no....yeh don't say

R1 was a launch game.....comparing their launch sales is not very wise & not a great way to justify your prediction quite frankly!

@CGI-Quality

these HUGE exlusives are FF13 (Japan) & GT5

not Killzone 2.....Killzone 1 barely sold much.

Killzone 2 will have to be advertised A LOT to get the new image into peoples minds

Not this week, i think, in europe. Japan, yes. It sold nicely, we'll see if's going to have legs.

np....but I would also like to point out apparently (I have heard from other sites) Killzone 1 sold more in EU than NA.

but yeah if marketed right Killzone 2 will appeal to NA much more.....the key phrase here is Marketing.....SONY must do that for Killzone 2!

I think its sony fans that gave it all the hype, Sony was just letting people know how good the game is, and it is, so its not Sonys fault this game didn't deliver in terms of sales (according to certain people)

As for resistance 2, the game will sell what the game will sell. You can wish/hope all you like for high sales but at the end of the day it wont do a damn thing. Look at LBP ...

With the christmas period around the corner it will do just fine.

Yea there is no point in predicting sales, but im just saying if R1 managed 3.4 million why wouldnt this game sell more if it were to release on a much bigger install base?

@leo-j

why didn't GT 4 outsell GT 3 despite being FAR better

same with FF8

Same with GT 2

Anyone who owns a PS3 needs to have LBP in there library. They need to put out a DEMO on the PSN and I think it will sell a lot more. I bought it due to the BETA. It is an amazing game. R2 is a for sure buy for me in the next couple of days as well. The Beta for this has made me want it more than I had to begin with.

What Insomniac needs to do besides a demo though is put out some better advertising. The commercials need to show more gameplay, and be in HD for cryin out loud.

Its simple, there are more games being released on the PS3 at the moment. The 360 has fewer titles so everyone has been funnelled into gears of war 2. The same happened with Halo 3. People will ask for some of these for Christmas.

Leo-J, how can you consistantly claim that LBP has only 4 days on the market, not a full week, yet count the limited release numbers in your week 1 sales.

I'm fine with which ever one you pick, but pick one.

Either LBP was on sale for at least a full week to pull off 350k in NA, or it was on sale for 4 days, to pull off 204k.

You can focus on what "was" or you can focus on "what could have been" but you can't change them up to suit your argument.

If LBP "woulda" sold 350k week 1 in Americas, fine, but at least say it was on sale for a full week, instead of this "not even a full week" stuff you've been bringing up in every thread.

The game had a good week 1. It didn't move consoles any better than most other big releases, even if it was bundled. However, it might sustain a hardware bump, who knows.
