The 6% of Killzone 2 for its first 6 week sales is very small in comparison to other exclusive current generation console shooter titles. Halo 3 = 33% attach rate on X360. Gears of War and Gears of War 2 both have attach rates around 1 in 5 copies of the game sold per console sold. One in three X360 owners own Halo 3.

The attach rate of Halo 3 was reportedly as high as 50% in its first month or two when X360 install base was around 14 million, 7 million copies of Halo 3 had been sold. The 10 millionth copy of Halo 3 will roughly conincide with 30th millionth X360 console sold.

Gears of War and Gears of War 2 both have attach rates around 1 in 5 copies of the game sold per console sold.

Someone mentioned in here that RPGs do not sell well on X360. That is not true. That only applies to niche JRPGs which are an acquired taste. The mainstream Western RPGs: Fallout 3, Oblivion, Mass Effect and Fable 2 have sold exceptionally well on the XBox 360. PS3 is a JRPG console where these niche games sell more due to the large Japanese install base in Japan of PS3. X360 is a WRPG console where the USA buy a lot of the WRPG titles on X360.

MGS 4 had sold attach rate on PS3 is around 1 in 5 copies of that game sold in relation to PS3 console owners. Attach rate for MGS 4 for its first month was around 25 to 30% but that attach rate has slightly dropped off over the 10 months to around 20%.

sigh....

GTA SA- 17.78m sold=12.7% of ps2 user base

basically what your trying to say base on your argument is that GTA SA sold really bad since only 12.7% of ps2 user base bought it.

What has the bolded  got to do with PS3 and X360 attach rates? 

Newsflash: "PS3 is not the PS2".

Tough times = fewer game purchases.

I would love to get the game, I just dont want to pony up $60

^^According to your argument...most of the games sold poorly since only X% no. of the console userbase bought it and I used GTA SA as a good example it sold 17m copies and yet considered "BAD" because only 12% of the console userbase it's on bought it.

1.32m copies of Killzone 2 divided by 21.55 million PS3s = 6.15%. Around 6%.

learn math. 21.55 - 3 = 18.55 1.32/18.55 = 7.12 about 7

 

Conveniently exclude the Japanese PS3 install base. By the way if we cherry picked all game sales and left out Japan region for X360 and PS3 games we would have much higher attach rates.

Either way 6 or 7% is more or less the same.

True, but since you like to "cherry pick" at alot of negative things about the ps3, its more or less the same.
