Forums - Sales - Sales: Uncharted 2 vs. Killzone 2

Killergran on 22 July 2009

I highly doubt that Uncharted 2 will have as big a first week as Killzone 2. And the reason for that is the insane hype that surrounded Killzone 2, from its first pre-rendered target video. Uncharted 2 might do well in the long run, probably better than Killzone 2, but the first week is a defaulted win by Killzone.

Also, as I remember it, didn't the original Killzone sell around 2 million on the PS2? It did tons better in Europe than in the Americas, anyway. And the Killzone 2 beta was also very positively recieved, and written about in grand letters all over the internet.

Oh, just a quick point Killzone 1 actually sold around 2m, VGC figures lack EU where it was far more popular

Uncharted 2 is a sequel to a game on the same console so it has more potential to sell well and also boost the sales of the prequel.

I kinda want to play killzone first before killzone 2 to know what has happened in the past but I just don't feel like getting the first one since it isn't really that good.

I'm gonna get both uncharted: drake's fortune and uncharted 2 at the same time.

good decision, i bought uncharted nearly two years after it's release and despite that, the game still managed to amaze me with it's fantastic visuals and thrilling gameplay...definitely buy that game!

Did Killzone 2 really have that much hype outside of the internet?



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

Uncharted 2 will not sell close to Killzone 2's opening week, imo.

Uncharted 2 might be able to sell as much as Killzone 2, but the only thing that makes me doubt that is Modern Warfare 2. But LT, I think that Uncharted will sell better than Killzone 2. Does anyone know how much the bundle of MGS4/KZ2 sold?



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

Uncharted 2 will win.

Main factor- Obvious PS3 slim/ pricecut releasing around the same time.

this, the ps3 slim will highly boost sales and i have a feeling that sony will create a bundle for uncharted 2 or gt5

Advantages U2 will have over K2.

Being a sequel to a much better game then.
It has more good will hype, U1 kicked ass and this thing is all around improvement.
Holidays release.
U2 is made by a more well known and trusted developer.
Bigger user base on launch.
Possible launch after PS3 price cut/Slim.

It MIGHT be able to break 1m ww 1st week release. I just see it selling much better in Europe then K2 did.

Bigger userbase, releases around the time of the Slim and launching around the holidays, yeah I think Uncharted 2 has a very good chance of outperforming Killzone 2.
