Forums - Sales - Will Killzone 2 break 3 million sales worldwide lifetime?

Chrizum on 31 March 2009

Probably not this year, but next year, definitely. I can see it sell as much as 3,5 million. 4 million is unlikely at this point.

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.

 

 

 

bundles won't do much. Sony was giving in europe Resistance for free with every ps3 for like 14-18months and it manage to make less than 1mln there. KZ2 bundles won't have such impact(i would say less than 300k would come from bundles in KZ2 LTD sales)

Where did you pull out that figure of Resistance < 1mill in Europe then, after bundles? And what does Resistance have to do with KZ2 in this regard?

 

i'm just talking that bundles won't have huge impact on KZ2 sales as you may think cause it's a little too late in ps3 lifecycle. besides i don't think sony will keep standard KZ2 bundle for longer than 2-3 months(of course there will be probably xmas themmed bundles with KZ2) - same was with LBP and GT5p bundle.

That's quite subjective. The bundles aren't here to "save the PS3". They will continue to drive sales as KZ2 is selling great for a title released in February. It will hit 2.5mill later this year, with 3mill incoming sometime by Spring/Q1/Q2 2010.

 

What sort of legs are you expecting the game to have throughout the year?

A better question is, why WOULDN'T it reach 2.5mill in 2009?

Again people, read makingmusic's post, why is that logic being ignored?

 

Huh? why don't you answer the question I gave you, I mean if you're going to quote me? I'm asking what sort of legs you think the game will have? 50k a week? 30k a week?

 



 

haxxiy on 31 March 2009

Yes, of course it will. Give the game some time.

I think it will break 3 million.

And then I can grin at all the 360 fanboys who keep making these "do you really think it'll reach [x] milestone? lolololol" threads.

Or they could revive this and make you eat crow? is your sole purpose on this site to constanly bash the "rival"

 

and yes I think it will hit 3 million but not this year, late 2010

No, but their sole purpose seems to be to constantly bash the sales of my games. *bursts into tears*

 

Not really, you just cherrypick what posts to reply to.

Well for the sake of precision, I can't answer that. For the sake of prediction, IMO it will sell enough this year to clear 2.5mill. My question to you, however, needs answering: why WOULDN'T it hit 2.5mill in 2009, since you seem to think, it won't.

 

Where did I say it wouldn't? Actually I think it will be close, if it maintains 30k a week for the next 30 weeks thats 900k + the 9 weeks of christmas.

It should be close, it all depends on what legs it gets, and you don't know what kind of legs its going to have, for all you know it could go down to 15k a week. So you're being ignorant calling people out that don't think it will hit 2.5M this year. Thats their opinion and there is the possibility it won't hit 2.5M and that you will be wrong.

Resitence 2 and Little Big Planet are both below 20k a week just 20/22 weeks after launch. Now you tell me what makes Killzone so different?
