Killzone 2 sales hit platinum

It looks like Sony has some good news to share with us. The boys and girls over at Sony HQ just issued a press release announcing that Killzone 2 has reached the million sold milestone.

According to press release, Sony is quite pleased with the game's success and believes it will drive further hardware adoption.

"Following the revelation that Killzone 2 became the fastest SCEA title on PS3 to reach 500K sold, Sony today revealed that the critically acclaimed first-person shooter from Guerilla Games has sold over one million copies worldwide. The company pointed to the game as another example of an 'only on PlayStation experience," and noted that it will "continue to drive incentive for hardware sales throughout the year.'"

the article also boasts strong PS2 sales.

I agree that the sales are fairly decent, but seriously when there are 7 million ps3 owners in NA the sales should have been much, much higer as it is probably The flagship game of Sony

It was never hyped to be a anything killer, let alone a Halo Killer.

Cows don't need to admit anything of that sort.

Killzone1 on PS2 was hyped as a Halo Killer though, by a journalist,and some cows ran away with that...you are a generation late. I already read a ton of cow bashing topics on that one, but they were funny.

OH YES THEY DO! Dont sit there and tell me no PS3 fanboy compared KZ2 to Halo 3. Halo 3 beat KZ2 here, Metacritic, and slaughtered it in comparative sales. We are owed an apology.

No, Killzone 1 was hyped liked that, Cows learned their lesson long before KZ2 was announced.

There are no "Whatever" KILLERS.

Yeah, I pretty much agree and the TREY is my preferred console. I guess the stereotype is true that TREY owners are 30+ and needed a blu-ray player for Spider-Man 3. :|

The term HALO KILLER?

That died with Killzone1 on PS2.

maybe not sales, but they compared gameplay, multiplayer, reviews, and that it would at the very least give PS3 a hardware boost to beat 360 for the month it was released. all their hopes failed and they should all be quiet or apologize.

The sales are bad when compared to other AAA shooters. Alone yes, the sales are good. But start comparing it to other AAA fps and you got a flop.

So does the 360 suck for you lemmings despite it coming last place in Japan? No, you enjoy the console alot despite it coming last place in Japan. Now slowly transfer that logic here to PS3 owners and its American sales. Same effect.

Now bragging about Halo Wars outselling KZ 2, so why not use worldwide sales(the true total sales and not confined to 1 region). KZ 2 outsold Halo Wars in total numbers.

Now for RE5, the PS3 version leads the 360 version if you factor in Japan and European sales.

So why no mention of all that?

No there are some good titles for the 360 coming out this year, but tbh I think the PS3's exclusive lineup is better....More games that interest me, which is good :)

Broaden your view, the whold world is not just USA.

Besides it does not matter where you live, you are still enjoying your 360 no problem even if it came last in Japan, Europe, or Mars for that matter.

NPD is not the end be all view on sales. Sales from Japan, Europe, USA and everywhere else should measure the true success of a game/console sales.

Who says I even look at sales normally? Regardless, the sales for Killzone2 are extremely underwhelming considering the hype surrounding the game. It still hasn't even touched Halo3's ONE DAY sales and we're suppose to consider hitting one million in 2 months something worth noting? Don't make me laugh. The industry has turned into a billion dollar industry and it's not uncommon for games to hit 1million in under a month. :| Here's a cold hard truth that cows can't accept. PS3 exclusives don't sell that well. Heck, multiplatform games sell better on the 360 then the PS3's BIG games.

find me a post before killzone 2 launch where any cows hyped sales of killzone 2 or said it would be a sales phenominon or that it would reach 8 or 9 millioneveryone that hyped that game hyped graphics and how good it will be as a game and it lived up to the hype

no one said it would reach halo numbers but for the numbers it has it's pretty good.

you guys know this is truth but for the sake of well just feeling more powerful and superiority in your systems you use it as pwnage

Huh? I live in the USA and game with USA/Canadian players. Sales in Japan mean nothing to me really (unless I had to have them for MS to make the 360). If I lived in Japan I would probably own a PS3 as my primary gaming system since I would want to game with my friends and have a lot of online players to play with (without a ton of overseas lag). If you live in Japan then you have a good reason to back the PS3, but if you are in USA/Canada then it really doesn't matter (unless you like to import japanese only titles).

umm no it doesn't overall RE5 360 is outselling the ps3 version
