The number will be weak....partially due to split sales, but in general, because the game failed to deliver on the level of MGS4...even.

KZ2 is arguably the best FPS out on the PS3 specifically, and one of the top FPS titles on all consoles.  It may have a few minor issues, but is great (wait for my full thoughts after I am done beating it, and try multi a bit).  However, unlike MGS, it is not an established franchise.  It is like a new launch of a new franchise.  So, it would be hard pressed to see it delivering saleswise the way MGS4 did.

 

 

 

So my question is this...Gears of War was what???  Sorry, but sometimes, the excuse making get's the best of me, wrt why we hear about how the latest and greatest ps3 game will blow the doors off...and when it doesn't materialize, we get excuses for the mediorce performance...

With the NPD about to release the numbers for the month of February what should the figures be for USA? The american numbers for the 2 days on sales were 359k units sold. So if Vgchartz are right what should the US numbers be?

Will be interesting to see how close they are to this one. The fact it has been out 2 weeks today and still no Sony press release saying the game sold xyz would maybe lead me to think the numbers could be quite a bit over. Guess we will see soon!

your mixing sony up with microsoft there. sony hardly ever come out with sales unlike microsoft who give sales for nearly every game that comes out. anyway i think sony has bigger things to worry about right now then giving us the sales for their games. only they need to know the sales why would they care if we know or not? obviously fanboys like you probably care but no one else does.

what about gears of war? why do people always insist on mentioning it? its not like it sold a crazy amount anyway. what 5-6 million? most games sell that much these days anyway but oh i get it xbox fans have to boast about gears of war because its exclusive and its the only game worth playing on the xbox 360.

VGC is real close with NPD.
