Just to make things really clear, did Killzone 2 sell 750k in its first week or first day or anything?

Because it doesn’t clearly say in the article…

No.

It sold OVER 750k copies from preliminary data.

Before "BUT ZOMG 1.1 MILLION PREORDERS IN EU!" replies come in, that was RETAILER pre-orders.

Impressive sales.

So it's near 750k (plus or minus 10%) yet retailers received nearly 2 million units globally?   That's a sell rate of less than 50% of stock.   OUCH.

750k on the first day/week(Keep in mind its only been out for 1 day before those numbers came in) because the game released on a friday by Sunday its "First Week" Sales would come in. Wait till next friday before we start commenting on this.

Fair enough.  The number was for first week, not first day but if that "week" was very short then waiting for an official week of data is fair.

Erm, so? Overshipping is incredibly common these days from publishers. Stop trying to put a negative spin on something that isn't negative.

@ viper: AFAIK Fallout 3 had 4.7 million sold to retailers right off the bat and it sold about a million between the 360 and ps3 versions in its first week (I know that PC sales still have to be included). So if KZ2 is OUCH, then say double OUCH to Fallout?

So, Killzone 2 sold 750k in less than a week, then?

When are we going to get to know how many copies it sold in a week?

Update schedule has become hectic as of late, so who knows.
