His father has a drinking problem, he doesn't take retirement very well.

Anyway look at this: http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=Uncharted%3A+Drakes+Fortune+-+PS3&reg2=All&game2=Killzone+2+-+PS3&reg3=All&game3=Call+of+Duty+4%3A+Modern+Warfare+-+PS3&weeks=100&weekly=1

Aside from the Japan boost its legs are doing far worse than Call of Duty 4 and Uncharted 1. Its sales for the last week were only 27k outside of Japan, 10 weeks away it will be less of course.

 

Maybe it's the drinking problem driving PS2 to violence that makes PS3 take it out on poor little games. PS3 earns more than PS2 now, but he'll never be as rich.

Anyway, those two games both released right in the midst of a holiday season, as opposed to in late February. Thus, the first few weeks of data you see are not "legs", they are a holiday season boost. Killzone 2 will get one, as well. Perhaps not one as large, as some interest will be dying, but it will get a boost of some sort.

Killzone 2 is actually pretty much equal with what Uncharted was in Weekly sales right now. Compare LTD after 9 weeks, and Uncharted was a little short of 900k, while KZ2 is at 1.5 million. CoD4 was at 1.93 million, but he's a hard worker, and his parents are very talented indeed. And rich.

So, Uncharted and CoD4 have both been out for about a year and a half. Assuming it stays roughly halfway between them:

http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=Uncharted%3A+Drakes+Fortune+-+PS3&reg2=All&game2=Killzone+2+-+PS3&reg3=All&game3=Call+of+Duty+4%3A+Modern+Warfare+-+PS3&weeks=100

Killzone 2 should be at (roughly) 3.3 million in the same timeframe, perhaps a little less. After two years are up, it could be at 3.5 million, and has a shot at 4 million. Perhaps a few hundred thousand short of those, but I still say in the three years of KZ2's relevant sales remaining, its hitting 3 million is pretty much a certainty.

I think the PS3 is having trouble at college, it can't keep up with the Xbox 360 and Wiis test scores. Even though it technically has the smarter brains and thats why he lashes out.

The difference I was interested in was how Uncharted didn't fall to 27k per week sales until the 19th week, Killzone 2 made it to that level in about 9 weeks. Killzone 2 has had a better start, but so far the legs ARE weaker, He aint no Forest Gump here. We will see in the next couple of weeks how it goes, but this is more fingers crossed rather than calm assurance when you're talking 3M sales.

 



Tease.
