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.

Shooters rarely sell 25% of LT sales in the first week. It's generally around 1/6, though it changes proportionately with first week sales, ie CoD4 on PS3's LT sales will be over 10 times its first week, while Halo 3 should finish at around 3 times its first week.

I see it doing well over 4 million, around CoD4 numbers. Excellent shooters have great legs: Gears of War, Call of Duty, Halo, I suppose, because it's still sold 6 million since launch week...
