Chris Redfield punched enough boulders to make it to the top!

 

[Grecco]

People are really surprised of HW > KZ2?

Do people know the term 'Halo'?

Joking right?

 

[JudgeN]

People didn't think KZ2 was going to even show in the top 10 this month, why are people calling KZ2 numbers bad its the best selling Sony first party game so far.

 

[Dabanton]

Inferior games sell better. AWESOME!

Their all good games.

 

[Wizman23]

Lol at KZ2. Like I said no one will be playing this game online in 2 months.

 

[jett]

Killzone 2 bombed, eh? I thought this one was a fairly safe bet for a hit, but I guess that's what abysmal advertising and an expensive system gets you. Seriously, whoever was in charge of advertising, or decided that advertising was the right thing to go budget sensitive on, should be fired.

It's at 600k ltd. I think it's doing fine.

 

[Darklord]

God, those PS3 numbers are pathetic. 360 still holds it ground though.

Wow at RE5 numbers too but who honestly thought KZ2 was going to be a mega seller? The first one was shit, it's not like Halo 2. 95% of the hype of that game was on forums.

That goes for Madworld too. That was never going to be a big seller.

 

[Frencherman]

No Street Fighter IV?
No MadWorld?
No GTA: Chinatown Wars?

Uh oh.

Yepp, this is the Month of Fail for the praised Nintendo Core-Audience.

For me the DS has officially failed as an credible plattform for quality 3rd-Party Products...

 

[Raptor2155]

Wow, Re5 sold about 1.5 mil.

 

[joey_z]

Inferior games sell better. AWESOME!

:lol :lol

Teh tears!

Does Sony even care to make any money this generation? Though I guess they are stuck in a Catch-22 situation. Cut costs and stand to lose more money with little promise of sufficient increase in sales or keep current price and minimize loss but forego any promise of increased sales.

 

[VALIS]

So it HW > KZ2 is the US now? What did KZ2 do last month, 300k?

As I said earlier, yes, Halo Wars in March outsold the KZ2 sales of Feb/March combined.

360 also the only console not down YoY.

 

[Nemo]

I love Capcom. Great to see how they're games sell. Keep on making the games we all love!

 

[Eteric Rice]

Their all good games.

They're.

:lol

Nice way of making a bad situation look even worse.

 

[MiamiWesker]

WOOOOOOO!!!!!

GO RE5!!!

Resident Evil is king of the gaming world once again.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Joking right?

Si!

 

[Ranger X]

Inferior games sell better. AWESOME!

What else is new? This was the most shooter-ish and generic of all Resident Evil ever + coop gameplay is ala mode. It was a given.

.

 

[Stop It]

Halo Wars outsold Killzone 2.:lol

Don't tell people that, they might cry.

Anyway, pretty much nailed the PS3 sales, overshot 360 sales by 50k and Wii sold much less than I thought, what happened to PSP sales too? Pretty awful sales there, waiting for PSP-4000?

Moving to SW sales Resi 5 sold quite a few, Resi 4 killed the series loyalty to Playstation so it shouldn't be surprising that the sales split followed the LTDs of the consoles.

Pokemon nearly sells a million in the first month, again, the 2 MLB games reach 500k at least and games like MK Wii, Wii Fit and Wii play just wont die. A complete lack of GTA:Chinatown Wars...I predicted 350k for that, shit.

 

[Shadowlink]

Nice sales for RE5. Anyone know the GTA CW sales?

 

[Erebus]

I'm glad to see that RE5 kicked some ass!

 

[FrankT]

Halo Wars: 639k
KillZone 2: 621k

:lol

You know you're in trouble when a console RTS is outselling the greatest game of all time.

Many called it.

 

[The Librarian]

People didn't think KZ2 was going to even show in the top 10 this month, why are people calling KZ2 numbers bad its the best selling Sony first party game so far.

Because it was outsold by a console RTS.

 

[zeloe326]

Holy hell at Killzone 2 numbers. Wow.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

It's at 600k ltd. I think it's doing fine.

You can't be serious. I mean, relative to other PS3 exclusives and various 3rd party games, sure, it's doing fine. But this was a major release which cost I don't know how much to develop, and this is the result in the most FPS happy region? Bad call to launch it with nearly no marketing, but seriously.

 

[BravoSuperStar]

:lol

Nice way of making a bad situation look even worse.

Zing! :lol


Seriously though 300k is right around what I expected for KZ2 for March. I think Sony should be fairly satisfied with these numbers.

 

[sullytao]

Ah so thats why Sony were going off on one yesterday about the attach rate. Either way very nice on software all around.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Halo Wars: 639k
KillZone 2: 621k

:lol

You know you're in trouble when a console RTS is outselling the greatest game of all time.

To be fair, this is probably the first time a console RTS has been done 'right'; or rather, to the best that the control limitations can allow.

 

[Psychotext]

Can update this post I made for Killzone 2 comparisons last month now:

Some comparison numbers for KZ2...

360
Gears 1 - 1.00m in 3 weeks to ~3.4m 360s
Bioshock - 0.49m in 10 days (0.64m over 40 days) to ~6.1m 360s.
COD4 - 1.57m in 4 weeks to ~7.8m 360s.

PS3
COD4 - 0.44m in 4 weeks to ~2.4m PS3s.
GTAIV - 1.0m in 5 days to ~4.2m PS3s.
MGS4 - 0.74m in 3 weeks to ~4.8m PS3s.
CODW@W - 0.60m in 2 weeks to ~6.1m PS3s.
Killzone 2 - 0.62m in 5 weeks to ~7.2m PS3s

 

[Dabanton]

After all the hype it should have done much better.

And considering the rumoured amounts of money Sony has sunk into it,i imagine a few people at Sony are drowning their sorrows tonight...

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Looks like that $199 360 is kicking in. Or the games have hit a critical mass. Fuck them for screwing up the hardware.

 

[DMeisterJ]

PS3 sales = 214k

Blame it on the e-e-e-e-e-e-e-economy?

 

[Rapping Granny]

:lol :lol

Teh tears!

wat?

 

[Chairman Yang]

Capcom must be pleased with RE5's numbers.
Just amazing.

A so much bigger success than RE4.

Series installments tend to be heavily influenced by their predecessor games. RE4 was probably negatively influenced by RE3, RE5 is positively influenced by RE4. It's a similar situation with the MGS games--MGS3 suffered because of MGS2's reception, and MGS4 benefited because of MGS3.

 

[Flyguy]

[JudgeN]

:lol

Nice way of making a bad situation look even worse.

Considering the PS3 owner buying habits what did you expect, I mean really? Millions of copies sold?

 

[Davey Cakes]

Resident Evil 5 better sell well, considering that Capcom used half of the game's budget just to promote the damn thing.

 

[NomarTyme]

Halo Wars: 639k
KillZone 2: 621k

:lol

You know you're in trouble when a console RTS is outselling the greatest game of all time.

I think half of the people who bought HALO Wars didn't even know it was a RTS!

 

[Frillen]

Why predictions went to hell thanks to the Wii, as usual, and the PS3 and RE5 on both platforms. + I predicted Platinum to sell over 1 Million.

 

[Kandrick]

Oh 500 error, i forgot it was NPD day.

Nintendo

 

[Dirtbag]

Because it was outsold by a console RTS.

Because it was outsold by a console RTS.

Because it was outsold by a console RTS.

Because it was outsold by a console RTS.

Because it was outsold by a console RTS.

perspective.

 

[vesp]

I really want to see the SFIV numbers =/

 

[Proelite]

To be fair, this is probably the first time a console RTS has been done 'right'; or rather, to the best that the control limitations can allow.

Not to mention Killzone 2 is the shortest greatest game of all time.

 

[poppabk]

It's at 600k ltd. I think it's doing fine.

I don't own a 360 or a PS3 and have no vested interest in this at all, but it seems ridiculous that people are whooping up 938k as amazing and at the same time 600k is supposed to be a bomba.

 

[ymmv]

wow at RE5, 1.5 million in NA in just 2 weeks. wow, it even beat pokemon

and wait, how the hell did KZ2 bomb? Its around 500k for just NA right?

600,000 copies in the US so far. The European PS3 market is bigger so worldwide sales should actually be more than 1 million copies by now (unless KZ2 completely bombed in Europe which seems rather unlikely)

 

[godhandiscen]

you know what to do. ;-)

 

[TheGreatDave]

PS3 sales = 214k

Blame it on the e-e-e-e-e-e-e-economy?

Common scum holding back progress.

 

[Paracelsus]

Their all good games.

Too easy like this.

Let's pray Capcom still redefines Resident Evil, despite those incredible sales.

 

[Askia47]

I want the top 20 to see if SFIV charted.

 

[NeoUltima]

People acting like KZ2 sales are bad...? Seem good to me. Remember it sold 300k+ last month.

 

[MrSardonic]

RE5 sells 1m and Wii still outsells 360 by nearly 2:1...amazing.
