The first Killzone sold better in Europe than North America, and they even had a Collector's Edition for the game exclusive to Europe.
It seems there's actually some love for the franchise over there based on the first pair of games. |
Ya there are a ton of Killzone fans waiting for this game. we dont have complete data but I suspect that the first game sold over 2 million copies by now. Killzone Liberation, while on the PSP, did bring in some fans on the PSP side so there are some of those gamers waiting too.
This game will easily sell 2 million. It will never make its money back but it sure as hell will be a great addition to the PS3 line-up.

The first game did sell over 2 million, according to the devs themselves.
And why wouldn't this game make its money back? As best I can tell, the game didn't even cost as much as MGS4 to develop. It'll likely sell at least as much as either Resistance game, possibly outselling MGS4 itself, and should make a rather nice profit.

I shouldn't speculate about the cost of a game, but his definitely cost more than the average game. Its been in development for 3 years already and if they choose to market it(which I am thinking they will) it could easily tack on another 20 mil. I'm still pretty sure it will do good saleswise and turn a decent profit.

Even Gears of War only cost ~$10 million to market. The only game that topped that, if I recall correctly, was Halo 3, topping $40 million in advertising.
It's unlikely that Killzone 2 will recieve anywhere close to half of Halo 3's marketing.
I'd expect Gears level marketing - if we're lucky. Sony doesn't market for crap these days.
