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

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?

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......

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.

 

Pretty much. Rabid fanboys were claiming 10 MILLION FW TTLY. But any intelligent person can separate that from real expectations. Internet hype rarely correlates with real world hype. Just ask Street Fighter IV.

 



@CGI

don't argue with nojustno

he's always right

One thing is for sure, American and Japanese (with Yakuza 3 still unknown effects) charts and all WW charts next week will be interesting. Japanese user base growth will also be important for FF XIII JP timed exclusive launch...

kz2 already made profit stop being silly. Sony sold 1.2 million in europe already with us numbers its certainly enough to profit



KZ2 is just another PS3 game that was supposed to bring massive sales, just like MGS4, and LBP, and Resistance 2, etc. However, those massive sales are still not there, the PS3 pulled even in Others on what was supposed to be the best FPS ever, at least that is what most of the Sony fanboys say. It did really good, but just doesn't compare to the really big releases on the Xbox.

@max

your talking to people who refused to believe MGS4 made a profit....until it was blatantly obvious it did

Combining development and marketing cost a conservative estimate (based on the rumours we have access too, and thats all we have accesss too) of the cost of Killzone 2 would be $60 million.  That could easily be $100 million.

Assuming Sony gets $40 from every copy of Killzone 2 sold (again, being nice and generous), You suddenly have to sell anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 million FULL PRICE copies of the game just to break even.

@starcraft
