And in come the US KZ2 numbers for April....

Whenever people bring up sales, I say we should bring up Grim Fandango, arguably the best video game of all time.

[QUOTE="3picuri3"] wtf are you talking about. who got paid? and no, it isn't any PR departments job to hype beyond projections and spew BS. it's their job to create hype, not lie about it. thx.KingTuttle

KZ2 turned pretty much into a religion for PS3 fans on the internet. There was also TV commercials. What do you expect a Mountain Dew soda like Halo got? KZ2 is the most hyped FPS shooter ever in playstation history.rybe1025

Guys I'm pretty sure the game is at 2 million for WW sales so far so really don't know why yall are bashing its sales. So it could easily hit the 3-4 million lifetime sales, and that isn't bad for a game coming off of its first game that was hit hard by players and critics.

Every game isn't going to sale like Halo3 or WoW so move along lol, geez what RE5 is at like what 3 million copies for both versions and that franchise has been around since mgs series and is very well known. So I think Sony got out of KZ2 what they were expecting in actuality.

i agree with everything you said except this:

"No, and that's why KZ2 will probably never go near Halo 3's sales"

in all fairness, halo already had a huge following, which in turn spurred insane 1st day sales... kz didnt have a dedicated following

[QUOTE="rybe1025"][QUOTE="Keltoid"] "KZ2 pretty much turned into a religion for PS3 fans on the internet" Yup... on the internet "There was also TV commercials" Yup, I think Sony did a decent job at advertising KZ2. "What do you expect a Mountain Dew Soda like Halo got?" No, and that's why KZ2 will probably never go near Halo 3's sales. "KZ2 is the most hyped FPS shooter ever in playstation history" Yup, and I dont think pushing 2,000,000 in sales in less than a few months is too shabby.Keltoid

Also at this rate it will be lucky to hit 2.5 million. While that is not bad sales it is nothing great.

KZ2 is not like some game from EA spewed out in a year and half. Sony wanted this to be their answer to Halo which it clearly is not. I am not saying a Halo killer but they did want it to be their Halo.

[QUOTE="Nuck81"]Killzone 2 is the second most overhyped game on PS3. I sold it after two weeks. Number 1 is MGS 4. What a travesty of a movie, I mean a game. Sold this after 2 days.clubsammich91

bashing mgs4 is so last year??? why are cows still making threads about Halo3 and Gears then? what only cows are allowed to bash games that are years old on here now to? cows bash every successful/semi-successful game put out on the 360 since its launch...

That's a shame. Its a good game and deserves to sell well, though it didn't live up to the hype for me.

That's not bad. 677,000 total U.S. sales so far, I wonder what the world total is.

I knew there was going to be a drop but I didn't know it was going to drop that low especially for a killer app.

Unfortunate, but true. It definately deserved the sales, for what it was. A fun FPS.

Blu-ray player first, games console second it would seem. Maybe they should ship it with a movie or something.

funny cuz software for the ps3 rose 80 percent last year and multiplats are selling roughly the same WW on the ps3 with the 360, but yea keep clinging to that myth

only 2 multiplat games had close sales and they were RE5, and SF4. So its safe to say multiplats are defintely not selling at an equal pace worldwide.

[QUOTE="KingTuttle"][QUOTE="Nike_Air"]They sold 1.1 million copies of Killzone 2 to retailers in Europe (that we know of). They got paid , that is the fact.

Nike_Air

For the USA? Around 600k.

loco145

I'm thinking more along the lines of total sales, I never actually see total sales for KZ2; only 100k here and 100k there.

Great, less 15 year old noob Halo players to ruin an otherwise great game.
