lol at all the speculation regarding what prerequisites were needed for Killzone 2 to break even. This is a forum. Nobody here knows. Fantastic sales for an RTS. Think the brand helped a bit seeing as reviews were harsh. Killzone 2 beat cod 4 and 5 week 1 in Eu I think. Very good.



Ynwa.

On a Halo Wars related sidenote, its interesting to see that no other RTS on the Xbox 360 (which sells them best) sold more than around 20k first week in Others.

That means Halo Wars outsold the best sellers by a factor of around 8.

Halo Wars did awesome for an RTS. This should be universally agreed in my opinion.

 

I agree, the Halo Wars numbers are pretty damn good considering that most RTS players only play on PC...

and killzone 2 OUTSOLD COD4's sequel (PS3 version) week 1 sales wise in EU

NOTE: COD4 PS3 outsold Killzone 1

I think it's a bit disingenuous of some folks on this thread to pretend that the very vocal pro-Sony VGChartz community has NOT super-hyped this game. I also think there are a few people who are posting in here protecting KZ2, acting like they've never bad mouthed a 360 game...also disingenuous.

Regardless that is off-topic; looks like KZ2 gave the PS3 hardware just the shot in the arm it was looking for; combined with Yakuza 3 (sp?) in Japan, this will probably mark the first time, in a long time that PS3 will not lose ground to the 360. Good news! Next step would be maintaining that momentum.

Wii sales are consistently getting lower and lower. Ps3 & Killzone 2 just outsold 360 by a small margin in the UK.



PREDICTIONS:
(Predicted on 5/31/11) END of 2011 Sales - Xbox 360 = 62M;  PS3 = 59M;  Wii = 97M

Well Sony was right about KZ2 being a platform mover...
Not sure if this is how many they had expected, I'm actually quite curious about NA sales!

I think KZ2 sales are very good. I predicted 700k WW first week. So either way I know I am most likely not over-estimating.

What I don't understand is why everyone thinks it is just going to die.

 

Also to make it look even better, look at when KZ2 released and when COD: W@W released.

@euphoria

the post was for starcraft

I accidently said it was for you

he claimed Halo Wars is the best debut for a 360 RTS

I said Killzone 2 debuted better than COD4's sequel....a huge achievement
