Why everyone thinks Killzone 2 will be huge?

It will do good but I don't expect it to be huge, probably about 3.5-4 million LTD, but you never know by February (I do believe this is when it's releasing) the PS3's userbase should be much bigger because of the holidays so it could have a fairly good opening week.

 

Hmm. That'd be more than MGS4 and almost as much as COD4/passing COD4. I'm not sure it'll be that big since MGS and CoD are pretty hot IPs and much more hyped than KZ2. I'd say 3 million. 3.5 mil might not be so far off but not sure, but that's as long as Sony markets it as one of the best, if not the best, shooters on the PS3. No way it'll hit 4 million.

Well that's why it's maximum 4 million because it doesn't look like it's going to sell better then MGS4 or Cod4. But already MGS4 is at 3.5 million so by the end of this generation MGS4 should be close to 5 million easily, and CoD4 is at 3.6 million now and should be able to make 4 million. So Killzone 2 is not going to surpass either one of them two games, in my opinion.

Eventually Sony's gonna learn that they've got to market these big games more, so maybe they'll do a good job with marketing Killzone 2, I know they've started working on marketing certain games more now.
