Maybe lots of FPS coming out has blunted KZ2 sales. Why buy any FPS other than MW2 or BL. Any multiple console owner could have also starting cutting it's life short with OSDT, L4D etc. That is where the media attention is atm. It's a very saturated genre. How many 3 or 4 million selling FPS can there possibly be in a given year?

It's still full priced at $59.99, not 69.99. It really should be a greatest hits by now though....

Resistance 2 may have slightly better legs, but it'll never catch up to Killzone's total sales.

I don't know what's up with the original Resistance though.  I guess it's doing well because it's so cheap now.  It's outselling both Killzone 2 and Resistance 2, but the latter are both still $60.

I'm hoping this is just a fluke, though.  Maybe Killzone 2 will pick up steam on word of Killzone 3.  Uncharted's sales improved remarkably around Uncharted 2's release, and that was one of the few periods of time when Uncharted wasn't bundled.  Of course even now the game is showing great sales, because of the new DS3 bundles for $59.99 USD.

At the very worst Sony can start bundling Killzone 2 like mad, whether it's with PS3s or DS3s.    Get the game in more people's homes, and at least a few should like it and come back for the third.  If nothing else it'd be a nice showcase title for a new ps3 owner.

I get the feeling that was Microsoft's strategy with Forza.  They bundled Forza 2 like mad, and Forza 3 is selling far better than either Forza 1 or 2.  It helped spur awareness of the brand.

You're part of the problem.  ;_;

cant you guys in america import in from the uk?

Like i said, HMV online sells it for just £14.99. That is ludicrously cheap for a quality game!

Most of the times game priices are dropped when a game has run its course.  Then again it can be an attempt to make some sells.  I don't get why these games have ot be $60 for long.  It seem as though it takes forever to drop the price.  Even with Killzone 2 the game is still at its original price. 

If only the game had more substance on the single player and had more to the online component.

Games are made to make money through sales, it's blatantly obvious that both GG and Sony would want it to sell more.

I don't understand why you highlighted that sentence in my post, it has no relevance to your post at all in reference to mine.  My point is it was reasonable to compare both games, yours is some off the wall remark with no relevance to the debate.

You're right that COD doesn't have a fixed class system like Killzone 2, instead it is has a huge customisable class system that allows you to hone them to your style of play.  I don't see this as a facepalm issue at all besides some childish method of trying to get a rise from a poster through your inability to retort to the validity of my posts. 

If you're so naive to think that games aren't made to sell to the biggest audience they can and hence make the most money then frankly sir you're in complete and utter denial and perhaps you should weep in a corner somewhere.  If you want games based on vision with little thought made to financial success then stick to the Indie market.

Like to add something, It seems that Uncharted 2 is making people buy the Uncharted 1 (new PS3 users and those people who first bought Uncharted 2). Of course there's the bundle but Sony timed it well to release the greatest hit version for Uncharted 1. I think lot of people are urged to buy the first one bec. they enjoyed the 2nd one.

I think its tracking error, even Resistance 1 outsold it in NA last week.
