Did you not read this?

"Killzone 2 has been the fastest SCEA PS3 title to break the 500,000 unit mark and it's also the highest selling SCEA PS3 title for the first 30 days out of launch," detailed Steinberg. "So far, we are extremely happy with the results."

So now "Extremely happy with the results" means disappointing?

The games prequel only sold 2M lifetime for crying out loud, not to mention on a console with around 100M install base. It is only disappointing to those who held to it to ridiculous 2M+ first week sales only so they can claim it to be disappointing now.

 

 

which was few and far between because me and zexen went through the kz2 projection thread and their were more < 400k than over 750k. the average was actually 690k first week even with those over estimates.

I know that, but it is much more fun to cherry pick the few "OMG 1.5-2M first week!" predictions and use them as a generalization for this games expectations, even if those expectations do not match the developers.

We live in an age where anonymous people on an internet forum know more than the developers themselves, even to point where these people can be sure that this game also cost 100M to make.
