I think KZ2 was only pretending to be hyped...

OT: The Xbox 360 sales dropped this week for some wierd reason... So you could say its a tripple whammy really.

Yakuza

Killzone

Strange Xbox 360 drop

Yakuza 3 says Hello!

First Week when Wii in 2009 is down YoY maybe supply problem?

overall good numbers hope that HotD will do better next week after that drop. Dead Rising crap sales - it deserves less then that

kowenicki said: @ darth.... Ok.. I will give you that. I guess Kz2 just helped keep PS3 sales at the same level YOY in the States. I have a feeling the legs wont be too impressive on KZ2.... by the way.... which day in the week did KZ2 launch and what day do games usually launch in the US?

I get that feeling too. Its an expensive AND hardcore title. The darkness of the setting and the fact that it doesn't have split screen local multi-player makes it less ammeniable to older and more casual players.

Its the "I can't see a thing" effect and the "I can't play with my friends" effect". I do hope im proved wrong, but thats my feeling as of now. As soon as I found out that there was no split screen I revised my anticipated LTD sales DOWN by a million.

If Resistance 2 can do 20-30k a week, then so can KZ2.

Well squilliam, if you cant see go to the opticians and if you cant play with friends get a better connection.....

It's the weaker game and the less hyped one... hence lower first week. Popular names and good shooters in general sell very well on PS3 and establish stable legs - see first week sales for CoD WaW and see the legs for it. See CoD 4 legs... KZ2 will follow this pattern IMO.

Why do people think it's so weird that the 360 dropped in sells O_o?

*Gasp* You mean PS3 can still potentially outsell the 360 at it's price!? Blasphemy...

Anything is possible, just clearing that one up for all doubters in the room.

But Killzone is not as popular as Call of duti -.-

nice numbers for the ps3 for it's price
