wow...killzone 2 sold that much? i was thinking that the sales for kz3 seemed like a lot , but apparently not.

i tried the beta thingy... controls seemed better than the second one but still didnt feel right to me... the fact that i had not played the ps3 in a while certainly didnt help though (getting used to the controller again)

I have mixed feelings about the sales. I overestimated this game by a huge margin and it didn't even have a better opening then Killzone 2. ( I expect better legs ) The sales aren't terrible but they aren't great either.
Although, 50,000 PS3's sold ? I didn't expect those Killzone 3 bundles to do much tbh.

I thought the game was being bundled for free in some places in the US? Buy a 160gb PS3 KZ3 for $299, the same price as the 160gb PS3 by itself.

It is disappointing to see this game sell less then its predecessor due to the fact it's a much better game imo. I just really hope the leak of the game isn't what cause the sales to dip :(

Here's hoping for strong legs in the future.

Its also worth considering that there was *almost* NOTHING to buy on the PS3 when Killzone2 launched.

Well you seem to be pretty confident that it will reach those sales, whereas I am a bit confident that it won't reach sales that high.

Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

Wat?

His kind of right. The only competition it really had was F.E.A.R. 2 and maybe Resident Evil 5, but that release was couple of weeks later. Every game up until the release of Infamous was kind of niche, mediocre or at best, Sacred 2 level of quality.

On the other hand, Killzone 3 has Bulletstorm, MVC3 and a slew of big releases from the month before (Dead Space 2 and LBP2). It also doesn't help that Dragon Age 2, Yakuza 4, Homefront and Crysis 2 release in about a week or two.

Killzone 2 came out at the right time, but I doubt much would of helped Killzone 3, it will most likely start with a smaller opening and then get picked up throughout the year and get bundled and then I'm sure it could leg it past Killzone 2 numbers eventually.

Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.
