Fixed? OT: Is KZ2 going to be an assault? I'm not too concerned about it pushing hardware, I believe that won't be too big of an issue, I think people are more concerned about software. Now, MGS4 had Japan, so I'll discount those sales, but I'd be extremely disappointed, if WW first week the game didn't clear 900k+. This game is going to be great, and with all the hype, I'll be devastated if this game isn't near a million on a bigger userbase than MGS4 launched, and lower projected first week sales. Of course that's IMO. |
A bit optimistic, eh? Even LBP didn't come close to that, and it was hyped much higher than KZ2, and will probably be the one with a higher metacritic in the end. And it released over the holidays.
Unless Sony cooks up some amazing marketing for Killzone 2, it won't break the 900k mark first week like Gears of War did. The game is pratically a new IP, as it doesn't have the fanbase most sequels count on for sales the first week, given the quality of the first game. Unless Sony thinks of something even more brilliant than the "Mad World" campaign, Killzone 2 will be lucky to sell 600k the first week.
