I have a really bad feeling about the sales of this game. Apart from the forums theres no hype for it. Same as LBP. LBP was massively hyped on the net, but street level compared to what forums said sales would be it was completely opposite.

I think KZ2 will be lucky to get 2.5 mill lifetime. If bundled hopefully 3 mill.

 

The game releases in 2 months.  Should Sony start with the TV advertisements now?  The hype within the gaming community was huge for this title and Sony was correct in letting it die down a bit.  I suspect Sony will raise awareness when the title gets closer to release.

Regarding LBP, did any other side scrolling 2D platformer sell over 1.5 million copies in 2008?  Does anyone still argue that LBP was a flop?  To put it in perspective, LBP outsold it's nearest competitor by 1 million copies.

MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
