Halo 3 did 62k

Resistance did 33k

Wonder how much Killzone 2 is going to end up at after the first week.

Would those be first day or first week sales? I'm curious to see how Killzone 2 will end up in its first week.

great sales for MHG, if you think it's a Ps2/PSP game released before

Killzone 2 launch is not so good, for me, if you think that Muramasa for Wii which was less hyped sold about the same... (and i'm really bored of Wii hate at the same time)

seems Japan is still just Nintendo/RPG's



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

Why is it that people assume the japanese audience that buys MH on PSP is different from the audience that would buy it on PS2. They are the same people.

I don't believe japan is as graphics whorish as westerners are, why else would handheld titles be crushing the competition there.

because they didn't buy it on the PS2?

 



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

Wow good opening sales for MHG on the Wii, its is only a port of old game after all and it should easily go above 100k first week!

@Louie

No the wii owners didnt say it would do gangbusters but put it as a reason for the Wii to zoom past ps3 in Japan. Thats to me is them just saying the game is going to be big

 

Fair enough then. I'd personally consider the numbers to be decent, though but that depends on expectations.

@ rainbird: halo and resistance were first week sales.



Rainbird on 24 April 2009

@ papflesje

Okay, then Killzone 2 still has a shot at outselling R2 first week, though I doubt it will outsell Halo 3



CrazzyMan on 24 April 2009

So... MHG with MH3 demo will sell around 130k first week?
That`s really FAR from MH success on PSP. =]
BUT atleast 2nd new game on Wii, that will pass 100k in Japan this year.

KZ2 will do around 35-40k, that`s a little better than Ressistance 2, but after all it`s a FPS. =)



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far
