracking, if I understand these dates correctly.

Developer: Insomniac Games
Genre: FPS
Release Dates: 11/04/08
Sony Computer Entertainment
Developer: Epic Games
Genre: Shooter
Release Dates: 11/07/08
Microsoft

So it seems likely that Gears 2 outsold R2 by a much larger margin than it originally appears.

please STOP with the bundled crap

Resistance was HARDLY bundled

Motorstorm was BUNDLED but sold 2.5 MILLION EASILY without bundles....unless you are telling me Motorstorm has MORE THAN 1 Million bundles...

A game which "sells" 2.5 Million does a lot better than Motorstorm 2 in the first week.

 

Well squilliam.....I was a die hard motorstorm 1 fan

the Motorstorm 2 DEMO turned me off n told me this games gonna be crap.....I thik thats the main reason for its downfall....Motorstorm 2 just isn't a great game like the first one!

 

motorstorm 2 is a billion times better than the first. I have both so i know :p
