Why did MGS4 have 6 (or if 6 is the norm, why is KZ2 getting 3) And with that info I may have to lower expectations a little... maybe 400-450k     From my personal experience games usually release on Tuesday here in the US, but for some odd reason KZ2 is releasing on Friday. If they stuck the normal schedule everyone has been using forever the game would have been coming out tomorrow.

thats right thats why i made the thread theyve been doing that on some other gamed to not releasing them on tue which really means it will be in most stores wensday

i would really like to hear from a_nut_sack he was the one to predict that 1 mill # and some others that predicted higher values

I don't expect it to have 400K opening week....

While I am not 100% on first week sales (I tend to be very bad at it) I am going with 3.5-4M Lifetime sales. It seems more like a logical number and hopefully I am surprised and it goes beyond that. Actually, I at least hope it reaches that.

By the way, what does LTD actually stand for?

I always thought of it as "Life to Date" and if I am correct then that means you already think it sold 4.5-5M?

It will probably end up between Mgs4 and Cod waw.

@OP

Do your numbers include SW sales of MGS4 included in the bundle??


My guess is if you take out MGS4 software sales from the bundles, Killzone 2 should sell just as much in its first full week (from Friday 27th to next Friday March 6th)

Wouldn't that still mean the same thing as "life to date"?

It still sounds like you are saying that as of today the game has sold 4.5-5M.

"Lifetime to date"

"Life to date"

You tell me the difference here CGI.

I will always prefer saying "I think the game will have lifetime sales of  3.5-4M".

Oh what do you know. I did a quick Google on the word "Noob" and I found this.

Who would have guessed.

OT: How was Metal Gear Solid advertising compared to Killzone 2?

yeah i just pondered it some more im thinking now that its first week will be between 320k-450k or right at 370k

the mgs #s through me off at 1st there kinda of high but then i looked at my pricing thread to see that it had 2 bundles in NA including 1 that came with the 80g backward compatible ps3

had mgs not been bundled i think it would of sold i little more than half of wat it did, that B/C ps3 bundle did the trick

having seen no advertising on tv and it being a hardcore fps and having only 1 or 2 days of sales i think people on here will be shocked at the 1st weeks #s for KZ2

i also think that maybe it's 2nd weeks numbers will be higher than the 1st much like Resistance and Uncharted

I at least expect it to have better legs than the frontloaded MGS4.
