Forums - Gaming - Resistance 2 showing greater legs than Killzone 2?

richardhutnik on 10 May 2009

Check the VGC sales numbers on the games week by week:

Resistance 2:

Killzone 2:

It looks like, around the 4th week or so in, that Resistance 2 had been selling better on a week by week basis than the Killzone 2.  Killzone 2 got a nice jump, but then the rate of decline was larger. 

Anyone want comment here on there?

Killzone 2 will outsell Resistance 2 in the matter of weeks.

Which is why I posted this as a question, and tried to view the entire picture of sales numbers, not just the first few weeks.  The focus was on LEGS, not initial sales.

Anyone know any way to pull up sales for beyond 10 weeks out?

Wow. Sony fans vs. Sony fans? This is an interesting twist.

But I still think Killzone 2 is going to take this one. I wasn't too impressed with Resistance 2. I enjoyed KZ2's demo (STILL haven't bought it) more than I enjoyed R2's retail copy.

Clicking on "sales history "will give you the best option available I believe.

So that's why your first post focused on the first couple weeks of each game? Killzone 2 had a big launch, but then the dropoffs were bigger as the weeks headed into the yearly slow period. Demand from consumers went down, and people were pinching pennies. This is why the dropoffs kept coming. Resistance 2 was launched during the holiday season, where people were willing to splurge and spend lots of money over the course of several weeks, so the sales were steady.

Killzone 2 will have better legs and it will sell more. Quote me on it. PAL will support Killzone 2 for a long time to come.
