im worried about kz3. it does have 7 weeks left but damn it has less pre orders then moh. but then again its not a mainstream military shooter and it will probably do 1.5 times its pre orders if not more.

honestly I'm starting to think KZ3 might not outsell KZ2 which is a huge bummer since I though KZ2 was great.  I'm hoping pre-orders jump up so there will be plenty of support from the developers for the online.

I think the control scheme from K2 turned alot of people off unfortunatley.

This isn't a KZ3 vs Gears 3 thread or a Forza vs GT5 thread.

It doesn't change the fact that KZ3's pre-orders at this point are pretty poor.  Especially considering this is for America the country that buys the most FPS's.  I'm beyond stoked for the game but that doesn't change the fact it doesn't look very impressive sales wise so far.

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.

KZ3 pre orders are not poor. Not many people believed that it would have a much higher opening than KZ2. (I for one that it would be similar). Games typically don't have high FW's unless it's predecessor was a really high seller (which KZ2 was not).

KZ3 can still sell really great though in the long run with extremely positive word of mouth and reception. Look at Red Dead Redemption which had a FW of around 800k (PS3) and looks to sell around 5 million (PS3)  

And KZ2's sales were pretty equal across America and EMEAA.

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.
