You genuinely think Killzone 2 will be lucky to hit 2.5mil? See MakingMusic's post.

And a game doesn't just *stop* selling because other games of the same genre are released later.

As for this claim about PS3 being more shooter based, I'm assuming you've done no research into this and that it's just wild speculation. I'm not going to spend half an hour of my time now going through the catalogues and creating a tally, but I think it's safe to assume that for every Killzone, there is a Gears, for every Resistance, an L4D, etc. If anything, it'll lean the other way, i.e. more shooters on 360.

(Also, although we don't know what genre MGS5 will be for sure, MGS games have always been classed as stealth rather than shooter titles).

Numonex.

Just beacuse new shooters releases dosent mean Killzone 2 will stop selling heck if just look at worldwide chartz u see games that has been in it over 100 weeks.

Sony will likely cut ps3 price this year which means new ps3 owners will buy the game and they will most likely get to game to platinum and reduce the price.

4-5 million sales lifetime

Easily. People are stupid if they don't think so.

Ha ha. It's so funny when TheTruthProphet uses run-on sentences and poor grammar to debate, but then decides to use words like "emphatic" and "vacuous" when insulting another member. Don't try being a pseudo-intellectual troll, because you need to take lessons on it.

Anywho, Killzone 2 will be selling for a long time regardless of the games released. And it was so painful to watch Numonex come up with shooters. Four examples, only which two of are any threat. The PS3 better watch out when "new Halo game" gets released!

It's going to sell 3 million, and if some people believe it won't, I'd like them to actually show their faces when they're proved wrong. At least then I'd be able to respect them a little.

Yeah Killzone will sell as badly as Uncharted and will never get close to 3M:

oh wait ...

Can I quote you on the bolded the day Killzone 2 crosses 2.5 million?

You see it selling over 1.7 million over a 5 month period that is not a holiday buying season?  Say that is about 22 weeks.  That would mean it would need to sell an average of over 77,000 a week.  The last week, it sold over 84000 copies worldwide, down from nearly 132000.  Here you go:

Region	Japan	America	Others	Total
Total Sales	0.00m	0.64m	0.60m	1.24m
Week 1	n/a	359,354	354,321	713,675
Week 2	n/a	168,700	142,664	311,364
Week 3	n/a	66,700	65,274	131,974
Week 4	n/a	44,240	40,154	84,394

Well, if one is to believe VGChartz, then this is what we are looking at.  And here is Halo 3, released during a holiday season:

Region	Japan	America	Others	Total
Total Sales	0.11m	6.72m	2.54m	9.37m
Week 1	62,415	2,844,837	908,192	3,815,444
Week 2	7,133	589,179	186,084	782,396
Week 3	4,702	241,315	81,874	327,891
Week 4	3,625	128,183	50,984	182,792
Week 5	2,886	79,410	41,504	123,800
Week 6	3,015	54,377	56,486	113,878
Week 7	2,138	56,246	49,902	108,286
Week 8	1,485	74,367	40,367	116,219
Week 9	1,265	115,439	55,917	172,621
Week 10	1,075	100,679	61,745	163,499

Note the uptick and when it happened.  Note how Japan didn't have it, which is because the Christmas season isn't then.

it won't KZ@ sales are decreasing rapidly and i think it will end up at 2.4-2.6mln not more.

um bundles and eventual greatest hit release bud.
