Lol what ? Resistance 2 sold less copies then the original Resistance and Sony is still releasing a new one this year... Motorstorm sold less copies then the original one and Sony is still releasing another game this year. Like I said before Killzone 3 sales might pick up soon we don't know. 

 People tend to forget Sony has a LOT of exclusive titles on the PS3. Not everybody can afford to purchase all of them at 1 particular time. It has 7 weeks left so we will just wait and see what happens. Even if it sells less then Killzone 2, I'm very confident Sony will release a 4th one. Besides Killzone 2 sold more copies then the original game. 

Both Resistance and Motorstorm were one of the few launch titles for the PS3. And Motorstorm was bundled. Not sure about Resistance.

tell me people, when the fuck a ps3 game was frontloaded in pre-orders? Uncharted 2 didn't have more than 300k pre-orders, yet it sold 4M already. THE GAME WILL BE FINE, and i'm coming back to this thread just to have some crow eating for those who said that Kz3 will not outsell Kz2...

right here, right now, i'll say, Killzone 3 will sell at least 3M.

Legs depend on the quality of the game.The ones that are too much frontloaded are just bad games with a big marketing. In most cases.

This is true, if  a game is good, it will sell good over time. 

And I don't think having to many exclusives will be bad for KZ3.

Regarding KZ3 sales I believe it will be able to sell 3 million without too much trouble.  I know this point gets redundant but most Sony exclusives do actually have pretty good legs, and many of them get bundled for at least some amount of time.

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 ?



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

GO deadspace 2! However I went into gamestop to get another Flip D-pad controller and I checked on my pre-orders and they said i didn't pre-order the gun package and I did. I'm pissed off at gamestop because they seem to no be coming through on there promises. Halo reach I was suppost to get some free content, ran out. F you gamestop, you promise the world and then say, Sorry, we have seemed to run out. well wtf is the point of pre-ordering if your always going to go back on your word.  These two times is not the only time either. I also put money down on conker to have it shipped to there store. Never happened. F'ing bitches.

Ive never played it but it sounds like KZ is a control adjusment away from being a true AAA IP and it's only a couple weeks after Christmas.  It's success won't be based on this week's American, pre-orders.  Same for ME2 on PS3 really but that is more about Bioware positioning the series as a multi-plat.  They don't have daddy M$'s bucks anymore but if they handle it well ME3 could end up between Fable and FF nos. WW combined.  I hope.

My beloved stepchild TW2 is looking kinda floppy here in NA.  Especially on PS3.  Stupid Southpeak.  DA2 was obviously going to do a lot better over here but it's also showing quite a gap 360 > PS3.  Do they not like the move away from the traditional rpg set-up or are they more broke?  The total hardware diff. in NA doesn't effect titles like AC:B much.  PS3 peeps don't seem to PO much either.  Idk.  One thing I do know is 2011 is shaping up to be a great year for arpg fans.

and that's exactly why uncharted 2 wasn't frontloaded FW, and still it sold 4M copies already.

Games like Gears Of War are frontloaded because of the advertising and because they're good games, they sell over time.

with Killzone 3 we will see the uncharted effect just like we see it with ANY OTHER Ps3 exclusive out there.

You could change the controls. -_- For some reason i guess it is hard for people to understand that.

warmachine i find it funny that you expect killzone 3 to have almost double the sales of KZ2 first week, but expect gears 3 to increase only 50k. if the charts are anything to go by kz3 will have a worse first week than killzone 2 and gears 3 will get more than a million pre-orders in america.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.
