[QUOTE="Jamex1987"]Killzone 2 didn't perform too well. What a shame.Jamex1987

it sold 323k in 2 DAYS. The sequal to one of the most notorius and most bashed game of all time. The sequal ot an epic flop sold 323k in 2 DAYS.

With all the hype one would think it would do better. At least a million on day one.

do u even know killzone's pedigree, it more then just the underdog, and for it to pull those kind of numbers is amazing, but once again it the victim of it own name. The interwebz doesn't represent reality. there is literally millions of gamers and casual that don't spend their time on gaming forums and probably don't know anything about killzone hype. People need to stop attaching outrageous expat ions onto killzone and accept it for what its is; a great game that doesn't need to sell millions to be accpeted as a great game. But sadly it killzone and if it doesn't sell as great as Halo or other great FPS it not worth mentioning.

Since KZ2 outsold Halo1 in sales over few days i believe it's safe to call KZ2 a Halo killer.

ps3 has more awsome games that's a fact... yes I used that word. It's funny to me how you defend the fad that is the wii then turn around and bash the ps3 lol; I find it funny how cocky sheep have gotten this gen, but hey this is sw lol

Already a little over amillion sold if you combine the Americas and Europe. Tracking pretty similar to both Call of Dutys on PS3.

If K2 only sells 1.5m, who does that benefit besides fanboys on gamespot??? Sony and GG STILL lose money because it cost over 60m to make, not counting advertisement, retail, and shipping costs. The will need to sell AT LEAST 3.5m to make a profit.

You dont know that. You dont work for GG or Sony so you dont know how much it truly cost.

If it really cost $60 million, selling 1.5 million would roughly break even...

You do realized it was hyped for 4 years, right? I'm pretty sure stuff like that should be taken into account.

what, on system wars and a just a few other gaming sites, which only gamers who already know about the game and have probably already bought it visited? yea, nice logic.

lol how in the world is that my logic? It's common knowledge dude. yea, nice retort ;).

I'm not sure you can call the Wii a fad at this point, as its sales have been consistently blowing the other two consoles out of the water, and show no signs of stopping.

You know something is wrong with Wii Fit getting the top spot 7 months in a row. You watch Madworld will be shafted aside and all Wii owners are just gonna buy Wii Fit and nothing else.

Give it a couple of months. Wii games usually sell better over a longer period of time. It would not surprise me if it sold a million units worldwide.

We will see but given past 3rd party games on the Wii, they have not broken a million despite a 40+ million userbase.

Which specific 3rd party games are you talking about? And which 3rd party games have deserved to sell over a million? There are quite a few million selling 3rd party games though.

[QUOTE="Zhengi"] So are you saying the Wii has no awesome games?Zhengi

compared to the 360 and the ps3 the Wii is lacking, but games are an arms race, and maybe on day the Wii will have an awesome game beside Mario Galaxy.

It does have awesome games besides SMG. MP3, Brawl, No More Heroes, HOTD, Mad World, etc. And what's this imaginary arms race you are talking about? I feel like I dropped back into the 1980s when the US and the Soviet Union were in an arms race and Michael J Fox took the Delorean Back to the Future.

thats 6 games u listed..have u even looked at the 360 or ps3 offering. in term of games the Wii is completely outclassed by the 360/ps3.

no, halo 3 broke the world record for fastest selling peice of entertainment in history (it raked in 84 million pounds in 24 hours) and has also reached 1billion matches played, it sold more copies than killxone 2 has in 8 hours (1.8 million) so try again

why does that matter you're still a sheep, I haven't met a gamer that is a manticore and prefers a wii only sheep would say that. The fact is the pc, 360, and ps3 all have better games than the wii as they all have overall better libreries of games than the "FaD"

no, no its not :? you were trying to counter the fact that killzone 2 does not have the enormous fan base after killzone 1 that halo 3 had by saying that KZ2 was hyped for 4 years. my retort fit the situation perfectly and countered it logically, so i have no idea how you are trying to defend yourself here.

Better games is a matter of opinion. I enjoy many different kinds of games and so far, the Wii has been my favorite console this gen. The DS is my favorite system at the moment though because of all the JRPGs. I am looking forward to picking up Rune Factory Frontier and Little King's Story for the Wii. Those are two of my most anticipated games this year :)

Square should've made it multiplat. You can't deny there's some sort of bias with them this gen. :P

Yeah no kidding, that game has completely dropped off the radar. No where to be found on the charts.

So did Resistance 2 and LBP. Where either of these games even on the chart. Star Ocean IV sold very well in Japan actually. It probably sell better then Disgaea 3 and Valkyria Chronicles did on the PS3 overall. Most of the XBox 360 JRPG's sold better then those games and the PS3 is suppose to be the definitive JRPG console.

Star Ocean is no more high profile then Disgaea. It's not like we're comparing FF or Dragon Quest to those games. RPG's are RPG's. So stop trying to damage control. Star Ocean was never a big selling game. The PS2 game is the only one that really sold well. The 360 version is actually selling very well compared to the other versions that were released previous.

i would have thought that the ps3 would outsell the 360 because of sf4 and killzone 2. i thought more people would buy the ps3 version of sf4 because of the superior dpad and free online, plus it had killzone2 the most hyped game so far this year. i guess not, sony needs a price drop again

Actually a lot of people did buy the PS3 version. The PS3 version sold almost as many copies as the XBox 360 version even though there are twice the amount of Xbox 360 sold in America. If both systems had even hardware sales the PS3 version would have easily have outsold the XBox 360 version. The PS3 D-Pad is definitely better. Pretty much everyone knows this. I picked up the FightStick from MadCatz instead and bought the Xbox 360 version. The game is incredible.,

Since when was the PS3 the definitive JRPG console? Lemmings have been saying for months how the 360 is the JRPG king.

Since when was the PS3 the definitive JRPG console? Lemmings have been saying for months how the 360 is the JRPG king.

The answer is neither.The JRPG king is the DS.

Here is recap from history !

Song : The Metal by Tenacious D.
This is also in Guitar Hero III.

(Nintendo version)

You can't kill Nintendo
Nintendo will live on
Sega tried to kill Nintendo
But they failed, as they were smite to the ground
SNK tried to kill Nintendo But they failed, as they were stricken down to the ground
Atari tried to kill Nintendo Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha They failed, as they were thrown to the ground

No-one can destroy Nintendo
Nintendo will strike you down with a vicious blow
We are the vanquished foes of Nintendo
We tried to win for why we do not know

SNK tried to destroy Nintendo, but Nintendo had its way
Atari then tried to dethrone Nintendo, but Nintendo was in the way
Sega tried to destroy Nintendo, but Nintendo was much too strong
Sony tried to defile Nintendo, but Sony was proven wrong Yea!

Nintendo!
It comes from hell!

i would have thought that the ps3 would outsell the 360 because of sf4 and killzone 2. i thought more people would buy the ps3 version of sf4 because of the superior dpad and free online, plus it had killzone2 the most hyped game so far this year. i guess not, sony needs a price drop again

XanderZane
Actually a lot of people did buy the PS3 version. The PS3 version sold almost as many copies as the XBox 360 version even though there are twice the amount of Xbox 360 sold in America. If both systems had even hardware sales the PS3 version would have easily have outsold the XBox 360 version. The PS3 D-Pad is definitely better. Pretty much everyone knows this. I picked up the FightStick from MadCatz instead and bought the Xbox 360 version. The game is incredible.,

since the ps3 had sf4 and killzone2 i thought the ps3 would outsell the 360, guess not

Lets see most of its better RPGs are remakes from the SNES, but of course you have your original games such as Suikoden and your standard Pokemon.

Pretty solid Street Fighter IV sales -- good for Capcom. More money to go towards Dead Rising 2 and Lost Planet 2. :P

Are you camparing high profile jrpgs against srpgs :?
at least compare those with wkc

Star Ocean is no more high profile then Disgaea. It's not like we're comparing FF or Dragon Quest to those games. RPG's are RPG's. So stop trying to damage control. Star Ocean was never a big selling game. The PS2 game is the only one that really sold well. The 360 version is actually selling very well compared to the other versions that were released previous.

I'm just trying to point out that the DS is the JRPG king, but it got that way due to a lot of old classic remakes.

So much for KZ2 being a system seller... Or the fact that KZ2 didn't sell at the hype level on this forum.
