Wow at Gears 3 it actually had more pre orders than Killzone 3 considering it's almost a year  away that is pretty impressive. Killzone 3 doesn't seems to be doing too well seems like my prediction might come true it probably wont outsell Killzone 2 unless they heavily bundle it.

Also surprised how low the pre orders for Bulletstorm are at least for the Xbox 360 version I would have thought that the Gears 3 beta would have helped it but it doesn't seem to be doing too much for it. Good to see Mortal Kombat finally on the list and little big planet seems like it will debut pretty big.

This is PS3's weakest market. I wouldn't worry about it though. This game will sell at least 1.5 million in America alone. EMEAA will likely be 1.5 - 2 million.

 

These are LTD numbers from me.

Oh and Japan? Maybe....MAYBE 250k.

you do know that americas is killzones best land right. so emeaa shouldnt be better than americas. and killzone 2 did 80k in japan so you expect it to more than triple there.

guys stop being in denial. its obvious that KZ3's preorders are dreadful. it looks like it wont even hit 150k preorders wich would be around 200-250k first week in americas. and usally sequals are frontloaded(KZ2 was first one on ps3) so expecting the game to do more than 3.5 million is illogical.

I wouldn't say that. In the same time period ( 7 weeks to go ) UC2 had 35,000 - 45,000 pre - orders. It ended up with 300,000 pre - orders and opened up with 450,000.  If it was 2 - 3 weeks away, then it would be time to start worrying. But 7 weeks is plently of time to gain pre - orders !

I don't think that it will break 150K pre orders before it's released, if it does it will be by a margin of about ~10k. The sales will be comparably lacksture but the EMEAA region will make up for the lack of enthusiasm in the Americas and push this game above the KZ2 sales for sure. I think it'll settle at around 3.5-3.7 lifetime, you got to remember, 2011 is crampled the exclusives on PS3 and KZ3 is likely to fly under the radar with mot or most will just wait for it to drop in price. I don't think the opening week will be anything special, somewhere in the region of ~800k-1m, still good but not absolutely PMG BBQ numbers.

I disagree with the pre - order total. KZ3 should pass 150,000 pre - orders. I think we'll see weekly pre - orders in the range of 70 - 80k two - three weeks before the game is released.  I don't think Killzone 3 will lose any sales at launch by any other games. Other then LBP2, what other PS3 exclusives can eat Killzone 3's sales / legs in Q1 / Q2 ?
