Seems to be selling okay for a Killzone game to me.  How else should it be selling?


Like a Halo game.


Exactly my point!

A game in a franchise that deosn't sell like Halo should sell like a Halo game?

*does not compute *

It doesnt. But

-People know that Halo is one of the top selling FPS games.
-But generally don't know how much a specific franchise's game is sold.

Because of this uncertainty/lack of knowledge, the former is used as the standard of comparison.

That changes nothing. Halo isn't a good metric when comparing sales to something that's always sold at least 2 times less than it.

For a Killzone game, Killzone 3's sales are about what the franchise does (give or take 100k or so right now). Halo shouldn't be used as a way to minimize not only Killzone, but nearly any and every FPS franchise on the market. Only Call of Duty sells on comparable (or higher) levels and we know with the amount of FPS titles released just this gen, that makes it an obvious exception.

It's one of the reasons I've avoided posting much in here. The topic was flawed from the very first post (OP).


Okay forget Halo let's compare this game to bad company 2. It's still way behind it (I know there is a possiblity it's overtracked according to NPD). The only reason why I said Halo was becuase I think the only game close to Killzone 3 is Reach. Then people started compairng killzone's sales to Reach and Black ops which was pretty stupid. I just wanted to know why Killzone 3 had low sales despite it being a much better game than Killzone 2. I don't expect Halo sales from Killzone. But at least better than Killzone 2. And I've just learnt that a lot of people who bought KZ2 for the hype didn't like it. And for an AAA game 1.33 milllion in 3 weeks isn't great
