^SO was on the NES and SO2 still annihilated its sales on theP

Starcraft loses again?

Killed him with his own defense, lol.

The Playstation sold over a hundred million consoles.

Is it Max's inference that the Xbox 360 will do the same making the comparison remotely fair?

 

 

I have a feeling this is going to end up just ilke Uncharted and LBP. People said it didn't do well, sales were lackluster, then later came back to bite them in the ass.

 

Thing is that nobody is here hating on Halo Wars, I see no need to hate on KZ2, especially since many said the same were what they expected. Except you of course.

 

@Kirby

Same to the 360.

exactly which makes the software sales of the xbox360 even more impressive

Pretty much. The people saying "it didn't meet expectations" have yet to claim what those "expectations" were. I'm not sure this game will have the legs of LBP, though.

your acting like the people who say Halo 3 was crap

when its a great game

just like that No FF game is "crap"

evry FF is a GREAT GAME

some people are way to touchy about the franchise....some FF's are better than others thats all

in the same way UNLESS a certain genre's BIGGEST GAMES come out....you have no right to call a genre dead

Excuse me, but FFX2 is horrible, horrible crap...

So now it does well as long as sells what Gears 2 sells? Does not compute.... Remember Gears 2 was coming off of the success of a 5mill+ predecessor, and KZ2 is NEW to this generation and it's predecessor did what 2mill?! What did Gears 1 sell in it's first 5 days in EU?

 

Well it is KILLZONE 2 the most hyped (exclusive) game of this generation.  The sales are ok but compared to his Concurrent BIG fps games sales it is kind of weak.

Not quite ;)

 

 


I am not sure if the Halo juice was released before or after Halo 3 released.

Guys.

It topped the charts in Europe.

It is a sequel to what was considered a very mediocre game. Yet it still managed to sell very well.

Seriously, give it a rest.

 

My god, with the amount of Halo Wars advertising you see everywhere and add to that Halo Wars came bundled for free along with Halo 3, do you see us ranking on it?

Shows who is being the mature ones here does it not?

Hmmm I doubt Brett added the numbers of the Halo Wars + Halo 3 bundle. Last week Halo 3 sold 8.634 units in OTHERS and this week it sold 8.550 units. Something isn't right here......

 

This is also the issue I had with the Japan numbers. I don't think he is adding the bundle numbers properly. Of course I could be wrong, but to see the PS3 sell over 300k Yakuza 3 games and only get a 6-10k bump? Especially when it already has an automatic 10k bump due to the Yakuza 3 Limited Edition PS3s.

I guess we will need to wait and see.

Who is hating on Killzone 2?

I have an avatar that exists to acknowledge it is a quality title.  The first post I made said the game sold well.

But to suggest it came anywhere near the hype that surrounded it is folly.

I'm criticising the PS3 fan culture that led to a game being overhyped leading to an immediate turnaround in forum attitudes from "this game will be massive and shift consoles like no tomorrow" too "this is MORE than what we expected."

I agree that certain games on other consoles have seen the same effect, but Halo Wars is a poor example.  The title received almost no hype until it's release was imminent (indeed, until the demo was released) and has done very WELL based on it's genres sales and hype level.

First off, I never said it did not meet expectations in software sales. However, the hardware sales are only EVEN with larger userbase than previous titles on what was an extremely hyped game. I don't think it was the most hyped, but it definitely was hyped a lot more than an average to good title.

It's true. I only keep it in my collection because I can't bring myself to inflict it on someone else.

I'm such a hero.

I thought the 360 bundle was Halo Wars and Halo 3 or was that a fake pic? Why are Halo 3 sales so low?
