Kill Zone 2 = sales ltd 2 to 3 million.
No way is Kill Zone series is as popular as MGS series and its lifetime sales numbers will fall far short of 4 million+
Only series more popular than MGS series on PS3 are GTA series, FF series and GT series.

 

What about Call of Duty?

Call of Duty 4 currently has higher total sales than MGS4, and is selling more weekly than MGS4.  Call of Duty: World at War is selling even better than Call of Duty 4.

Call of Duty 4 managed to sell extremely well despite the mediocre reception of Call of Duty 3.  Why?  Because it was a DAMN good game.  Excellent reviews and strong word of mouth gave the game legs like no other.

Assuming Killzone 2 lives up to the critical hype, and does become the best shooter out on the ps3 (and based on impressions on neogaf from those with review builds, this looks to be the case), why could it not do this also?  Why could it not have extremely impressive legs, leading to very high total sales, near that (and possibly even topping that) of Call of Duty?
