Killzone 3 sales are disappointing. KZ2's launch may outsell (link)

Nothing against that games themselves (theyre usually great nowadays), but ps3 exclusives dont really sell that well

hmmm, I wasn't really feelin the massive hype for some reason. MvC3 along with bulletstorm may have had something to do with it

Yea that seems to be the mindframe of some people. It doesint need to sell millions upon millions to do well.

[QUOTE="DreamCryotank"]

Because Killzone 2 was a mediocre COD clone with pretty graphics. PS3 owners were in denial and praised it to high heavens, but they've experienced the dreary experience of Killzone 2 once before and thought, "I like good games?". Just a guess.

soulitane

Im guessing hes just another KZ or ps3 hatter.

again the game just came outand over 500 thousand is bad?for an exclusive thats a good start.....

i think people compare the exclusive release sales with cod a little too much :roll:

i dont believe in that report. ill wait for more credible sources like sony or gg. come back to me in 2012 when killzone3 sales are like 5+ milli

It's already been reported, though, that it bombed in the UK, not even being able to top its predecessor. It only was the 14th best-selling PS3 title in its first week of availability. And that's actually saying much, since PS3 games tend to sell pretty bad as we know it. :?

Well, that's not saying much...

Killzone 3 debuting with such atrocious sales must be terrible news for GG. They may even quit gaming as a result, as we know it today.

Its happend to other good games. thats just sadly the way it is. Thats why the mindset should never better sales equel a better game

I expected more than that from a overhyped shooter.

The game's not for everyone. Still, GG could be laughing their asses out for having the best graphics on consoles beating the overrated Crysis 2.Bazooka_4ME

Yeah, I don't really think they care, since it's a flop in sales. :(

Also, Crysis 2 on consoles looks far better than KZ3.

The only thing KZ3 has got over Crysis is artistic graphics.

I agree with you on this one.

PS3 kids being overly happy about their hotly anticipated sequel, Killzone 3, outselling a new IP with no hype whatsoever, just tells us how bad their high-profile games are actually selling. :? I would never be happy about Halo or CoD outselling a game of no significance at all, like Bulletstorm...

Nope, Crysis 2 has already been unmasked. It's been consolized. It's a shame that it was the graphical game lemmings were hoping for to overthrow the PS3 for having the best graphics on any consoles (or systems).Bazooka_4ME

That game is still Gears 3, an actual exclusive. And the PC is a system.

Crysis 2 is a lot more impressive than KZ3, talking about technical graphics. You can deny it all you want, but it won't change that fact. :)

But yeah, since Killzone 3 has essentially flopped in both sales and scores, I guess all cows will have left to talk about, is how it's the most graphically impressive exclusive on the PS3. :D

Oh, I never take VGChartz seriously, I was referring to this news. That's official.

And KZ3 is making Crysis 2 on PC a run for its money. Wonder why PS3 games are getting graphical achievements for the past years? Because they are visually stunning running on a 5 yr old harware. I think everybody knows that if GOW3, UC2, or KZ2 were to be modded and played on higher setting, it could Crysis to shame. Bazooka_4ME

So one game? You're just gonna ignore the original Crysis, Metro 2033, etc, and limit the PC to just one game to make the PS3 look good? You just said "Crysis 2 is consolized" and now you're using it as an example?

1. KZ3 is not making Crysis 2 on the PC a run for its money. It's not even close. :? Crysis 2 puts it to shame in both graphics, gameplay and soon-to-be sales.

2. If developers like GG still want to focus on graphics, their games will continue to flop and sell terribly. It's their decision. :) Do they want to be successful, or not?

Well no duh its going to have a chance tosell more it has more avenues to make money ala PS3,360 and PC. Again if KZ3 was only about graphics it would have been accepted much worse. The gameplay is tight and solid. Just cause a game doesint sell well doesint mean its bad.

Crysis 2 doesn't just top KZ3, it destroys it... on consoles.

A flop in scores. A flop in sales. Man, GG and Sony kids must be unhappy. You pretend to think that you're satisfied with the graphics, but you'd so much want a top-seller that scores high. :)

But yeah, when you get embarrassed in scores... and sales, retreat to game game's graphics (which are still beaten by Crysis 2 on consoles).

I think Metro 2033 has better graphics than Crysis. The thing I don't get though is if Crytek are such marvels in their craft, how come they couldn't do this on all systems? If GOW3, UC2, KZ2 were developed on PCs, you really think it'll look as good (or better) than Crysis?Bazooka_4ME

Maybe they would, maybe they wouldn't. What's that got to do with Killzone's sales? Sony has talented first party developers, we know that.

It's even worse! Let's not even being to talk about other FPS franchises on the PS3, when the best-selling one, Killzone, flops in scores and doesn't do good in sales.

Let's be honest to each other. If it weren't for Killzone 3's pretty graphics, the game would have scored 7.5, max.

Oh give me a break dude. If the game just had graphics and nothing elsthe scores and geniral reception would show it. KZ2&3 are some of the best FPS iv played this gen. I dont like halo all that much but I still give it props for tight and solid gameplay. I guess some people cant give props even though they dont like the product all that much.

whats funny is cows saying KZ3 has better graphics over a few Crysis 2 multiplayer maps and pictures lol. i mean, the game isnt even out yet and it already lost huh? cows love trying to dictate what is or isnt on here and pass their group mentality as the truth of system wars lol.

how about this...how about uncluding others in the decision for graphic kings lol? because its getting old having cows TELLING us which games are graphic kings then talking to us like we're fools when we disagree. this is a community of gamers...cows, lems, sheeps, and hermits....how about including us. especially since your platform has the least units sold.
