its PS3 slims fault

it was substantially below before its luanch

it = Killzone 2

PS3 slim = PS3

Keep in mind that was the middle of summer 2008 for Uncharted before a Platinum/Greatest hits edition had come out.  Killzone has had the Slim, a Platinum release, and the start of the holiday sales for it.

Hey Napoleon, how can you write FRANCE without caps-lock

I guess you forgot when Uncharted was released, And PS3 had few good games on it, plus a price drop.

Sorry Double post.

Used games sales account for lower sales in France.


When a newer game is in high demand, less people who own it are selling it and more people are willing to buy a new copy of the game. Uncharted 1 sold over a longer period of time, allowing people time to finish the game and sell it to a used game retailer.

I know when Uncharted released.  You said that Killzone 2 is having better legs.  That only applies to weeks 28-34.    In that time there has been the Slim, a Platinum release, and the gradual holiday increase.  Weeks 28-34 is in the dead of summer before any budget release for Uncharted.  I'm not sure what your point is.

But, Killzone was released in the Summer, plus it hasnt really gone through the holday boost yet. You know how long it took Uncharted to reach a million?

Killzone released in late February.  It took Uncharted 11 weeks to hit 1 million, it took Killzone 2 weeks.  Uncharted took another 45 weeks to sell the next million, Killzone took 32 weeks.  However it took both of them 25 weeks to go from 1.5 million to 2.  This is somewhat skewed due to holiday sales, but half of Killzone's sales came in the first two weeks whereas half of Uncharted's sales came in the first 21 weeks.  Obviously this will shift for both as time goes on, but it is clear that Killzone was much more front loaded than Uncharted.  Legs aren't defined by absolute sales, GTA IV sold ~1.3 million so far this year, but people would generally say it has had poor legs.

But but KZ2 is teh flop. and it will not reach 2.5 million WW
