Let alone Halo 2. When Halo 2 launched, one store in the U.S. sold 8,500 copies of the game in 11 minutes! And another store had sold 200,000 copies by daybreak! And there were 7000 stores at midnight for that game. I would believe that Halo 2 sold more in 12 hours than Killzone 2 has done to date, to be honest. And Killzone 2 Hype >>>>>>>>>> Halo 2 Hype.

[QUOTE="mgsfan1189"]

no killzone 2 did it before worldwide sales which is quite a disapointment for a game with the name HALO on it with the name Halo it should have reached 4 to 5 million by now.

mgsfan1189

lol, NO, it did not. Sony reported YESTERDAY Killzone 2 did. HW did long time ago.

I agree it's hard to accept an unknown RTS on consoles outsell a HOT FPS on consoles, but in this situation, we have to.

sorry the report yestrday just said it passed a million meaning it has more than a million and that rts is HALO by the name alone it should sell millions.

face it it's a dissapointment halo wars should have sold 4 to 5 millions by now just by it's name alone.

this means the halo franchise is losing steam that unstopable train has lost some wheels.

lol, you're clearly talking something you don't know. come on, Sony said Killzone 2 had sold more than 1M yesterday, which most likely means passed. Would the have passed it earlier, sont would have reported to us.

[QUOTE="megapikachu101"]

sicne when did SSBB have bad sales?

Ninten007

It does not have bad sales. You missed the whole point.

Say of WiiSports/WiiFit have much higher sales than Brawl correct? Does that mean WiiSports/WiiFit are much better games and deliever a more robust gaming experience than Brawl? That is the point.

Besided you cant control how many people are buying WiiFit. On this board it sounds like WiiFit is the worst selling game ever but in the actual world it is one of the highest ones.

Well, we can't blame Wii Fit sales - training is something that people are interested in. Wii Sports was bundled.

SSBB did not have bad sales. It sold 1.4 million first week in US. That's more than Killzone 2's sales thus far

So? Halo 2 topped 2 million in 1 day. And that was on a console with 25 million sales.

This is GTA. GTA is far, far bigger than Halo. And this is on a console that has sold 100 million. Dude, it's a flop. Relax. Calm down... :cry:

In 2004, 1700 stores in the U.S. sold more than 500k copies of Halo 2 in its first day.

Keltoid

Are you seriously comparing a brand new franchise to a sequel to one of the biggest games of all time? These Halo comparisons are getting tiresome. It's one thing to compare KZ2 to Halo, but not Mad World.

CE is now one of the biggest games ever? What the **** When Halo 2 released, CE had only sold approximately 5 million copies. It's funny that an "absolutely terrible game", as one dude described Halo 2, sold more than 2 million in USA in 1 day with over 7000 stores having a midnight launch on a console that has barely broken 25 million thus far, and this anticipated Madworld only sells 66,000 in its entire month on a console that has broken the 50-million mark.

[QUOTE="-Traveller-"] Halo actually isn't all that exciting. By the time I got to Halo 3, I was playing through mostly for nostalgia and to finish the story.-Traveller-

Cool for you, but it DOES NOT change what I said, and that's a fact. Mostly, those who say that Halo sucks are just jealous cows that cannot play the game. Same like last generation, hose who said Halo 2 sucked were the ones that only had PS2 and were not allowed to play most anticipated game of 2004. SORRY-

Or they just don't like the game, as it's their opinion and all. Halo 2 did suck last generation, it's by far the worst in the series IMHO.

Or that's just a myth that PS2 always said, those jealous PS2 owners? lol
