It is highly likly that Killzone 2 is going to sell well under eveyones expectations. I am predicting first week sales of:
USA - 275k
EU - 330k
Japan - 30k
Total - 635k
and by the end of April
USA - 450k
EU - 575K
Japan - 65k
Total - 1.14M
and by the end of 09
USA - 800k
EU - 1.2M
Japan - 100k
Total - 2.1M
I think the game should sell more like this in reality, but Sony will not create hype outside of the message boards.
USA - 2.5M
EU - 3.5M
Japan - 100k
Total - 6.1M
Should my predicted sales become reality I would hope Sony fires every person marketing in the games division across the whole company. Sadly they will not, and the trail of amazing games with crap sales will continue, taking Infamous, Uncharted 2, Ratchet and Clanck Future 2, Heavy Rain, and Gran Turismo 5 down to that magic 2 - 3 million mark.
Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
