Lost & Damned Outsells Killzone 2

By Luke Plunkett

Sadly, because it's a digital download, we don't know exactly how many copies of Lost & Damned Microsoft and Rockstar managed to sell. We do know, however, it's more than 323,000.

Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg let slip the information in an interview with GameDaily - in which he calls the Grand Theft Auto IV expansion "the most successful game addon content we've ever launched" - saying "If that content was sold at retail, it would be one of the best sellers across all platforms. It would have outsold Killzone 2".

Interesting. Not for the "outsold" argument (which is hardly fair, since L&D was out for half of February while Killzone 2 was only out for a few days), but for the Lost & Damned sales ballpark. Nice to get one for a downloadable game, even if it still leaves us wondering...

Shock Horror. The GTA Name alone is guaranteed to sell. Killzone 2 is the better game. It doesn't take a genious to know who spent the 50 Million $ Better =)

Hmmm. Well, this doesn't really tell us much that's concrete, but we can speculate on some things.

VGC has Killzone 2 currently at 600k in the US and 1.16 mil WW. Do we think that tL&tD sold more than that? With GTAIV currently at 6.9 mil WW, if only 1 in 5 of them downloaded the expansion (1.38 mil), then that would total more than K2 sold up to now (though it was released some 11 days later).

These are just numerical analysis. I've come to no conclusions. Please don't flame me.

Not like I didn't see this one coming. Seeing as GTAIV has sold 6.9m on the 360 alone. People were inclined to buy the expansion.

Pretty good news for 360 none-the-less.



  • 2010 MUST Haves: WKC, Heavy Rain, GoWIII, Fable III, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Darksiders, FFXIII, Alan Wake, No More Heroes 2, Fragile Dreams: FRotM, Trinity: SoZ, BFBC2.
  • Older Need To Buys: Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Deadspace, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2.

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.

lol..is he now?

 

I'm honestly surprised by the popularity of this DLC.



Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^
