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.

it took a month thats not anything special at all for a game thats been hyped for 4 years and got 9/10 reviews

and the marketing wasnt badit was actually more advertised then any game i can think of in a long time

[QUOTE="Ninten007"]

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?

kidonre

not by much which is a dissapointment giving 360 has around 7 to 8 million more units sold because of the 1 year head start.

get yourfacts straight the hype was for killzone 2 to get AAA and it did and the graphics and as you can see it's the graphics king the hype was not concerning sales and the sales are pretty good 1 million plus now is very good in fact before killzone 2 was released most lemmings were bragging that halo wars would outsell it because it's got halo on the cover you want flop look at halo wars or ninja blade both games hyped AAAE and both flopped

and their sales are not so stellar as well.

[QUOTE="Lem-Risen"] 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. Lem-Risen

The PS3 fanboys that compared KZ2 to Halo 3 weren't talking about SALES, they were talking Screenshots, etc.

The term HALO KILLER?

That died with Killzone1 on PS2.

Well, any that claimed some sort of massive sales boost were owned.

In all honesty, Sony needs to drop the price if they want more units to sell in this sad economy, but oh well. :)

Actually it is.

PS3-1,653,797

360- 1,498,932

Thats pretty shocking since the 360 has a much higher install base.

It was never a Halo Killer.

Cows don't need to admit anything.

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

There are no "Whatever" KILLERS.

If people in system wars who hyped Killzone 2 to death did not care about sales, they would not be doing so much damage control Just Saying..Little_Big_Dude

we never expected killzone 2 to be a sales phenominum we hyped graphics and the game to be AAAE the only damage control comes from lemmings claiming undeserved ownage

Prove whatever you are saying, from what I can tell, you are lying.

I have been around a long time, and KZ1 was a Halo Killer, KZ2 was not. Fakeboys not withstanding.

Now are you willing to argue that NINJA BLADE was infact a GOD OF WAR KILLER?

NINJA Blade wasn't, same reason.

There are no killers.

KZ2 was compared to many games, including HALO 3. Fanboys attacked Visuals with screens. KZ2 WAS MEGA hyped, as an AAAE, but not as a Halo Killer.

No one is going to claim that all of the sudden a no name non brand recognition game is going to outsell a HUGE Heavily Marketed Brand Like Halo.

Halo got it's foot in the door....but that allowed HALO 2 to be a mega seller, and HALO 3 was unstoppable...the mountain dew, novels, and toys surely helped.

KZ2 is a Brand Restart....like GTA3, or new games like LBP, De Blob, or the original Halo.

KZ2 came out March, not the HOLIDAY season. KZ2 came out during a worldwide economic crisis, on a system with a smaller installed base.

While that's Sony fault, those variables are still in effect.

Gears of War didn't have an established fanbase yet still sold more than 4 million.

Gears of War has also been out for, what, 2 years? How about we give KZ2 the same amount of time and see what happens? It's already got 1 million in a month. 3 more million to go in 23 months. Seems doable...

Well, first of all. That's only part of a picture. The Xbox Brand is recognized for a certain type of game, so KZ2 would have sold better on 360.

Secondly, GeoW didn't have the TAINT of stink on it that KZ2 had from KZ1.

Thirdly, GeoW came out when the economy was good, KZ2 came out during a worldwise economic crisis.

Fourthly, GeoW came out as a HOLIDAY launch title, at a time when the Xbox Brand was starved for games. At the time, Last Gen's HALO 2 was the most played Xbox 360 game! There had been NO 1st party games on the 360 for a whole year, since Launch 2005! It was pure timing.

In contrast, the PS3 owners got Resistance 2, LBP, MLB09:The Show, just in the last few months from KZ2's launch. Remember, HOLIDAY dollars are HUGE. IT's GIFT season!

Fifth, Marketing. GeoW was marketed better, than KZ2.

Are you honestly trying to talk? Fanboys obviously equal the whole mass of Playstation 3 users. Do fanboys have to play the sales card, because competition happens to be near the same quality for their own games? I'm never ceased to be amazed. :lol:

What the...I didn't see this, but I will gladly respond. Okay, yes cows were claimin KZ2 pwns Halo 3 due to looks, but the term Halo Killer wasn't part of that hype.

If you feel KZ2's 1 milliion worldwide sales are pathetic compared to the hype, well, all I can say is don't let hype control your feeling on sales. I think Sony would LOVE for KZ2 to sell better, but my arguement has only to do with the HALO KILLER Line.

That's like saying NINJA BLADE was a GOD OF WAR killer because a few rogue fanboy's/fakeboys had some fun. Same goes for KZ2.

You can bash KZ2, but do it honestly, There are no "Something" Killers.

Oh, thanks man! :)

If Sony wants to do better, fix their marketing and drop the price of the PS3. Whether they can afford to do that is the question.

Also, I just got to level 8 on GeoW2's new ranking system. Sucks, I was a 3-4 star, and now I'm back to square one!

Where did people get the 2 million number?

Lol I bet they are. Companies have to spin things after all.

Seems disappointing considering the length of development and the hype.

Killzone 2 - 1 million worldwide 1 and a half month after launch.

Halo 3 - 1.7 million customer pre-orders 1 day before launch in the U.S.

Killzone 2 selling over 1 million is great seeing as how the the first game was quite poor. However, I cant help but feel confused about the numbers. We know the game has sold over 600k in NA alone. Now, we were also told it had around 1 million pre orders in the EU. Wouldn't that make sales closer to 1.6 million.

I find it hard to believe that KZ2 only sold 400k in Europe. It would be nice to find out how much it has sold over 1 million. From what I've heard I expect sales to be close to 1.5 million. Some clarity would be nice.
