Forums - Sales - VGChartz Sales Battle of the Day (10/23) - Killzone 2 vs. Left 4 Dead

No no no remember L4D2 is "DLC" and the real L4D will still get support.



Around the Network

I think Killzone 2 will win eventually, mainly (as others have stated) because L4D2 is out next month.



Does anybody think that Uncharted 2 will impact Killzone 2's sales? Before Uncharted Killzone 2 was the biggest PS3 exclusive of the year, so will that take away from Killzone 2's sales, or will the hardware boost the PS3 gets from Uncharted help Killzone 2?



I say Left 4 Dead. Killzone 2 may be selling more on a weekly basis right now, but it's not by any huge amount. It hasn't shown strong enough legs to maintain these sales, and L4D will probably finish a few 100,000 units higher.

Why do people think KZ2 will have more sales? Because its on PS3?

 

Thats like expecting a JRPG on 360 to outsell a JRPG on PS3... in Japan!

Because L4D2 will be released next month and it will kill L4D sales.

There's still the possiblity of boosting them as well, plus when looking at the legs of KZ2 doesn't seem very likely it'll make up that difference already there.

L4D is online game and I can't see how the second one well boost the sales.

It seems some people think Left 4 Dead 2 will help the original game and other people think it will hurt it. Does anybody want to elaborate on why they think it will hurt/help the original?

I think L4D 2 will hurt sales of the first because it simply offers a better experience. I dont really know any gamer that would want to buy a game that so heavily relies on Multiplayer when the community will probably move on to the sequal. CoDMW and CoDWaW arent direct sequels but i dont see anything like CoDMW happening with L4D.

I still think L4D will end up selling more than KZ2 unless KZ2 sees constant 25k sales for a while, through the holidsays, while L4D drops significantly.



Left 4 Dead's lead will have shrunk by next year, but I think sales of both games will be dead before Killzone 2 can overtake it.
