Doing better in Japan than what?


First week in japan

Halo 3 62,000
COD4 59,000 (ps3 plus 360 - 32000 ps3)
Killzone2 42,000

 

We'll have to see the legs.  I think KZ2 will edge out Halo 3 in LTD sales.  The number of people that play FPS games in Japan can be compared to the number that play Cel-shaded jRPGs in America - percentages adjusted.

You're being a little more disingenuous than I expect Kowenicki: comparing week 1 KZ2 to a multiplat long running IP (which you were honourable to show that KZ2 beat COD4 on it's own system), and a major IP for those who are Xbox(360) fans with an extremely top heavy sales curve (62K debut 114K LTD). Compare KZ2 to R2 in Japan and KZ2 had a very good debut. Compare it to R1 and it had an excellent debut. And if you go over to the Japan week 18 thread you will see that KZ2's drop off in Japan is no where near Halo 3's week 2 drop.

KZ2 is never going to be a Halo killer world wide or even in others, but it will bloody it's nose in Japan. I'd be surprised if KZ2 wasn't ahead of Halo 3's sales curve by about week 3 or 4.
