What are the worldwide sales figures for Sony’s killer app? Currently VGChartz has the overall number at 1.04 million but there are still some who believe this to be too low. No offense to VGChartz. Weren’t there over one million pre-orders in the UK alone? Well, that is what was said and right now gamers want answers. Is VGChartz being overlooked, it appears so by many KILLZONE 2 enthusiasts.

Why is it that we as gamers hope for such trivial results when in reality we profit nothing? The game has been purchased by reportedly 1.04 million gamers and it seems they are currently enjoying it a great deal, shouldn’t that be enough? Well, NO! KILLZONE 2 supporters want their beloved KILLZONE 2 to sell like crazy. The intelligent gamer would respond stating that high sales are desired so that guarantees of a more over the top and ambitious sequels to the franchise could be in the works.

Soon NPD will be reporting the results and if their results mirror VGChartz then VGChartz might be owed an apology. However, the likelihood of that happening is slim. Let’s face it, it is still early and if 1.04 million is the right number, great. KILLZONE 2 released February 27th. The game has only been out 2 weeks. In the gaming world that is an admiral accomplishment even if the game boasts the most aggressive and intense action with incredible eye-popping visuals.

Are the current numbers accurate? Well ThEvolution is hoping for the best.

uh.... certainly an interesting "blog" post. I like the part in blue.I guess he really likes KZ2!

someone should shoot them an email explaining the whole pre-order thing

Those pre-orders were probably "shipped to retail" or someone was grossly inadequate at crunching numbers.

Sadly, NPD won't give us the UK/EU sales figures.

anyone know what US retailer pre-order numbers were?

BTW, the EU numbers are coming from an npd like organisation. all the news websites like guardan are posting it. so its accurate. its sony who played a blunder

what blunder would that be?

Alright!

I have the same opinion as Pristine, so I won't bother rewrite what he did. I instead took the time to write out this explanation, which may or may not have taken more time to do. At least this way you know I've read his post and didn't ignore it.

well there is no such thing a 100% accuracy but it should be that far.

I need an English-Sony dictionnary. It seems though the terms sales, pre-order, leader of this generation, success, projections, active accounts, etc. are written the same as in english they mean quite something else in Sony.

I doubt this blogger is even sentient.
