| Godot said: I have trouble believing that Killzone 2 will have legs (Metal Gears Solid 4 didn't) and will outsell Little Big Planet lifetime. Don't you people remember last Christmas? Everybody was claiming that LBP and Resistance 2 would outsell Fable 2. The Xbox gamers are hardcore and buying a lot of games. |
Because we all know that they are exactly the same game. They both have a massive fanbase, are in niche genres, and are from a series that requires a fair bit of past knowledge to understand. Oh, wait. Killzone 2 is an FPS, with pretty much no fanbase to speak of, which requires no past series knowledge to understand.
Fable II is another game with a large fanbase. It had a million first week sales, and shows signs of slowing down, selling on par with LBP, which had 350k first week sales.
And why wouldn't it outsell LBP? This is the "casual" game, remember?
It's kiddy! 2D! Not even a game, just a level toolset! And yet it's sold over 2 million copies, and you don't think a violent, HD FPS with orange-eyed enemies, great competitive online and amazing graphics can outsell it?
*facepalm*
