Well, the original Killzone sold quite a bit more in Europe than in NA.

I'm not sure if it was because of better promotion by SCEE vs SCEA, the fact that GG are European and Europeans are more likely to support their own (European devs outside of the UK aren't all that common), if GGs being European resulted in them making a shooter more tailored to European tastes, or a combination of these factors, but it makes sense that the sequel would be advertised more heavily there as well.

I fully expect Killzone 2 to sell better in Europe than in North America, going the opposite of titles like Resistance 2, Halo 3, Gears of War 1/2, etc.

European reviewers gave the game higher scores than in NA, in my local magazine they gave it +8 and that is why I picked it up.
