I still don't get you people, you need to stop just looking at the number and calling it a failure. This is a month where the 10th highest game only sold 91k. It's very slow this time of year, Killzone still has life in it.

 

The same can be said for Halo 3..but with much more credebility

You talk about Halo 3 like it is normal, when really, it is the exception.

^ exactly KZ2 still has its first holiday period, heavier bundles later in its life (like uncharted) and greatest hits all to look forward too. all of which will just increase total sales.

For comparison average expectations were 690k first week. One million less than MGS4 first week(More than 50% less). In my mind that would equal less than half of MGS4 LT sales... which it will do more than... which is fantastic

^10million doesnt equal the majority of 30million...

so no it wasnt pretty dumb. i understand what i say

 

But it does equal a 1/3 of it...And also Halo 3 sold over 30k last month....Somthing Kz2 could not do...


Umm, it did sell over 30k last month, and a third is still not a majority.

That said, the game is at a 12% attach rate for NA. It has a 7% attach WW. So do you really think that is a failure?

Does anyone have budget figures on KZ2?  I'd consider it a failure if it didn't end up making a profit.

 

Most sites point to $40 Million was the budget and some reference that it may have possibly gone up to $60 Million.

I bet it is in the $40 Million area if it went over budget I don't see Sony letting it go over budget by more then about 10 percent.

fantastic numbers?..Halo 3 sold ''104,415'',..,..,..any way..

I just hope the game will sell enough to deserve a sequel. Two or ten millions, I just don't care.

did you know that the 60mil figure was taken from surfer girl? an unreliablle source at best. to make that rumor more absurd is that she said a miss management double its budget.... now lets think about what that means... how does anything double 30 million? only logical explanation would be to scrap the project(almost certainly finished) and redo everything.... ok... but if that happened wouldnt it also take twice as long to get out instead of a normal 3.5 year development time that it took them?
