Don't sigh me, thats rude. Yakuza may have come out in 2009 the week of Killzone 2, but the week of Killzone 3 Japan also got Disgaea 4, and Rune Factory Oceans. So the effects of Yakuza 3 are not as absolute as you make it. Still Yakuza 3 is 3x as big as Rune Factory and Disgaea combined, so I will still omit Japan's data for future analysis.
Also why did you post those boost comparisions? I already stated the exact same figures above, it's still quoted LOL.
In americas, KZ3 only pushed 3% more then KZ2, which isn't a huge deal. In EMEAA KZ2 pushed 5% more units then KZ3, but thats a smaller region.
Ommiting Japan KZ2 boosted PS3 sales by 18% (or 27k), and KZ3 boosted PS3 sales by 18% (or 39k). KZ2 pushed just the same, even after you omit Japan, and only consider Americas and EMEAA. Please verify my math, the % boost is the same. The number of consoles sold ig higher, but BulletStorm likely helped KZ3 a bit there too. So if anything KZ3 boosted consoles less then KZ2. (remember the launch of KZ2, Halo Wars was released, so it also had competition holding it back).
So I still disagree with you about bigger legs, but believe what you like. Regardless the difference between KZ2 and 3 is minimal (<5%). KZ3 should see sales close to KZ2 levels, but still sub 3 million sales.

My bottomline is clear, and factual, KZ3 moved more hardware, overall, than Killzone 2. Much of the rest of your post is irrelavnt, as it veers off the topic. And just so you know, Yakuza has a much larger impact in Japan than either of the two titles you brought up.
Nevertheless, I'm not continuing on with you. I already know it'll never end if I do.

Problem moving more hardware is different from "giving hardware a bigger boost." In terms of fisical numbers, it moved 12k more units in a time where PS3 sales are stronger, hadly much of a difference. It boosted numbers within 1% of KZ2, which is what really matters.
Also I did say Yakuza is bigger and omit the data.
Anyway believe what you like, but don't lead people on KZ3 did not boost hardware more then KZ2. I've tried numerous times to settle on a result (KZ3 like will be about the same as KZ2), but you love to end arguements with a demeaning remark, especially when I prove a point to you.
