PS3theevolution claiming Vgchartz is undertracking Killzone sales. Somebody should contact them for an apology after NPD drops.

What are the worldwide sales figures for Sony’s killer app? Currently VGChartz has the overall number at 1.04 million but there are still some who believe this to be too low. No offense to VGChartz. Weren’t there over one million pre-orders in the UK alone? Well, that is what was said and right now gamers want answers. Is VGChartz being overlooked, it appears so by many KILLZONE 2 enthusiasts.
Why is it that we as gamers hope for such trivial results when in reality we profit nothing? The game has been purchased by reportedly 1.04 million gamers and it seems they are currently enjoying it a great deal, shouldn’t that be enough? Well, NO! KILLZONE 2 supporters want their beloved KILLZONE 2 to sell like crazy. The intelligent gamer would respond stating that high sales are desired so that guarantees of a more over the top and ambitious sequels to the franchise could be in the works.
Soon NPD will be reporting the results and if their results mirror VGChartz then VGChartz might be owed an apology. However, the likelihood of that happening is slim. Let’s face it, it is still early and if 1.04 million is the right number, great. KILLZONE 2 released February 27th. The game has only been out 2 weeks. In the gaming world that is an admiral accomplishment even if the game boasts the most aggressive and intense action with incredible eye-popping visuals.
Are the current numbers accurate? Well ThEvolution is hoping for the best.
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
