To think that Heavy Rain sold almost exactly the same amount FW as the game with a name Killzone 3. :P

You can thank the PS3 demographic for that.

What's also interesting to note, Killzone 2 didn't push as much hardware as KZ3 did. Just one of the facts that lead me to believe that it may have the better legs in the long run.

Thats not quite true. The week Killzone 2 launched it boosted hardware by 32%. The week Killzone 3 launched it boosted hardware by 17%. Yes Killzone 2 was released prior to the Slim PS3, in a time when PS3 sales were much less, but still.

It really depends how you look at it, but I think a game that launched earlier into a consoles lifetime, when there is less competition among games, and boosted more sales will likely have stronger legs.

Still 1.5-2.5 million is very likely for KZ3. About the same range as HR.

I was actually talking about the US, while it moved basically the same amount in EMEAA as KZ2. Overall, KZ3 moved more hardware. There's no other way of looking at it.

In Americas, KZ3 boosted PS3 sales by 24% compared to the prior week (or 23k), while KZ2 boosted console sales by 21% compared to the prior week (or 15.7k). So your right.

I thought you were refering to worldwide console boost because KZ3 did not boost sales as much as KZ2 did worldwide.

In EMEAA KZ3 boosted PS3 sales by 16% (or 13.3k) and KZ2 boosted PS3 sales by 21% (or 11.5k). So it's close, but in terms of an actual boost in consoles (which is more accuratly represented by %, not raw units) EMEAA KZ2 had a stronger boost.

So chances are KZ3 will have similar legs to KZ2. Stronger Americas boost, slightly weaker EMEAA boost, and worldwide boost is weaker too, but the legs shouldn't be too different.
