It looks like 750k is on the mark in regards to KZ2 first week sales. A good start for the game. Europe/Others sells around half the total of FPS games on PS3, America accounts for the other half.
To calculate the total Lifetime sales of Kill Zone 2. I take the first week total and multiply it by 3 or 4 and that would project its lifetime sales gives a total of 2 750k times 3 gives 2.25 million or 750k times by 4 gives 3 million sales.
The X360 ratio of FPS game sales are more lopsided in favour of America dominating Europe/Others by a wide margin.
Japan not sure if the game was even released there. FPS games do not sell in Japan very well and I believe FPS shooters are wasted on the Japanese. Gears of War 2 was not even released in Japan. Gears of War selling only 20k in Japan killed off the idea of launching Gears of War 2 in Japan. Why launch a game that does not even break 100k sales in a region? I see no point.
