1.2 - Sony efforts didn't pay off
Those Killzone 2 + PS3 numbers should be considered incredibly disappointing for Sony fanboys in general. Lots of people will say "But..... but it was only for sale 2 days!!!" or "Wait til' March!!!" but that's hardly an excuse. I don't see this game doing any better in March, because some of the most powerful franchises in gaming have releases for that month (Pokemon, Grand Theft Auto, Halo, Resident Evil). With this, I hope fanboys learned their lesson and stop thinking that a game will miraculously save a console that has been destined to be in third place since it got released.
But don't worry, I have the solution for all you fanboys: Visit VGCHARTZ, look at those unofficial numbers and try to convince yourself that the games for your platform are going any good.

I'll never understand why Sony released KZ2 the day before the Fiscal Period ended. It was largely outperformed by other titles. The hardware impact is barely visible as well.
Xbox 360 on the other hand, standing strong up 45% from last year.

Like delusional. When did Killzone 2 release? Oh yeah February 27th or 26th. When did February ended? OHHH YEAH IN TWO DAYS SMART GUYS. That wasn't even a week of sales. And to add further insult what about SF4. Xbox 360 has such a huge install base compared to the ps3 in the US and only manage to outsell the ps3 Version by 40k? Wow... Maybe those reports that the ps3 and xbox 360 sold 50/50 for GTA was true.

1.7 - No surprise here
Killzone made no difference. Lets wait till march. That sounds familiar
just wait till march of 07
Just wait till MGS4
Just wait till Xmas 07
just wait till 08
Just wait till LBP
Just wait till Xmas 08
Just wait till Killzone
Now i guess we will have to wait for Xmas 09 to see if Finally 2009 will be the year of PS3.
EDIT
Ape, you're probably right. We might have to wait till the price drop. But im sure MS will be ready with one soon after. Sony needs to market their Big Games better so more people will buy them. We need more 1st party titles from them. They have 20 studios, where are all the games. Releasing one every 6 months is not going to cut it.
Edit at 1.14
All that as you claim but yet Sony has not been able to catch up to the initial 8 million head start.
THE REASON WHY THIS IS A BIG DEAL IS BECAUSE Sony Fanboys on here claimed that Killzone was going to be the game that ends all games. It was suppose to be the Halo Killer, the second coming of Christ. Yet 18 MILLION PS3 owners didn't care. Sure it may be at 1 million worldwide right now, a month later.
Looks like Killzone got Killzowned.

1.10 - KILLZONE 2
I AM TYPING IN CAPS TO POINT OUT SOMETHING BEFORE THIS GETS OUT OF HAND!!
Killzone 2 released Feb 27th and only records 2 days this month on the NPD.
So before everyone condemns the low sales numbers understand that March will be much better. However, considering all the pre-sales mumbo jumbo that went around it doesn't look like anyone had 1 mil pre-orders in any region.

You fail to realize, not everyone picks up their copy on Day 1. Some wait a bit. Also those who order from online retailers, companies can't record the sale until the receiver accepts the package which I know many who end up getting their copy in March.

1.20 - Why does it matter?
As a GAMER why do these sales matter? Does a game become terrible just because it didn't sell very well. By most peoples logic on here wii fit, play and sports are the best games ever! Some of the best games made didn't sell well so they should instantly be disregarded. We should not care if a game sells well. I want some one to answer my question.

1.24 - TOO STUPID TO EVEN START
But I start anyway.
Pre-order number is what the publisher sells to retailers, which means IRRELEVENT to NPD numbers. Is the word Shipping more familiar?
Whatever difference between pre-order and NPD number is a difference between what retailers keep and they sell for 2 days.
Oh...and I saw the pre-order in EU was shown but not in US. Was there any expected number in US? Because this number is only for US, it doesn't mean pre-order for EU is wrong.

1.28 - @ Shbzshar
Can we all help it if there was nothing else good to play on the 360 at that time last year? Also, just because you're lemmings doesn't mean that the game is really that good.
EDIT: I like how everyone is focusing on Killzone 2 and ignoring the rest of the data.
For example, SF4 on 360 only did about 43K more than PS3. Which is sad considering that the 360 has millions of more units in the US than the PS3. And you can't use the "established franchise" argument because SF is an arcade game primarily. But what about the attach rate?
Also, the PS3 has 2 spots in the top 10 when it has struggled to get any games in the top 10 historically, and they are both new releases. Whereas the 360 has one new release and one 5 month old game. Disc scratching, anyone?
Lastly; both MS and Sony got the sh1t kicked out of them by Nintendo saleswise. I've never seen so many people srguing over first loser before. Or is it maybe that everyone subconsciously realizes ther is room for three consoles on the market but can't admit it without losing their fanboy status?

In the defense of LBP, that's a game that will sell well gradually. It wasn't the type of game that is hyped like a shooter pushing visuals. Remember the most hyped games are all about visuals and take much more millions to make. LBP will get it sales.
I'll see what KZ2 manage to do over time bu it so easy to compare it's releases to other top Shooters this gen. Of course while it is praised as the best, I'll see what type of PS3 owners that are really out there.

Killzone sales were for 2 days, the month ending Feb 28th and sold 300k+. SF4 was out since Feb 15th and sold only 400k. PS3 sales are up over 50k from the previous month. Killzone is still an unproven ip. Gears 1 didn't sell 2 mil in one day. COD 4 didn't sell 300k+ in 2 days. The 360 only outsold the PS3 by roughly 100k- 25k/week. PS3's install base is half of the 360 in NA. Failure indeed./ sarcasm

This is the typical 360 fanchild:
"We love that our games don't win industry awards, get mediocre reviews and have multiple glitches. Who needs superior games and award winning new IP's: we have Too Human. We can't wait for all the multiplatform releases and DLC planned in 2009. Oh Microsoft, please make the 360 $99 with a coupon for Mc Donald's.

And here are A LOT OF TROLLS, which don`t understand that Killzone 2 was selling only for 2 DAYS and did around 350k.
Uncharted in November 2007 in 10 days did around 120k, and now this game is around 3 mln. WW sales. =)
So, if PS3 games doesn`t make a very big launch week, that is compensated in long term.
Anyway, enjoy while you can(i mean till PS3 pricecut), because after THAT you won`t have that opportunity anymore.))
Sony spend it`s money on GAMES, not ads, so if game is GREAT it will sell GOOD in long term.

lot of butthurt people here.
Hyped games usually sell about half of their first week sales the first day, because of preorders and such. So 2 days of sales 350 thousand should make about 150k for the rest of the week. First week sales usually makes up a big chunk of first month sales, so I'd say we're looking at a maximum of 300k for Killzone 2 in March. MAXIMUM.
That's all
oh no...
Halo Wars sold 1 million already.

1.41 - You guys are such fanboys.
Any chance you guys get to hate on an other console, you jump right on it. How about you wait till your balls drop to open your uninformed mouths?
Anyway I thought Reeves was talking about 1.1 million pre-orders all together, which it looks like he was. And considering that Killzone 2 was riding on internet hype alone, it did rather well.
SCEA didn't push this game at all. It looks too me that they're saving their advertising budget for InFamous.
Killzone 2 could have killed first day... Good job SCEA... They really need to work on their advertising, it's actually getting old seeing all these great games with such lackluster promotions.
@SUP3R: I thought there was an article about a week back which said that Sony had just freed up a bunch of money so that SCE could advertise. I couldn't seem to find it though. However, the only mention of advertising I had heard was from SCEE.
One more thing I'd like to add. Am I the only one who realizes that SCEA advertises games after their release not before?

1.42 - Uwe Bowl The reason why NPD numbers matter to gamers is
because the GAMER wins if a certain game sold well.
Sony and GG make more money if Killzone sells more. In return,
-The have more money to make sequels
-They have more money to make new IPs
-They have more confidence in experimenting on New techs
So the Gamers wins in the end because they will get another game. Hopefully a AAA game or a breath of fresh air.
The reason why Killzone sales matter so much to Sony fans is because Sony and GG will have more money and confidence to invest in more games that cater to Sony Fans needs.
The reason why Killzone games matter to MS Fans is because if the game sells poorly, It "might" mean more games for MS fans seeing how even big budget games dont sell on PS3. Maybe 3rd parties studios will be more willing to support MS with more games.
Edit- KWs
This months NPD matters as will the next and the next. Sure it still has time to sell but the majority of the Sales happen the first few day. I know Killzone 3 was mentioned but they might play it safe and recycle alot of Tech from K2 now that the sales were not as anticipated.
Also, Ninja Gaiden 2 sigma is practically already done due to recycling all of Ninja Gaiden 2. Its smart to re-release it. Its not like they are making a new game. Its not worth the gamble.
If Killzone doesn't persuade PS3 owners to buy games then i doubt a 3rd party game will.

In that sense, the number shown on NPD Feb 2009 doesn't really matter.
2 days sale doesn't say anything. Besides, it sounds like GG already confirms KZ3, when they interview before it releases.
Also, third-party movements toward PS3 is quite fast such as NG sigma 2 (plus another PS3 exclusive game from Tecmo which will be announced next week)

1 - Another solid month for Xbox 360 and Wii
Proof of one of the weirdest timming I've ever seen for a big franchise.
Killzone 2 released right at the end of the month and it was largely outperformed by other titles. The hardware impact is barely visible as well.

since when has Killzone been a big franchise " Thats easy since it was the only exclusive that Sony fans could latch onto.. Is this you're first day? Because if you've been here more than a week you have to be a complete idiot to not know how PS3 fans on this site were hyping the game.. Thats ok though. Normal fanboy response. Hype it til it fails then pretend to not know anything about the hype.. Pretty soon Sony fans will all be saying the expected it to fail. It will be too niche or not hardcore enough.. WHat was it with the very first AAA? Oh yeah the controls that nobody could use.. Except the real PS3 owners that bought the PS3 to support. Not the 12 year old fanbase of N4g that hypes games their 12 year old selves cant afford.

I see what you mean, killzone released at a time when we will be unable to see its real effect for sometime. A lot of people picked it up day one, but I couldn't, I don't even know if it was the end of feb or the beginning of March when I bought the game.

this is very funny all the 360 anboys jumping out from under the rug, I think what they FAIL to relize is that KZ2 was released for 2 days while street fighter had a week on them, by the numbers KZ2 if it were released with SF4 it would be over 600,000. I am very happy with these numbers!

What happened to the millions of pre-orders this game had? Even if some of the people didn't get their copies right as soon as the game launched, at least half of them should have picked it up in the first 2 days. If they are going to pre-order the game, then it is highly likely that they are anxious to pick it up ASAP.

That MUST mean the 'xBox 360' has outsold the 'Wii' in the U.S.of.A right???
Looks at numbers...Er NOPE!!! ;-D ;-D ;-D
Wii = 753,000
xBox 360 = 391,000 ;-D
POOR Micro$oft!!! ;-D STILL??? Can't beat the 'Wii' at it's LOWER PRICE in the U.S.of.A!!!
How EMBARRASSING(Yet AGAIN)!!! ;-D
xBox 360 = FAIL!!!
+ I wish SONY would release their Games on the 1st of the Month...Because these Retards on this(AMAZING the Retard'ness of xBots on this is ASTOUNDING!!!)think 2 days sales
(Er 2 days DON'T = a Month??? + Er the U.S.of.A DON'T = The World???)of KZ2 is all it did???
+ Yeah still would LOVE a PS3 price cut tho;)

The sound of your failure, is deafening.
You couldn't even attack the 360 BLINDLY, like a half-@$$ fanboy would, instead you try to use the Wii for your vindication---and then toss in some nice comments about the PS3. What a Loser. Well, take comfort in knowing that a FAKE EXERCISE GAME outsold your precious Kz2.

Halo 3 sold 1.8 mil first day with only a 7.5 million install base in the U.S. PS3 has a 7.5 million install base in the U.S. right now. So KZ2 did a bit better than 1/5 of Halo 3's first day sales for the most hyped game ever for the PS3.

No but really , its sad that the numbers of halo wars and killzone are being compared
because killzone should have sold at least a million units
and halo wars should not have sold more than 100 thousand
Funny that halo wars sold almost as much with little to no hype

Why does Sony waste so much time and money on these exclusives when most people buy PS3 as an DVD player?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope they don't stop making games Like Killzone 2. Games like Killzone will not appeal to people like you . Why because you are a Noob. What is a Noob? A Noobie is someone who is new at a game but in your case it's someone who just doesn't have the skill to play a challenging game. Yeah you suck!
You can bring your Halo numbers COD numbers and Gears numbers all you want doesn't change the fact that those games don't require as much skill to play as Killzone. And that is why those games may sell more because they appeal to the casual gamer. If you guy were true Hardcore Gamers that like shooters then you can not deny how great a game Killzone is.
I want to know how many of you are actually competing in clan matches? And not some dumb Noob talking out their ass about how Great Halo, Gears & Cod 4 is because it sells so much.
There is no way any Hardcore gamer can say that Killzone is not the Best FPS out Right Now. Only Fan Boys, hard core casul gamers and Noobs are excused. Clan matches are the best that I have played. No racing around the map to see who can get the best weapons, weapons are balanced and NO AUTO AIM.
Edit: to you Noobs that disagree , You know I am right that is why you refuse to answer me.

Saying PS3 is in trouble doesnt just come from one month of poor sales.. Or have you not been keeping track enough to know that its more like 9 months. And year over year loses, especially during the holiday season are not a good sign for PS3. Sony has already lost a lot of support. Games sales are not what they should be either. And every console sold is a little more money out of Sonys pocket. I'm not talking about KZ2 either. 300k for two days is good. Hardware though is just falling further and further behind.

Everything you said about "noobs" was hilarious, even if it was stupid.
You sir, are a "noob".
And if believe it or not, if your using the Term "noob", than your probably not old enough to consider yourself a real gamer. With age, comes experience <--which isnt something you get playing Kz2 on grandma's couch, skipping school.

In NA no less , shooter capital of the world.
These numbers are absolutely PATHETIC when in comparison to 360 titles like gears of war and halo which both rank up 1 million + sales figures on the launch days.
So this endless bullsh*t from the sony drones needs to end because the ps3 is NEVER going to succeed this generation if the most hyped title in the consoles HISTORY cant even break 1 million in 1 day.

Fact is that in this day and age with franchises like gears and halo selling 1 million units in ONE day only
2 days of sales for the biggest title to hit the playstation 3 in the shooter capital of the world only amounting to some 300 thousand units is absolutely the definition of failure
Stop trying to spin these numbers as good when sony's competitors are beating the sh*t out of them left and right
