my reply was for starcraft & you so some it was not directed towards you.

but HW sales wise....I am not too disappointed

I mean what scope does a game mostly hyped online + a sequel of a franchise which has been classed as "disappointing" of selling PS3's??

I'm glad that after years of Killzone 2 hyping you have come around to our way of thinking.

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.

My work PC isn't showing the avatars for some reason so I can't even see that you have a KZ2 avatar.

It also seems as though you are mistaking internet hype for world hype. Not once have I heard anyone mention KZ2 outside of these forums, meaning in the real world. It is like I said in another thread, at my local Gamestop there was zero ads for KZ2 when I picked it up on release date yet there was an overly ridiculous amount of Halo Wars ads.

We will see when America sales come around. Going by what people outside the internet see, we will come back to this debate.

Real world advertisements > Internet hype.

No I'm not mistaking them at all.  I agree that given the level of Euphoria around the PS3-loving interwebs for Killzone 2, the real-world sales simply haven't matched expectations.

KZ2 budget and revenue:

Dev cost:
100 team average x 4 years x $100,000 = $40 million.

Add some outsourcing costs (some AI, perhaps some texture work, some of the sound & music/orchestratingm voice actors etc) ~ $10 million.
--------------
= ~$50 million

Marketing (hard to estimate):
~$30-40 million?
-----------
total expenses: $80-90 milion


Each game copy sold generates $30.

So it would need to sell 2.67-3 million to break even.

Early numbers indicate a 900,000-1 million copies opening week, which means lifetime sales of 4 million.

4 million generates $120 million. So, pretty much guaranteed to make at least a lil profit.




no fucking way they spent that much on ads. also you are having them work on 2 ps2 games 1 psp game and 1 ps3 game.... so... 100 guys working on the ps3 5 guys on the psp 8 on the one ps2 game and 7 on the other? being publisher and dev sony would get closer to 40 dollars per game

Still talkin "apparent" expectations eh, who woulda thought....?

Yeah who would've?  Well I'm glad you've come around to a logical way of thinking now, even if it is post-launch.

The expectations most Ps3 fans held for this games launch set it up for a relative failure, when in fact it has done ok.

For the last time:
What. Fans. And. What. Numbers. Please? This has got to be the most tired excuse yet, really.

Excuse?  Sorry?  For what?

I said the game did well.  But those many PS3 fans (yourself included) who hyped it as the second coming have clearly witnessed an underwhelming first week.
