4M is a flop?Holy crap you have High standards /sarcasm you do realize that the Majority of exclusives on both platforms dont even get close to 4M?

I didn't say it was a flop...you joke.

I said this was the thread of "games that sold alright, but should have sold better," and nearly every fucking Playstation 3 exclusive falls into that category.

I hate everyone in this thread.

I think KZ2 is doing just fine. Sure it isn't meeting the over the top fanboy expectations, but it is also not failing like some would have had you think. It is doing exactly how most rational people expect. It didn't change the world, but it gives people one more reason to give the PS3 a look.

fater the hype, killzone 2 floped.

When you hype up a game like the way Killzone 2 was on here, anything short of sales being Halo will be spun as a flop by some.

Lets make a quick comparison here:

Killzone 2: Very high profile game that took years and mega $$ to make.

Left 4 Dead: Pick up and play game that was made for way, way, less $$$.

I am still banking on Left 4 Dead to do more lifetime sales that KZ2 as I believe that L4D will have the better legs.

Both great games just on different consoles.

You can't really compare it to L4D though as the bulk of L4D sales will most likely be the PC version and not the 360 version. For example, I was originally going to get the 360 version, but then opted for the PC version instead.

@euphoria..

many, including you, predicted a gears (1) type performance. Aint gonna happen.

 

I predicted 3.5-4M possible lifetime sales and 750-800k first week.

Gears 1 sold 900k first week, 450k second week. 1.37M first 2 weeks.

Killzone 2 sold 750k first week, 350k second week. 1.02M first 2 weeks.

Guess what else? Gears 1 was the first BIG 360 title, plus release during the holiday season, which you continually choose to ignore.

Killzone 2 sales are doing very well whether you want to admit it or not. It definitely has a chance at over 3M. LBP started off like 300k first week and people called it a flop, now it stands to reach 3M+. Please explain why my prediction of 3.5-4M isn't possible, that is 2-2.5M below Gears 1 lifetime sales.

Good job calling me out about my prediction and being wrong though.

First we get a bogus graph(s), then we get a bogus claim. You're 2 for 2.

 

 

Wasn't KZ2 intentionally delayed by Sony, so as not to compete with Resistence 2?(by releasing in the same time frame) I thought I remembered seeing something like that when the delay to 2009 was originally announced. If so then you can blame Sony for KZ2 not having the holiday season to sell more.

I believe that is what Sony said.  According to how both games have been received, maybe Sony should of delayed R2, and released KZ2 during the holiday.  Of course, it is possible, that if KZ2 didn't smack down Gears 2, people would be faultfinding with KZ2 to death, saying it is a flop.  They would rip stuff like:

1. No coop play.

2. The environment is uniformed and mostly bland.

3. There is no autoaim.

4. The life bar and weapon system are too much like other games.

And look for every other excuse why it didn't beat Gears 2.

LOL xbots on the roll!!!!...why only quote the one predicted 10m FW?? but completely ignores the ppl who said 1.2m LTD???



MDMAniac on 20 March 2009

Every generic shooter should flop, so what's big deal when it flops?

killzone 2, when all is said and done, 4+ million (only my guess so whatever)

gets a bigger fan base for killzone 3 or any spin-off. produced an engine that they can license out to other 1st/2nd party studios to make an amazing game in lesser time, or to 3rd party studios (and i think that brings in some cash eh?). and on top of that 4+ million is very profitable...holy shit balls sony has done well!
