wasn't the first killzone crappy???? How come people are expecting 5 millions for it????

Oh well.....

K2 should probably fall behind halo... i mean, it's HALO!!!!!!!

Probably not that much...probably a LOT. I don't know. Since i thought that the first KZ had a really bad reputation, i thought the 2nd wouldnt sell that much... but if people are saying its going to pass 3 millions.... there's a reason for that

 

(1)I look at it as the ps3's Gears of War.  It's a shooter (probably the most popular genre out there), with awesome graphics, and all the over the (2)top machoism that teenagers and young adult males eat up. It won't sell as much as Gears of War given the install base disparity between the ps3 and 360 ((3)plus a large portion of the ps3's install base resides in Japan), but it will sell very well.  (4)I expect it to have great legs similar to Call of Duty 4.

It'll probably be Sony's best selling first party title since GT4.  (5)Only MotorStorm may stay above it, and that's only because MotorStorm was Sony's most heavily bundled game since GT3, if not ever.

(1)So we can expect the same percentage sells???? I mean, not the same number, but percentage in comparison with the # of ps3 sales???

(2) xD LOL!!!!

(3)2.79M out of 19.71M don't seem to large for me :s

(4)Really???? Damn i guess is a really BIG one.

(5) Well, this game is supposed to be bundled too, right?

But i mean, if people already played the first one, what would encourage them to buy the 2nd???

 

I guess time will tell

1. No.  Gears of War had in insane attach ratio like 36% at the time of its release.  No game could hope to match that, unless it released in a similar situation to Gears of War (the first "true" next-gen game released on a tiny ~5 million install base).

2. It's true! :P

3. Yeah, but that's still a larger portion of the ps3's fanbase than the 360's fanbase that we know probably won't be into shooters.

4. Call of Duty 4 certainly didn't sell because of the success of Call of Duty 3.  It sold because it was a damn good game, and as a result had great word of mouth long after release.

5. Yeah, but probably not near to the exent of MotorStorm.  MotorStorm was bundled with the 80gb ps3 for months in NA, and at the time the 80b ps3 made up 60% of the ps3's sales in NA.  And that's not including the European bundles.  The only other game that has been bundled in NA since has been MGS4, and only for a couple of months.

And I don't see why the first would really impact the sale of the sequel.  Most hardcore gamers would see that the sequel is obviously a much superior game, and most of your madden/gta guys (last gen casuals, as I like to call them, lol), probably wouldn't have even known the game was bad, and it shouldn't effect their opinion of the sequel.  And if they did, they probably don't remember much from a four year old game.

Plus, you're acting like everybody played the first, lol.
