Attach rates my friend, attach rates. PS3 owners do not buy a lot of games, so every game suffers. Give it time, maybe it'll have good legs.
2,361,533 (-12%) 276,351,345 5.81
2,029,323 (+79%) 122,799,965 5.90
1,618,236 (-9%) 226,562,038 7.84

Really low aren't they... and there is nothing wrong with 710k in the first few days of sales

Killzone 2 is so good, it has Sony fans, AT OTHER Sony fan's throats! Good fun!

I don't even have this game yet and it's entertaining.

On topic, I think 2 weeks into sales is a little too early to worry about the numbers unless said numbers were really poor (and they weren't).



Well,not everyone likes FPS's.The game is still selling well.

It will sell loads of copies,I'm sure of it.



It's just 10x cheaper to get a game from gamefly than it is to buy it. Times like these are especially hard on people that play games; 60 dollars to buy a new game that might not live up to the hype, or 6 dollars to rent it and enjoy it.

Then you have to consider how many ps3 owners like fps- how many have the money- how many are dead- etc.

Its got great reviews

Its had the hype machine in overdrive for months

Its one of the best titles available exclusively for PS3

Yet

Two weeks after launch its only been bought by 1 in 20 PS3 owners.

WTF ?

This is NOT game buying season.  That is during the holidays.  Also, what percentage of PS3 owners you think are into FPS?  I would speculate about half of the PS3 purchases had been made, because people wanted a Blu-Ray player.

 

Me too I bought the PS3 since it's a Bluray player.... And MGS4 player and Fallout 3 player and Bioshock player and SF4 player and Killzone 2 player and Wipeout HD player and a GTA 4 player and DMC4 player and LBP player and Oblivion player and Folklore player and a Resident evil 5 player and a FF 13 player and Resistance 2 player and Uncharted player and a Valkyria Chronicles player....

 

Don't hate the player hate the game.

Yeah. Half of the purchases are because it's a BR player. Especially the European ones (where the attach rate is higher than the 360's ).

 

Is that true? You'd think facts like that would stop the whole "PS3 owners don't buy enough games" stuff.

 

Not by a whole lot, but yes. VGC has PS3 at 4.96, 360 at 4.40, and Wii at 4.95.

 

*sigh*

I will repeat what I said in the Others weekly comments section:

"As for those talking about the PS3 attach ratio.... read what it says above the total software table:
SOFTWARE FIGURES ARE LARGELY INCOMPLETE!

The older a system is, the more software data is missing for PAL figures. So the Wii is slightly above the PS3 (although it includes Wii Sports, but there is a good argument against taking it out when talking attach ratio, who would buy a Wii but no game?)
The X360 will be missing a lot more data though and will have the highest ratio of the current gen in Europe just like it does in Americas (though it won't be as much of a difference as in America, and on a "from launch" basis is probably on par with Wii and PS3)"

 



I'm one of those who have yet to buy it. I'm waiting for my tax money (should receive it by mid to end of march). THEN I'll buy the game.

Hmm that's interesting I didn't realise PS3 had a higher attach rate then Wii (not counting Wii Sports).

 



Well, 3 million of that userbase is in Japan where the game isn't even out yet - Don't forget that.



..economics World Crysis?

..ps3 users no like the fps ?

..?,...
