I had said this many weeks ago & now reality is coming knocking up our doors.

Call Of Duty : World At War has managed to cross 1 Million on the Ps3 in a matter of 2 weeks....almost making it within the first week...

it ranks as I believe the 3rd or 4th biggest launch of a Ps3 game ever....right behind MGS4.

A week earlier Resistance 2 is launched and comes out to comparatively mediocre sales.

Now in UK....Resistance 2 in its DEBUT week CHARTED BELOW COD:WAW in its 2nd week.

Also in UK -- Resistance 2 debuted to sales of 2/3 BELOw Resistance 1's week 1....this is P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C as Resistance 1's week 1 was in PS3's launch week!!

NA -- COD : WAW has managed to do in its FIRST WEEK in sales (390K) what Resistance 2 has still failed to do by its 4th week (only at 360K)

EU -- who knows what will happen here....if it follows UK's trend very worrying for Resistance 2.
____________

So why has a sequel to a title which sold 3.6 Million not done well (Resistance wasn't bundled heavily).

Because of COD4 is my answer....COD4 led to COD becoming a mainstream monster & now people think COD = quality (which it actually may as metacritic wise COD:WAW>>R2)

Resistance 1 never had COD4 to compete against.....now COD5 has become the GTA 4 that managed to halt Saints Row 2's relative success.

SONY could've never predicted Call Of Duty will negatively affect R2....well it just has.

Thank God Killzone 2 is miles away from a release of a Call Of Duty

 

ok this is redicious, your bascially saying that codwaw is better than resistance 2 based on sales. resistance 2 just got released in europe, and they having supply shortages, not to mention those sales are only american sales, and we all know ps3 games sell better other places in the world thats not america.

im tired of ppl like you judging a game based only on sales, i own both games, and codwaw sucks ass. its has the most boring campaign i ever played. most of my friends already gave up beating the game, and its not that they suck, the campaign is boring and hard. and they all agree resistance 2 is a much better game
