apana said:lol this is turning into some kind of freaking religion now. You can still play hardcore games on 360, it has almost all of them and with a normal controller. I'm playing Mass Effect right now, it seems to be working properly.
Paracelsus said:In my view, not even if Kinect was a Sony idea it would have worked like it did with X360.

fernoca said:Killzone 2 did 323,000 two yars ago in aroudn 3 days.
Some are acting as if they were expecting Killzone 3 to do a million.
PS3 first party-sequel releases, so far has followed similar trends (first games does normal number, second one does similar or slightly better numbers then disappear the following NPD chart: Look at Little Big planet 2 and Uncharted 2 compared to the first games).
So that puts Killzone 3 at around 320-350k units.
Carl said:Not really. I've never noticed a tiny bit of different between a 30fps game and a 60fps game. Not everyone notices these things.

Chrange said:Exactly. Would people say "hey, pretty good sales" if a major Halo launch landed near the bottom of the next month's NPD charts? Tentpole franchises that sell 'pretty good' are going to get that 'bomb' tag, because they're not put out expecting 'pretty good' sales.
ItWasMeantToBe19 said:But they don't seem to be trying. They're making sequels to games in saturated genres that barely broke a million units worldwide and didn't affect PS3 hardware sales.
I just savour the mad hype this franchise has had overall and the end results are just bombzone. However, I do not look forward to mad hype about "killzone tech will be applied to a new genre which will rock Ur NutZ". . . ugh I can see it now.V_Ben said:I think Sony need to have a good hard look at Killzone, and whether that is a franchise they want to stick with.
Isn't "bu-but Yurop!" still the ace in the hole? Or is that just a meme now.Monty Mole said:I remember all those articles in 2008 about how the 360 had already peaked and that PS3 was poised to take the crown from the Wii in the long-run.

onipex said:Well I didn't see the Wii selling that well this month. I wonder if Just Dance is starting to sell systems.

The_Technomancer said:Hm, de Blob 2 only had six days. I do wish they had released earlier in the month, going multiplat may have squeezed them in at 10 or 9, and it will probably fly under next months charts as well.
Leondexter said:Killzone isn't Halo. That's clear now, but it should've been crystal-clear a month ago, too. If Splinter Cell or Fable landed near the bottom of the top 10 (which isn't "the bottom of the NPD charts, by the way), I would nope no one would be fazed by that. And they shouldn't be fazed by this, either.

That's what I said.user_nat said:Uncharted 2 sold far better than Uncharted 1. First month in particular.

Dedication Through Light said:I think their focus is on profitability versus being multimillion sellers in month 1. As what seems to be the case with most PS3 games they just sell steadily over time. I think people are still just a bit queazy over the price of the PS3 regardless of the amount of videogame software and koala tea available.
schennmu said:KZ3 bomba, didn't expect that either.
szaromir said:At least COD doesn't control like shit.
Kusagari said:The last two Fable's debuted at the top of the charts with over 500k in sales so yes I would be fazed by that.
Watchtower said:Why does it matter? If the game's that freaking good, who cares? Let COD continue, let's just hope others stop trying to copy its success and just put out something different.
fernoca said:That's what I said.
Then it disappeared the next NPD chart from the Top 20. And that was during NPDs that didn't combined sales.

Leondexter said:Like what? Call of Duty Kinect? Bring it on.
Why For? said:Killzone 3 did worse BECAUSE of the second game.
You could say it probably hasn't bombed vs it's predecessor... but why judge it differently to any other game? Killzone 2 sold an average amount at best, equalling (or beating those sales slightly) doesn't make Killzone 3 a success suddenly.lowrider007 said:Tell me how has it bombed?, are you comparing it to KZ2 sales?, did you expect it to get in the top 5 of a combined platform chart? since when was Killzone held in such high esteem in terms of it's sales?
Kuroyume said:That's retarded. In that case KZ2 should have sold 0 copies.
upJTboogie said:This Killzone 3 bombed stuff it pretty funny to see.
Just because the game is big on the forums doesn't mean it's such a big franchise in the staes, it charted top 10 and people are calling it a bomb without even seeing the actual software sales.
ItWasMeantToBe19 said:It never broke the top 500 on any platform on Amazon.
I know it's not that accurate, but that suggests complete and total bomb.
poppabk said:I guess the 'hardcore' didn't know or care who Infinity Ward were after all.
