Yhea the 360 having a 8mil console lead might also have something to do with the extra number.

 

It didn't have an 8 million lead (on the PS3's current numbers) when most of those big sellers came out.

 

Yes but the 360 has been ahead this whole gen atleast by 4-5mil if im correct.

Oh Gebx, you and your constant anti Sony bias...

Anyway, I think it's mostly just on VGChartz, and other sites that have such high numbers of PS3 owners, but yes, alot of people psyche each other up about how big all PS3 games are, and they often are dissapointed when the game sells well, because it didn't sell better

 

I've been good lately.. I'm trying to explain why some people might be grumbling about KZ2 sales.

KZ2 released 27th on America....and the VGC sales chart says "28th" ...talk about comparing launch "weeks" .........

 

 Halo 3 pulled in more then 2 million in 24 hours...................nice try to damage control.

Your only proving that PS3 games just arent as relevant in the real world.

LOL i like how you said we 360 fans have high expectations cause our blockbusters ACTUALLY sell good.

PS3 fanboys want to be like us and have the same high hopes.........but that cant be cause the PS3 doesnt sell games like 360.

But ya, as a 360 fan, I compare KZ2 to the opening sales of Halo 3 and Gears 1/2........and I see just how poorly KZ2 did by comparison.

I mean........4 years of development.........for 700k sales???? lol

 

Thanks true. KZ2 will never sell another copy after it's opening "week".

 

omg.....u know what i meant.

for 4 years of dev time......ud expect a higher week 1 yield.

@bolded:

Didn't you read Gebx's post?

Bro, nobody ever said Killzone 2 was going to sell Halo 3 numbers. Seriously, where do you find this shit?

 



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

Got a retro room? Post it here!

One of the main problems is that some people look at top 360 game releases and expect PS3 games to sell similar numbers. The PS3 and 360 owners have a different buying pattern, demographics and install base. The PS3 has better launches of some games, while 360 sells more of others. Shooters have much higher launch numbers on the 360, than they do the PS3.

It makes much more sense to base your Killzone2 sales expectations (and future PS3 sales expectations) on other similar PS3 releases. When you do this, it makes the top 5 launch weeks and your expectations will be much more aligned with reality.

...Which is irrelevant. Odds are it had less than 20 mil user base when COD4 came out , or Halo 3, like the PS3 has right now.
