KZ2 couldn't be done on the 360.  Not to the same degree atleast.  Seeing as how it heavily relies on the Cell.

Yeah, people are not dense enough to understand that sold to consumers doesn't matter, except to fanboys. Sold to retail is what matters. Sony makes their money off of sold to retail, so even if it does 3 million on PS3 to consumers, according to VGC, it could have shipped 4 million. Just like how SC4 shipped 2 million and sold 500k first week. Scamco didn't care since they already saw 120 million in revenue off of it, no matter what it sold.

Sold to customer does matter when it comes to expansion of a franchise and it's userbase. In this case KZ2 is most likely going to surpass it's predecessor so they already expanded and the extra shipped are like a bonus.

In Star Ocean's case they most likely will ship enough to make a profit, possibly, but in terms of expanding the franchise's userbase they are most likely going to end up cutting it anywhere from 25-50%. So in that case shipped doesn't mean squat when it comes to sales for future installments.

What is with everyone jumping on starcraft's comment?

"if u ask me I don't know how much money it will make"

Thanks for sharing. Next time dont waste screen space with such a useless comment. There seems to be a virtue surrounding KZ2 sales where the less someone knows the more credible they can claim to be. Armchair quarterbacking is fine on vgchartz guys, its not like starcraft's prediction is being paid for or given any type of analytical weight. Acting like you are superior to him though by claiming ignorance is insulting and, again, a waste of everyones time. Leave the discussion if you are clueless and you have so little motivation that you refuse to make even an educated guess.

Man, you just never quit shitting on Sony, do you? Even when you disagree that it doesn't take 2.5M to make some money, you still say it's "evident" (somehow) that it won't make money. Does that mean 2.5M isn't enough? If you mean it's a little too high for the breaking even point, that obviously means the total sales needed is lower, and KZ2 is at a million (not even factoring in Japan yet because it hasn't released there yet), only at week 2 sales. How is it "evident" that it won't make money?

Slap yourself

KZ2 baby!

I would rather him say "I actually don't know" than say "It will not bring in profit. This is fact because I said so".

See the difference there? Ignorance can be fixed with facts. However facts can't be fixed with ignorance (Starcraft doesn't know what the game needs to sell either, but he blindly claims "it's evident it won't make money")

You too can slap yourself.

T3H POWA!!

congrats
