Sony need to L2Advertise their games more :( This game totally deserves more sales, its ridiculous.
To be honest i expected allot more than "just" 150k.

This game has gotten heavy advertisement. Went to the movie theater 2 weeks ago and saw Star Wars and Terminator. They had advertisements before those movies. Lots of commercials on TV too.

Yeah. this game was advertised heavily. As one who has watched nearly every game of the NBA Playoffs, I can attest that it was heavily promoted during the postseason. 



hopefully ioi's less than 200, greater than 150 was a PREDICTION. eeek hopefully.

Oh no, I'm sorry. This game was advertised plenty. I saw dozens upon dozens of commercials for it, and good ones too. Commercials running on several different stations at many hours of the day. There is really no excuse for this game not selling. I have no intention to troll whatsoever, but this has been bugging me for the longest time. Why can't the PS3 have games debuts as big as the 360's? Heck, the 360 has had dozens of big debuts (200k+) that the PS3 also never sees, even when it had only sold a small amount in America. In America, Gears of War had a 20% attach rate in it's first week!

I don't mean to put down the PS3 at all. I'm a big Sony fan, but it just frustrates me so much when the games don't sell like they should. This is a great game with great advertising, IT SHOULD SELL AMAZINGLY. Grrrrrr.

I was seriously going to write the exact same thing. Matter of a fact if you asked me the game got more than it deserves in advertisement. The only way to top that is for a full HALO 3 type advertising campaign

They are a lot of posters and trailers in HOME almost 10 times more than it was back in KZ2 days. They have like 10 trailers for the game on PSN store KZ2 had 1 or 2 only

So for the game not selling it’s the people who are not buying. Hell they even bundled Uncharted 2 Beta with the game to push it more which was smart

Good game BTW no matter what sells it gets. Just got my Platinum today (my first ever Platinum !!)



Xbox Live = lots of grassroots type hype. I think it makes the PS3 launches look bad thats all. But it doesn't mean they are actually bad.



Tease.

REEEEEMIIIIIIIX !

i don't think Sony could do any better advertising the game, i've seen many ads

150k-200k is great for a new IP, it will probably reach 1m

is the about 150k-200k just for America?



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

@ dark: the thread that ioi posted in was for worldwide sales, so probably not America Only.

@ montana: I wrote something similar in that other thread. It's weird how it seems that ninty and ms can just fart in a bottle and sell it like crazy, while Sony can put diamonds in a cup and still won't sell 3 copies.

i dunno, ive played it and crackdown..... and crackdown has a slight edge....  but both awesome games and i really wish crackdown went multiplat so everyone could bask in its glory glad 2 is coming, and i hope infamous sees a quick sequel ... thats multiplat ... also  fences ... try and do better next time then fences .... all kidding aside i hope it does get some dlc and lots of sales it deserves both. and the ps3 gaming library is better for this game being out
