NPD: MARCH - Keep it here

Jebus, only 296k for KZ2? Wel...thats respectable I guess, no where near the amount I thought though. :?killerfist

Definitely, definitely not the "system seller' cows hyped it to be

Well, there is no way to know if they are happy with those profits, maybe they expected far better

obamanian

And there's no way to tell they're not happy. :|

[QUOTE="IronBass"]Biggest disapointment is GTA:CW, no doubt. Only 90 000 is sad. If it had had the massive campaign of other GTAs...The_Game21x

Me too. But, as it has been said before, DS games tend to sell for a VERY long time.

I'm pretty sure it will sell well.

I dunno what I expected TBH.

I hate, hate to use SW as a gauge, but I guess I expected RE5-like sales for KZ2 because of the non-stop hype for it.

Actually was also hyped to be the end of all gaming, bring the end of 360, make PS3 sell 10x more than 360, be the end of all graphics (when in fact is one of the most limited visually games i have seen this generation, especially the textures and level sizes are laughable) etc etc

If only they supported those claims and opinions with actrually buying the game !!!!

The Wii's dominance sale-wise is amazing. It's also impressive that the sales of the 360 equal the sales of the PS3 and the PS2 put together. Resi 5's sales are great, although not surprising.

Wow POS3 is such a failure... Cows: "buh bu buh KILLZONE 2 is a system seller :?"

boarderk15

I have a question for every one in this thread and I know i'll get alot of fanboy answers. I admit I thought KZ2 would sell more, and I undoubtedly accept that I am wrong. But Since when does sales of a game control quality?

Animal-Mother

not sure who is trying to draw that comparison, but this is a sales thread....

I want to buy GTA CW, but I rarely play my DS Lite.

Crysis - huge scale, detail (forests)- dynamic volumetric lighting

Fable 2 - big scale, detail (forests) - dynamic volumetric lighting

Killzone 2 -small scale, not anything likeforests - not dynamic faked volumetric lighting

Now, in your opinion, why would i compare KZ2 to Crysis, when Fable 2 is 100x closer to Crysis specs ???????????????

Why do sales matter when it comes to 360 vs ps3 but they don't matter when wii is added to the equation?

*sigh* fanboys.

a "true" gamer doesn't care about sales. True gamers play games. Not sales. If sales mattered, Wii is the greatest system to ever grace the gaming community. Toyota Camery owns Ferrari. And Halo is the greatest FPS ever.

This whole "sales war" we got going on here is pathetic. Seriously.

yet you have hyped all those years Fable 2 like the best thing since slide bread and: 1) it flopped 2) didn't kill the competition eitherGiancar

1.

Fable 2 flopped with 2.7 million sales and 30+ AAAA reviews, 80+ AAA reviews ??????

Sure thing, how about the FACT that is the most successfull WRPGon 360? And with the most GOTY nominations too (Joystiq, X-Play, G4Tv, BAFTA and 20+ other nominations and awards)

2.It never had a competition to start with, there is nothing like it on PS3 or Wii, and never will be

Note: Not defending the Xbox 360 fan, just trying to show that usin gaming press sites as evidence to prove game x is graphically superior is a horrible way to make a point considering the vast majority of sites said MGS4, Gears of War 2 ect. had the "bets graphics" over Crysis Warhead. Not very credible. At all.

No, because Crysis is an FPS you know what a point of view is. Didnt Fable flop. Wasn't I supposed to go into other peoples worlds and make them burn. Wasn't I supposed to do ANYTHING? Then why compare Killzone to fable when it's closer to crysis? Why pick on Killzone 2 and not compare it to lets say halo or left 4 dead? Or anything else. Your comparing Candy and Meat as always. Two completely different things that have absolutely NO correlation with each otherAnimal-Mother

Simple, i never compare something first, i only answer to posts that suggest KZ2 is the best looking console title

When someone posts that, he means better than ALL (including Fable 2 of course) games, so as you can see PS3 people here compare KZ2 to Fable 2 in 10.000 threads so far, that talk about KZ2 "superiority" over all things on any console, again including Fable 2

I have not seen a single big level in KZ2, and the lighting is not anywhere as dynamic as Fable 2 dynamic shadowed light beams

Maybe i missed a secret level in the game that rivals Fable 2 visually ? I played to the end boss, and found none

Edit and link me to these 10,0000 thread that Cows say KZ2 is better looking than fable 2

Stop it.

You're around SW enough to know that KZ2 washyped to hell & back. I'm not taking obamanian's side, but to deny KZ2 has hyped like crazy is just being dishonest.....and you know it.

I dunno what I expected TBH.

I hate, hate to use SW as a gauge, but I guess I expected RE5-like sales for KZ2 because of the non-stop hype for it.

killerfist

I guess I expected at least 1M sales in the US alone.

I am sure you will now try to discredit all those sites ones by one, good luck

obamanian

Yeah I did. We use gamespot here buddy, It flopped I dont care how it did anywhere else

Nope, gamespot flopped, like it did with Mass Effect too, they just give the best games low and the worst games high, that is standard for gamespot

I don't bash Gamespot, just saying. After all every PAID site gives huge scores to hyped games (read Halo 3, Gears, KZ, MGS4) and even the slightest problem brings 100x better and depper and more huge games scores down by 2-3/10, while any problem of the big name games is totally overlooked

Keep your fans and supporters happy is what happens

[QUOTE="Mr_Apple_Soup"]

oh yeah, because when i want to buy a game the first site i check is maxim.com...

fable flopped on gamestop AND on metacritic

but basically youre saying that random blogs are more credible then paid reviewers...:?

obamanian

Nope, each of those is a perfectly valid, 100% counting review

Every review is an opinion afterall, why are some better than others ? Because that serves your purpose ?

it doesnt make the opinion better, it makes it more credible. it would make sense to trust someone who plays video games for a living then some random guy who plays casualy and will potentially over or underrate the game for a stupid reason.

im not going to trusts halofan123 11/10 review of halo 4 or yahoo games 9.8 rating of CoD6 over gamestop or ign's review of it. if fable 2 got a 9 here and a 9 across the boards at other paid reviewing sites, but 6s on blogs and random magizines, you wouldnt be posting the 6s right now, so lets not talk about better serving a purpose

im not saying fable was a bad game, im just saying it flopped here and that when all the reviews for it were polled on meta, it still flopped

AA = great, just for the record...

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"]Show us these 30+AAAA reviews, and their all from credible sites right? Ohh and Fable was hyped 9.5 wasnt it or 9.0 It got an 8.5 here right? On Gamespot where we post, where it matters the most.Animal-Mother

Do you consider a site full of advertisements of a product credible when it gives a score ?

Anyway, here

Face it Fable scored great and KZ2 will probably never get the sales Fable got.
