Lets make a quick comparison here:

Killzone 2: Very high profile game that took years and mega $$ to make.

Left 4 Dead: Pick up and play game that was made for way, way, less $$$.

I am still banking on Left 4 Dead to do more lifetime sales that KZ2 as I believe that L4D will have the better legs.

Both great games just on different consoles.

You can't really compare it to L4D though as the bulk of L4D sales will most likely be the PC version and not the 360 version. For example, I was originally going to get the 360 version, but then opted for the PC version instead.

@euphoria..

many, including you, predicted a gears (1) type performance. Aint gonna happen.

 

I predicted 3.5-4M possible lifetime sales and 750-800k first week.

Gears 1 sold 900k first week, 450k second week. 1.37M first 2 weeks.

Killzone 2 sold 750k first week, 350k second week. 1.02M first 2 weeks.

Guess what else? Gears 1 was the first BIG 360 title, plus release during the holiday season, which you continually choose to ignore.

Killzone 2 sales are doing very well whether you want to admit it or not. It definitely has a chance at over 3M. LBP started off like 300k first week and people called it a flop, now it stands to reach 3M+. Please explain why my prediction of 3.5-4M isn't possible, that is 2-2.5M below Gears 1 lifetime sales.

Good job calling me out about my prediction and being wrong though.

First we get a bogus graph(s), then we get a bogus claim. You're 2 for 2.

 

 

Wasn't KZ2 intentionally delayed by Sony, so as not to compete with Resistence 2?(by releasing in the same time frame) I thought I remembered seeing something like that when the delay to 2009 was originally announced. If so then you can blame Sony for KZ2 not having the holiday season to sell more.
