res 2 sold bugger all first week though....

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.

 

 

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

CoD was given to show that even if a shooter sells well first week it'll establish great legs. Resistance 2 is also not a popular franchise but it estbalished good legs as well.

@ 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.

 

Its 20k now, but I bet it will be down to single digits within a couple of months. People aren't buying New PS3s at the same rate, so that will effect the legs of the games. Furthermore as new games come out they will push Resistance/Killzone 2 out of prime billing into the secondary retail real estate where games go to die.

 



Tease.

Congrats PS3 and Killzone 2. Those numbers are a definite success. It didn't quite reach the numbers some people expected, but it did do very well. (Personally, I expected ~1 million first week.)

its only 2K below LBP which is like 600K ahead of it

hence in comparison to other PS3 games....resistance 2 is showing good legs
