OT: I saw quite a few MGS4Vcommercials, but somehow, I think KZ2 has a shot at outselling it in the long run.

 

In the long run, yes I see it having a chance at outselling MGS4 but in terms of first week I have absolutely no clue. MGS4 had a big start because it had a long time fan base along with it.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

Killzone 2 will also have 3 days compared to the 6 days MGS4 had.

We will find out in a weeks time.

Really? Why did MGS4 have 6 (or if 6 is the norm, why is KZ2 getting 3)

And with that info I may have to lower expectations a little... maybe 400-450k

 

From my personal experience games usually release on Tuesday here in the US, but for some odd reason KZ2 is releasing on Friday. If they stuck the normal schedule everyone has been using forever the game would have been coming out tomorrow.

 

If they kept to the normal schedule you'd probably have to wait until the week after. KZ2 is an SCEE game, they obviously don't wan't SCEA to release their game in the US before they have even released it in Europe, so really SCEA should release it the Tuesday after. Luckily for you SCEA decided to release it same day as UK, so you end up getting it a few days early.

 



yes it will coze Americans like fps more than life...so about 1.4 - 1.9 million

Not even close. I predicted 450,000 for NA, should be around 550k for Europe. Maybe up to 500k for NA, but once again, nowhere near MGS4. It also won't have the 450k boost from Japan that MGS4 got; 100k is the best that it can hope for, first week, and that's in April.

I reckon around 350 to 450k first week in america and maybe 250k in EU. However I believe europe will have significantly better legs.

My predictions may seem relatively low but I like it when me being wrong means a games doing better then I thought instead of the it doing worse :P

It will have much better legs though. I can see it topping 5 million LT. 6 million is within reach, but by no means likely. 4 million is pretty much certain.
