There's no way KZ2 will have close to 1.1 million sales in the first week, or more specifically in one region. These are probably the amount of copies retailers have bought.

well arent you a troll.

There is always a possibly that a PS3 game let alone a gmae like Killzone 2 to have a 1.1 million first week. There is still a few more weeks left and mattering customer demand these numbers will increase. As they increase the possibility that 1m in a region increases.

Come on now. It's a little unreasonable to think Killzone 2 to sell 1.1 million first week in Europe.

 

It's a little unreasonable to think it will hit 1 million worldwide.  World at War only managed 700k on the ps3 in the thick of the holiday season.

while britains certainly do preorder most of the other europeans don't, so don't expect a 1million european first week based on this news people

Are you kidding me?  bbsin is by no means a troll, and I completely agree with his statement.

 

the 1.1 million is strictly europe if interpreted correctly. so even if it was only 1.1 million copies retailers bought, thats still setting up for a massive first week in EU (400k++) which makes it plausible that 1 million + WW can be broken on the first week. plausible...yes, will it happen...we will see, do i think it will...no but pretty close.

my prediction of 2mil+ first week might come true

 

That implies that you didn't think it would come true previously.  As such, I have to wonder why you made the prediction in the first place.  0_o

I agree with makingmusic

remember Gt5 Prologue SHIPPEd 1 Million too 1st week in EU

its 1st week sales were around 500K in EU I think

It isn't just for Europe.  He was talking about the ps3 and Sony in general for the entire article except for one line.

Just look at this line:

"the forecast was 10m at the beginning of the year and it's still 10m."

That's concerning the ps3's yearly sales on a global scale.

@makingmusic

so you think he was talking about the 1.1 Million number as a global pre-order value?

I honestly think it's 1.1mil NA+EU because he also states about the 4.46 PS3's shipped so far world wide.

By the way, MGS4 sold only 1.2mil NA+EU alone on the first week, seeing Killzone 2 has 1.1mil with just 3 weeks until release is amazing. Also, the AD campaign for UK isn't released yet.

Also, he didn't even add the Killzone 2 bundles coming for EU, wonder how much will actually be made.

this thread is going to cause LOTS of disappointments as people aren't understanding that SHIPPED never equals sales

taken from the link,

"And there are some encouraging signs for SCEE, which Reeves understandably wants to focus on. While PSP and PS2 software sales have fallen (by 15% and 51% respectively), PS3 games sales are up 53% and there's a healthy 1.1m pre-order book for Killzone 2, the first of a new batch of IPs that Sony will be counting on."

he states the SCEE, is this just because killzone 2 is made under them or is the 1.1m EU pre-orders? thats what got me
