but I didn't predict 5 Million LTD

I think 500K 1st week....then 3.5 Million LTD

@NJ5

you don't think MGS4 was more hyped than killzone 2

WHAT?!

thats like saying Wii Music was more hyped than GTa 4

Not atm no it isnt. But closer to launch. NJ5 is saying Killzone 2 SHOULD have a broader appeal than MGS4 .

@ blazinhead - that's my prediction. I am actually thinking Haze numbers, but still - you asked for predictions, then attack me for my opinion. Nice.

Right so its Ok to attack our opinion "Geesus Juice" ? But oh no, No one can question your opinion >_>

@madskillz

thanks for bookmarking this thread......I have to

I can now claim xbox fans felt killzone 2 will sell Haze numbers.....so whatever KZ2 sells now is >>>> than expectations

LOL

@NJ5 & blazinhead

Killzone 2 won't have broad appeal....its a gritty shooter....not Halo like....but a gritty kind of shooter.

No, for example I don't remember being sick about people talking up MGS4, while I'm definitely sick of hearing about KZ2 :P

@NJ5

there was a thread near MGS4 launch saying people were sick of it

a mod made a thread about no spoilers being posted

random people came on the site n created spoiler threads

people went crazy

NJ5....come on man please remember the havoc of the days before MGS4.....a reason may have been that us UK people had exams then.

OK maybe it's my memory playing tricks on me... But I definitely don't remember seeing so many animated gifs from MGS4, or people bringing it up in all kinds of situations. The thing with KZ2 hype is that it has been very prolonged, while MGS4's was more concentrated I think.

Btw I'm not from the UK ;)

I'm thinking 2.7m by the end of the year.

Maybe 400-500k first week. This just isn't the type of game I see selling 4-5m on the PS3. Maybe on the 360's user base it could. Plus, there will be another FPS to steal it's hype and cut it's legs short since it's such and overdone genre. Only big games I see coming up for the PS3 that can pull of the type of numbers people here are suggesting is Final Fantasy 13 and Gran Turismo 5.

A game that ignores the PS3's Japanese user base is going to be limited.



 

 

 

@ Blazinhead - look, I will clarify my statement. The first KillZone was a flop. Everyone agrees on that. It was definitely no Halo killer. Now, what makes this game even better? Sure the visuals look awesome, but what other clues do folks have make this game to be the end-all. What features put this game into the league of COD, MGS and the like?

Seriously, when will it stop? Why does every single PS3 exclusive have to be hyped and re-hyped, only to see the hype train derail and hypebots scatter like roaches when the lights are cut on?

Reviews are one thing - and I should know. If the game sells, cool. Color me wrong. But if the hype suffocates the game's success, I wouldn't be shocked nor surprised.



I predict 1.2 million first week sales, 4.5 million YTD.

@Destiny Blade

Japan is not even 15% of the PS3's user base
