Everybody that has ever rented the game, borrowed the game from a friend, or bought the game used and went online would be counted among those 2 million. OT: As disappointing as the current numbers are, they don't seem very suspect. Do you have any reason to believe the game is undertracked aside from the word of a local retailer? I could maybe see the game's Other Europe numbers being kinda low because from what I understand the original Killzone was like the best selling game ever in Poland when it was released or something, so it might be lowballed in territories where SCEE has a strong marketing presence but we have a low tracking presence, but that's about it. To be honest, I was surprised how close our NA and EU numbers for Killzone 2 ended up being. Reports are the original Killzone sold under a million in NA (750k by our numbers) and over 2 million worldwide, which means sales heavily favored Europe (which makes sense given how much SCEE pushes the franchise vs SCEA - plus a game made by Europeans would likely be more appealing to Europeans), and I figured sales for the sequel would favor Europe all the more, given how the ps3's install base favors Europe far more than the ps2's install base did back in 2004. |
yup Killzone 2 was actually adjusted down, and seeing as vg not only adjusted killzone but ps3 sales and uncharted 2, and others and well all theos supposed overtracks were complete bullshit, i think vg is HEAVILY undertraking killzone 2 sales, there is no way in hell killzone 2 sold absolutly nothing for what 5-6 months it sold 2 million in sept...
