That could be argued. What remains however is the nature of the titles. Due to mgs4's failed multiplayer component, it's sales are mostly used games now. Just walk into your closest gamespot and count how many used copies of mgs4 they have relative to say cod4. these don't factor into totals.

For kz2 on the other hand, it is mostly multiplayer like cod4 was so that gives it an advantage over even mgs4. To add to that, it's a first party game so sony could bundle to hell without having to pay anyone but themselves.

Hmm... haven't people argued here that games that are bundled shouldn't be counted among games that have sold?  Just curious.

 

 

If they did, the argument sure didn't stick. It's pretty difficult to extract "true" sales from bundles and there are usually multiple bundles out there. This usually means that if someone chose the killzone 2 bundle, they probably wanted the game as well and it was just a way to score a ps3 for less.

There is a notion that goes around suggesting that mgs4's bundles weren't included in it's totals on this site. I'm not sure if thats true but if it is, perhaps the same fate might befall kz2 and you'll still have an accurate picture
