If K2 hits 1 million first week I'll be amazed, and it definitely has a shot at it.

Sony stated EU has 1.1 million preorders so if everyone picks their copy up it has a good chance of being close to 2m.

I have a question about midnight openings -- what does it do for the store?

I know what it does for the gamer -- it gets them the title earlier. But does it buy enough good will to make it pay for the actual costs (labor, utility, etc.)?

And your point is......?

That Halo is indirectly a more popular and therefore 'better' game. The oh so 'subtle' dig. I do enjoy them.

What it does is ready the franchise for frontloaded sales, AND the potential for sequels to sell even more, think WoW, Gears 2, or Halo 3! Look at how frontloaded they ALL were, and you can bet your spleen that they'll ALL have midnght openings for their next iterations. In this case, it helps KZ2 make nicer sales, IMO, and probably assure KZ3 Midnight Launchs.

But if it going to sell the same number of games that first day/week -- through advanced sales -- why should the store open up at midnight, have to spend money on labor (or reallocate it) and utilities just to make customers who have already agreed to buy the game happy?

Of course, if there was not a midnight opening and a 24-hour store had the game that I really wanted, I might go there instead. So I may have just answered my own question.
