Even shipped worldwide, 1.1 million pre-orders three weeks before release is nothing to scoff at.

There is a very good chance KZ2 will break a million first week.

This is probably for the whole PAL territory, which is what SCEE is concerned with. Either way it's a good number and yeah it may well sell more than a million first week worldwide.

I'm expecting this game to outsell MGS4 in the end, also due to bundles which Sony will push instead of a price cut.

I think he means EU when he says SCEE.

Unless this game sells 20M copies I am going to be dissapointed, so whatever it sells is really irrelivent to me. Basically I look at Killzone, as one of the franchises that make the system. Just like Mario, Gran Turismo, and Halo. If you own a Playstation, Xbox, or Nintendo porduct and don't have those games...... I had to stop because the amount of anger that causes could get me another ban.

"SCEE is the owner and promoter of PlayStation products and services within the PAL region, with offices across Europe, the Middle East and Africa."

Wow 1.1 in europe... imagine what it is in america... that is a shooter country! This game will sell great.

1.1 million preorders only in europe? wow thats like a lot right?.

@NJ5

Thanks. That is what I ment. I would have been better off saying.

When he says SCEE, it only makes since he means within the teritories under SCEE.

1.1 million MUST be sold to retail.

Killzone2 will not cross 1million in Europe its first week.

Here are some games and their first week sales in Europe:

• Mario Kart Wii: 596k
• Halo3: 908k
• Gears of War2: 589k
• Super Smash Bros.: 298k
• Fable II: 298k
• Call of Duty 4: 179k (PS3) / 301k (Xbox360)
• Call of Duty WaW: 412k (Xbox360) / 343k (PS3)
• Metal Gear Solid 4: 564k
• Little Big Planet 176k
• Bioshock: 141k (Xbox360)
• Wii Fit: 644k
• Super Mario Galaxy 185k
• Grand Theft Auto IV 1020k (Xbox360) / 1206k (PS3)

So listing some the biggest games this gen, there is one game that crossed the 1million mark and that is GTA IV. I just don't see Killzone2 selling more than Mario Kart, Gears of war2 or Halo3. Actually I see it around 400k. That is 16.6% higher than CoD WaW (PS3).

So i guess sales in Europe will be like 300-400k first week maybe.

Shippe numbers one would think but this means Killzone 2 will sell at least 1.1 million alone in the EU. People really underestimated this beast, it seems gamers have no idea of what a pretty game does to the casual gamers.
