See this is what I dont understand/hate! Killzone 2 is at the least on par with games such as GoW2 and Halo 3(or maybe as majority have said that have played it, EONs ahead of them!WTFOMGBBQ!?!?!) yet for some undenounced reason it cannot be as successful as them(5-10million). This is John Landis's claim, and what seems to be yours. People like to keep pointing out the fact that the FPS genre is saturated with so many shooters. SO WHAT!? That doesnt stop CoD5, GoW2, and Halo3 from being some of the best sellers of all time. The only visible difference seems to be that it's a PS3 exclusive. THAT bothers me... |
5-10M is a big ask for any game. GTA IV is barely over that mark on the PS3, so its unlikely that KZ2 will sell as much. Its also the only PS3 game over that mark.
See the expectations, are they realistic? Its better to under-promise and be surprised at how good it is. Its called expectation management. The Killzone 2 hype is setting a lot of people up to look like dorks even if its an excellent game. Why throw this game up against some on the Xbox 360 when that system just sells shooters? Its like deliberately setting yourself up for failure.
Topping Call of Duty 4 at 4M sales would be massive, you should apreciate that fact.
Tease.
