Quality matters, but it is not the only thing that matters. Having a multi-million install base helps. Having good advertising and a great mutliplayer formula helps. Being the best LAN console game helps. If KZ2 can get all that (except for the install base, obviously) it will still be lucky to get half of Halo 3's sales. Halo 3 is a third iteration of a great franchise. Killzone 2 is the second iteration of an untested, and previously flawed franchise. The sales of KZ2 would have to mostly be made on advertising, hype, and preferably having no story related to Killzone 1 since barely anyone played it. |
Hype is whats gonna kill it,people saying killzone 2 doing 1 million launch day is just crazy and putting stupid expectations on it and saying its gonna turn the console war,i dont care what they promise no franchise unproven is gonna do 1 mill launch day.
And the fact that no one even played Killzone 1 and even the fact that Sony IGNORED it during the PS2 days make me hmmm.
