i know the game plays well and the mp is fun, but i consider mediocre fps all of those that feature poor stories, which sadly is about 95% of fps, specially the ones that had huge development cost like this or Halo 3

This game is going to have good legs to be honest, plus it is releasing around the time of year where its hard to sell software. So that makes the numbers even more impressive. it has outdone cod 4 n waw first weeks. KZ2 does not have the holiday period to keep the sales up though

well, it's bundled in Europe right? That should keep the sales high for some time

i dont want genres to do bad, i want games with high production values and mediocre story telling to do poorly, why?, because with all the capacities of the systems today, there's no excuse for having such poor and unispired writing

How many days do they get then? I am pretty sure after a week the site is updated with numbers, this is not Famitsu or Media Create.

Developers aren't going to go out of their way to please a minority of people who want a fantastic story. They would rather cater for the majority; in Killzone's case a decent/good story with excellent other features such as multiplayer and gameplay.

Are you guys tracking the KZ 2 Bundles in Europe as well or this is just the sells for the standalone game?

A while back regarding MGS 4 sales, its sells were higher when you added in the bundles being sold but for some reason they were not counted.

this is sadly very true, and it makes me very sad that most well writen sell so poorly, to be fair not every game has to be a masterpiece, yet games like this that have been in production for so long and so many resources having been invested on its creation i cant forgive them for having such generic stories

Vgchartz always tracks sales for bundles. Otherwise Wii Sports wouldn't be a 43 million seller.

It's a good result, not an amazing one but a very good openning for Killzone 2, it should have some decent sales in few weeks and i reckon it will do fine lifetime, GTA IV and MGS4 did not have strong legs, killzone will probably follow this pattern.

Nowhere near Gears, but i dont think that many people expected it to be in the same league sales wise. No hardware boost a expected as well, overall i think it was a solid/good launch for KZ2 but nothing incredible (saleswise)
