Did I say that KZ2 was a failure? We were arguing budgets. Again, I only used the Failzone 2 chide as a point that everyone wants to argue and speculate about a franchises success on first week sales.
And what if Killzone 2 has horrible legs and sells 2m units. Is that a failure then? Do we know that will be the case? No. Do we know that KZ2 will sell 3-4m units? No. We won't be able to make a good guess as to how that'll all go until week 3. If KZ2 is selling over 140k in both territories, then we can reasonably assume it'll do well. If not, it may struggle. But all we can do is make assumptions. Either way, you can't call anything. I'd love to call a 750k start for KZ2 as being lukewarm given the hype, but it could blow up in my face if the hype yields sustained legs. Thats why we can't jump to conclusions. The only thing we do know is that the budget for KZ2 is a little bit beyond the typical game.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
