Gears 1 = 600k WW first week
Gears 2 = 900k WW first week
Halo 3 = 3.8m WW first week

Killzone shouldve released around the holidays.

Gears 1 did 900k WW 1st week, and Gears 2 did 1.9 million WW 1st week.

I do agree though, KZ2 should've waited for the holidays.

if you consider the hype - dissapointing sales
if you ignore the hype - good sales for a PS3 exclusive

great release. Basically tying (or passing when we get Japan sales) the sequel to the biggest FPS game since Halo 3 (CoD4) is pretty amazing.

4th best opening week for a PS3 game!!

A. I'm not sure there will be profit at all.

B. This game didn't move hardware.

C. This game almost beat the PS3 version of CoD5, not "CoD5." CoD5, overall, destroyed this game in sales, it's a joke to compare the two.

D. Just be happy with the reviews. These sales were expected, and even if they weren't, they are barely above expectations. No megaton here, barely a ripple, move on.

Good Job GG. Almost beat PS3 version of CoD5. Seems like KZ2 is in good company.

GG wouldn't be wrong to make a good mission pack and launch it before next Xmas, together with an edition of the complete original game + expansion pack to lure people not owning it yet.

A. your wrong.....someone did calculations n made the killzone 2 breaking even point at 2.2 Million.....1.2 Million copies shipped to EU already....thats easily profitable

B. Yes it did.....13K in NA & EU....= 26K.....those 26K PS3's weren't sold because of 50 Cent: blood on the sand (the other PS3 debut of the week)

C. I was implying COD 5 PS3 version....everyone in the thread has understood that....but ofcourse COD in itself is bigger than halo now.

D. Move on? WTH....its a thread for people's opinions.....impressive imo to sell near COD 5 opening week levels....no big deal.

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
