Forums - Sales - Killzone 2 hits 2 million!

ocnkng on 23 October 2009

I predict 3.5 mln lifetime could be more.

One of the reasons why this game was not as successful as the Halo series is due to the smaller install base of PS3 in NA and also due to the larger number of shooter fanatics being a part of the 360 community.

We have already seen sales for this game to increase since the launch of slim. I am confident that sales will increase even more in the coming months.

Great. 2 Million in under a year.

Now let's see if it can stand against Modern Warfare 2

I think apart from the controls and install base, another big reason is the lack of any online or splitscreen co-op.

I really think co-op is a big deal for many gamers, and I expect Uncharted 2 will see better legs as a result of including an online co-op mode.

OT: I think 2m is a decent number but GG were almost certainly looking for higher. It should reach 2.5m LT at least now, which is quite a respectable number.

I kinda agree with Seece, with this being its first Holiday season, it should come in close to 2.3-2.4M by years end, then with a great possibilty of 3M by next holiday season

VERY VERY disappointing sales compared to what most people & I expected

BUt 2 millions a milestone & they have obviously made tons of profit on it too.

For lifetime I would see it doing 2.5 - 3 Million



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Yes I agree. As so many others have noticed, while there was always someone accompanying the protagonist, it was puzzling why they didn't add at least an online co-op.

However I am sure all those minor issues will be resolved in next iteration.

Also its important to notice that the killzone world is nicely setup for some very engaging and revealing storylines. Its critical that they add a good story in the next edition, preferably something revealing the helghan side (Hig campaign?)

I don't care if they use the same engine, its fantastic anyways.

lol, I hope all of you who are disappointed in kz2s sales at least bought a copy. If you hype something you dont even consider worth a purchase, you're bound to be disappointed

Hopefully they are making money on this game. I think that's what matters. Killzone 3 will probably cost a lot less to make, and will any luck, be a better game.

Should be more, but 2 millions is also a good number.

2.5 millions LTD, is this a joke? KZ2 is selling around 20k per week and next 10 weeks it`s going to sell minimum another 200k. But with Christmas bump, it will easy sell 400k. Though, i expect 3 mln.+ only by the end of 2010 and LTD around 4-5 mln. atleast. It will take some time before reaching 4 mln., but 3 mln. is out of question.
