Forums - Sony - Killzone 2 is nearing 2 million sales.

I think 3 million could be possible down the line.
Yes, I think it has been profitable.
I think a sequel will be announced next year, and will release Holiday 2011.

How high do you reckon it will go?
Approx 3 million, its still selling ok at 30-40k per week and hasn't had an xmas yet. 

Think it has made money on that massive budget yet?
No and not sure it will directly. It has been given away from day 1 in bundles and is a platinum hit sold at a significant discount in PAL regions.

When do you think we'll see a sequel?
If they are smart then they'll be offsetting the investment of building the engine by getting a new game out for Xmas 2010. The engine is a sunk cost now, so if we (I) argue that Killzone 2 has (so far) run at a loss, then KZ3 should automatically get a head start and should be much more profitable.


I don't think it's quite selling that much, is it?

It's been selling a little above 20k the week since the slim launch.

Before that is was around 10k.

If sony were smart they would re issue the MGS4/Kz2 bundle with a 250 gig slim.

Wow, that is quite sad... though it might have something to do with all the weapons in KZ1 had secondary fire! My biggest dissapointment (other than rico) with KZ2 was not being able to launch grenades out of my sweet rifle anymore!!

 

OT: 3 mill max

Made a profit as Sony was publisher

KZ3 maybe not for awhile, but probably before PS4 is out. I could see a new ip or another company using the KZ2 engine first.

But PS2 also sold 120 million more units than PS3 (sad I know).

This game got to 2 million with the worst Ad campaign I have ever seen since Dreamcast, Killzone 3 will take less time to make, and the budget for it will be lower too, so im guessing that Killzone 3 will come out christmas of 2011 and will sell around 5 million (remember PS3 userbase will grow tremendously).

lol.. yea the american ad was pretty terrible. "look at this shit.. a bullet in real time" how does the game look ? "fuck that man, it's a bullet !"



Check out my game about moles ^

I guess it depends on how you line up the launch

If you look at this chart you'll see that recently it's started moving units again



Never argue with idiots
They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience

1. 2.9 million

2. No, not with KZ2. But they will make a profit with KZ3 which will be a lot cheaper to develop.

3.Kz3 in 2011 or 2012
