CGI is correct!!!

I mean, it's simple, the game WILL hit 2.5mill this year. I think the majority know this though

And to the original topic, 3mill sales WW at the lowest is a inevitable, but I still think higher due to possible further bundling and legs from DLC.

 

So you expect 30k a week? plus a bit boost at christmas? Okey dokey. I'll remember that when its time for you to "eat crow"

 

I don't know about the Holiday Season boost, but 30k a week isn't even a large number when you consider the legs PS3 games have in others.

 

lol 30k isn't a large number? why is MGS4 the PS3's biggest game selling 5k a week WW? LBP and R2 both under 18k a week.

5 games managed above 30k this week WW all newly released games .....

 

That could be argued. What remains however is the nature of the titles. Due to mgs4's failed multiplayer component, it's sales are mostly used games now. Just walk into your closest gamespot and count how many used copies of mgs4 they have relative to say cod4. these don't factor into totals.

For kz2 on the other hand, it is mostly multiplayer like cod4 was so that gives it an advantage over even mgs4. To add to that, it's a first party game so sony could bundle to hell without having to pay anyone but themselves.

Agreed once again. Man, what's with you, is as if YOU are in my head? Creepy

Its going to be/is bundled like mad. It would surprise me very much if 1.5 million more PS3s are not sold in Europe.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

remember many people didnt expect lbp to even hit 1 million before this year. look how that turned out

Yeah it got bundled and christmas came about .. and not its selling 17k a week.

 


pathetic excuse since it blew past the million mark and christmas isnt something people just conveniently forgot about while predicting. Christmas was taken into consideration AND bundles too since they were announced before game launched. also look at NAs sales where there is no bundle. To think bundles helped that much is insane while looking at eu to na ratio for other games

Given its weak opening it obviously took christmas and bundles to do what it did. I wasn't among the few that didn't think it would hit a million I might add.

As of Killzone 2's fourth week of sales it sits at 1.24 million.

Using only ps3 titles...

As of Haze's fourth week of sales, it was at 277k. It now sits at 730k, a 160% increase.

As of CoD4's fourth week, it was at 969k. It now sits at 4.1 million, a 223% increase.

As of CoD:WaW's fourth week, it was at 1.523 million. As of now, it sits at 3.10 million, a 103% increase, and it is far from being done selling.

As of RSV2's fourth week, it was at 402k. Now it sits at 1.07 million. a 166% increase, and it'll probably sell small amounts for the next year or so.

I can't think of another example that doesn't fall in between Haze and CoD4. This means that at worst Killzone 2 will increase its current lifetime sales by 160%, and that's assuming the game has either bad word of mouth like Haze, or little to no word of mouth like RSV2, both of which are unlikely.   Hell, the game hasn't even had its first holiday season yet, unlike the above four titles!

1.24 * 2.6 = 3.22 million. The game should sell at least 3.22 million lifetime.

I find it funny how many times I've seen people say Killzone 2 won't break 3 million, sometimes even saying it'll die off between 2 and 2.4 million. This makes no sense, and I honestly have to wonder if these people can do basic math, or if they have any analytical skills at all. :P

Edit: Beaten badly by Wiistation.  =/

makingSENSE476 ftw!!! I heard someone suggest you a new user ID before lol.

 

That someone was me. Usually Makingmusic is making sense. So I suggested that he change his user ID. Whether his predictions turn our right or wrong is immaterial because he always bases them on logic. Which makes easy to see how he reached his conclusion. He maybe Vulcan, it would explain a lot

Logical posts are almost always ignored by fanboys. Time after time, thread after thread someone posts an exceptional response on the thread's very first page that resolves the issue. However, fanboys ignore it and the thread carries on for thirty pages or more.....what can you do?

They have to continue the argument, who doesn't want some nifty VG$?
