I just looked at last weeks game sales and I saw that COD:WAW sold over 800k in its first week. Resistance 2 in over 2 weeks has yet to even sell 400k. This is isn't very good for resistance fans as it appears that COD has become the premiere FPS on the PS3 and it isn't very likely R2 will catch up to COD anytime soon. I really saw this coming with all the sucess COD 4 had, I remember when that came out it took away most people from Fall of man. It is really too bad because Resistance 2 really has all the potential of being the PS3's most popular game but it looks like that might not ever happen...

Is that for PS3 only?  What region?  US only?

COD has a bigger fan base, so this doesn't surprise me ..

I dont want to admit it but... im sort of dissapointed in R2, the mere fact that they took out the 2 player co-op story mode replacing with a mediocre online co-op fails for me

It's because Resistance is not nearly as mainstream as the COD games. After COD4, people would buy COD: Dog Crap.

Who's fault is that? It's their flagship title ATM (If it's not please tell me what is), and it's moving sub 400k at holiday season? I'm sure it will pick up when the other territories release it.

well according to vgchartz cod:waw for the ps3 has sold approx. 450k while resistance 2 has sold approx 350k in NA. the other half of call of duty's sells you speak of are in the territories where resistance 2 is not yet released. that would be the problem :P

Their Both North American Sales, which is fair enough. But Honestly COD5 vs R2, COD4 was just remarkable so people are gonna buy it no matter what. R2 has done a good job so far.

well COD:WaW is a much better game than R2, so its pretty just.

R2 is really only loved (apparently only in gaming forums) because its an exclusive. Most gamers dont give a crap whether a game is exclusive or not, just what game they'll enjoy more.

your opinion.

 

The reason is R2 is exclusive, WaW is multi plat and R2 doesn't come out until the 28th for the rest of the world.

I think you're in the minority. Campaign co-op from R:FoM is still fun to this day, but R2 is a huge leap. I can't wait to see how they expand the concept in the long-term.

Well... COD4 was definately more popular than R:FOM, and R2 is on one platform, while COD: WAW is stretched over 4 platforms... It isn't really a wonder.

Good...It makes sense since WaW is twice the game that R2 is.

I am not surprised WAW is a sequel to one of the best FPS to hit consoles. I think R2 sales will see a huge jump when it is released in the other territories. I also think that some just haven't caught on to how good the online modes really are.

Not only is Call of Duty: World at War the successor of the infamous Call of Duty 4, but we all know that online has become the future in gaming. From what I've seen and experienced, Call of Duty 4's online had millions of people playing (addictingly and casually). Resistance series has never been known for their online play.. so obviously COD is going to take the crown in sales.. not to mention, it's multiplatform. R2 may pick up in sales, but by that time, COD:WAW's sales will just compound, and sell even more. It's inevitable.

like everyone else is saying,CoD has a series with plenty of games out there, so they of course have a bigger fan base, most of those sales are (most likly) fanboys of the CoD series, and like...someone said theyd buy CoD:Dog Crap....R2 is only on its second game, so it's less known, just give it awhile and I'm sure R2 will eventually pass CoD:WaW sale number

COD5 really is that good though. I was the biggest skeptic out there, and was throughly surprised. It's my second favorite game of the year, behind MGS4.
