We don't have American software sales for the week just gone yet. Not saying it's going to change the world, just that it's going to turn the trajectory of the KZ2 curve upwards a little.

@ jpc: 360 has a huge shooter fanbase. If Haze had been multiplat, I would have expected it to break a million on 360.

PS3 Call of Duty 4 says hello...

Killzone is tracking above it.

Your little graph proves nothing and you know it.

I find it funny when people act like 2-weeks of sales is enough to say that Killzone 2 is not going to reach high sales yet we get shot down everytime we try to say that Star Ocean 4 is a total flop.

I don't know why I'm posting in here. This thread was doomed from the OP on :-|

Anyways, KZ2 will be getting a purchase from me in a few months... so it will sell better

KZ2 has the 4th highest sales for a PS3 game after 2 weeks. I think it is a matter of people having unrealistic expectations of sales, rather that the game not selling well.

Star Ocean has never been a big title in Europe.

It's biggest seling territory over the lifetime of the franchise has been the US and it flopped there.

I will find the thread but someone posted lifetime shipment data for SO3 and I believe in Europe it was 90k.

For starters, Fable 2 launched in the holiday season, therefore it naturally has a larger opening.

(+ Setting aside the fact that KZ2 hasn't launched in Japan yet, whilst Fable 2's first month in Japan gave it 65k - not expecting KZ2 to sell much over there, but maybe 30-35k first month).

But even despite launching in February, KZ2's 2nd & 3rd weeks are so far very comparable to Fable 2's.

Fable 2: week 2 USA [174k] week 2 EU [160k] week 3 EU [64k]

Killzone 2: week 2 USA [169k] week 2 EU [143k] week 3 EU [65k]

Let's just give it a few months before we review Killzone 2's legs. It'll be intriguing to see what its first 10 weeks look like.

Keep going with your bogus graphs.

You ignore CoD4, instead you keep comparing it to games with that had 4-5+ million install base in their previous titles.

Talk about your fair comparison.

I dunno, even stunning, critically acclaimed games like Mass Effect and Bioshock aren't eclipsing that number. It's really only the 360's multiplayer shooter titans, Halo 3/GeoW that make 4m look small.

while this may be true, it doesn't matter if sales died instantly. Not that it will, but people are jumping the gun way to early all over the place.

Honestly, the PS3 FPS userbase is much smaller than the X360 since you can safely take away about 10m users (since Japan isn't FPS centric). In fact, you can say the PS3 FPS fanbase is even smaller since Halo sold ~70% in NA, where it is most popular. The PS3 is more popular in Europe.

Now, the games sales aren't phenominal, but they aren't poor either when you consider the userbase size and the fact that it has only been out for 2 weeks of recorded sales.

I actually already pointed that out in this thread: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=64484&page=1 but people never learn sometimes
