funny how a game sells more than the previous title is a failure on the ps3 but on the 360 selling less is phenominal(SO4)

I'm sorry?  The last Star Ocean was on the Xbox?

The boost for KZ2 in europe is........wait for it......13k units!

Not really sure that can be called a boost but there you go!

Also interestingly it actually beat sales for the same week last year by almost 8k!

The 360 went from 49k to 97k, pretty big increase there.

Good numbers all round really and good sales for KZ2. It had been on sale 5 days so that would mean an average of 74k sold each day. Not great but not bad.

 

Actually it went from 110k (or something) to 97k while the ps3 went from around 70k to 97k. I think you compaired with last year and not last week lol.

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.

You forget a slightly hyped game called erm... Halo3? Even MGS4 was more hyped then KZ2

 

People are confusing internet hype with real world hype.

 

KZ2 sold well for its first week, just not as well as the rabbid (omGodzers there are 5billion KZ2 preorders in Turkey alone, Itz the uberest game of all TiMeZ) fanboys were expecting.

I use to love the flames and rants on KZ2 but it has just grown tired.

Who cares? They still had their former userbase more tha cut in half. You can't spin that.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

@ starcraft

His point is people will celebrate the success of a game like SO4 and then downplay KZ2. Seems fishy to me!

Well there are a couple of substantive differences that render his point moot.

And thats ignoring the fact that one is arguably from the most popular genre on consoles and the other is from a genre that is dying.

Those differences include:

- Microsoft money hatted SE making Star Ocean 4 a no doubt highly profitable venture for them.

- Unlike Killzone 2 which saw a predecessor on a Sony console, SO4 had no predecessor on an Xbox console.

- Killzone 2 is the kind of game that might easily fail to make a profit, whereas it is likely that with a couple of hundred thousand Western sales SO4 will make a profit even before the money hatting.

- Hello?  Japanese Xbox 360 userbase....
