Killzone 3 sales 1 million

Killzone 3 may have been forgotten media wise with recent games like Homefront and Crysis 2 making headlines but it hasn't stopped Killzone 3 from selling consistently over the few weeks it has been out.

[BK-201]

I'm very skeptical of this considering VG was off by 2.5m on GT5's sales but it is strange that KZ3 hasn't sold as much as KZ2 and R2 in the same time frame. Could be a lack of marketing or it could be because of all the big games that were released around its release date.

[trounbyfire]

well KZ2 turned a tone of people off and the media didn't help either but i think it could get to 2 million by years end which is great.

[moneygun2]

bigc072004 congratulations, you have just shown how to be the worst type of gamer, and you made it look easy. your bait is shit, go back to black ops

[tmoss726]

Killzone isn't as well as recognized of a franchise as Halo. The casual PS3 owner may know about Killzone, but more 360 owners know of Halo that's for sure. Lack of marketing imo.

[FailOverHero]

They were right about 250k first week in NA, NPD confirmed. They were right about HomeFront, THQ confirmed. They were 2.5 million below gt5 shipped numbers, no way to tell since SONY never release sold numbers

[Gran Touring]

Polyphony digital released the sales figures

http://www.polyphony.co.jp/...

[MaxXAttaxX]

Do you ever give up?

[AntiHeroComplex]

yeah im surprised KZ3 isnt getting more of a fan base. One of my first ps3 games was KZ2 and i was really impressed. I just got kz3 last week and its been great. Online MP really shines.

[ScentlessApprentice7]

not great sales figures. I am not a private auditor.

All the anti-KillZone/Anti-PS3 fanboys here on N4G who try to discredit anything Killzone, I would wager $10,000 RIGHT F'N NOW that you blind idiot fanboys do not even have any holdings in Microsoft or Bungie.

Sh*t, let alone know what the hell a "Stock Option" is.

[bofuknjanglez]

hmm by having stock option means they would work for one of these companies i would actually bet a few people that spin shit here do have stock options for the opposing side

[likedamaster]

The game is great, and quite satisfying.

[Xander756]

They were off by 2.5 million? Can you PM me some details about that?

[otherZinc]

1. Maybe Killzone 3 isn't as good as people think and consumers wont buy mediocrity.

[duplissi]

hahahahahaha

cod says hi... piles and piles of shite wii games say hi...

[Philoctetes]

The open beta was really bad marketing for this game, as it was plagued by connection/server problems. The retail version got off to a very rocky start too. It's quite a bit better now (map rotation is still broken a month after launch though), but game developers need to realize that poorly-supported betas and demos can hurt sales.

[jrbeerman11]

betas and demos seem to be hurting all games that use them lately. unless the beta plays more like the finished product, which is few and far between. Crysis 2 also may have lost sales due to poor demos

[miyamoto]

I quote " VGChartz are as fake as a porn stars tits."
LOL!

[Dart89]

People can rip on this game all they want but all i know is i'm having a blast killing isa scum lol.

[ForceCSW]

Sit down HIG! I'll gouge out your red eyes any day of the week!

[GodofwarGoty]

congrats Sony and Gurilla Games you guys deserve it and much more i am sure killzone 3 will sell more then killzone 2 life time for sure

[Balt]

The best fps I've ever played. End of discussion.

[bwazy]

How can people disagree with you?

Its the best FPS HE's ever played, my god people.

[acky1]

The disagrees could just be people who don't think KZ3 is THEIR favourite game....disagrees don't have to be a direct contradictions to the comment.

I'm actually surprised by the amount of agrees it got...I thought the majority of people would have a different favourite FPS?

[NukaCola]

Balt is a troll. He does nothing but bash Sony. Check his history. He has never played it, nor owns a PS3. He should be banned for being a lying worthless human.

[BoNeSaW23]

NukaCola is right dude! Read the guys profile before you run to his defense. He hates games and gamers and is here trolling ie: "stirring the shit" and laughing at you all. Bubble down ALL his post.

[RumbleFish]

Exactly! I asked many of my PSN buddies if they were going to buy Killzone 3 and many who were saying NO, told me it was because of Killzone 2's multiplayer. I had an ambivalent opinion on Killzone 2's multiplayer. I think it was one of the best things that happened to fps games but it suffered from the input lag.
I can only hope that many gamers buy Killzone 3 in the months to come because it's really an extremely immersive game and easily the best first person shooter for the PS3.

[RankFTW]

Half-Life. Buy it for like £1 on Steam.

[stevenhiggster]

Probably go for Half Life 2 myself, the first one was great but the second was amazing. Can't wait for the 3rd, whenever they get round to it!

[RankFTW]

Oh you have to play them in order.

[btk]

Surprised that it does not sell well. Story line sucks. But other than that it is a great game. Best looking fps on consoles by far.

[f789790]

It was alright. It was fun at least. I thought the decline was very similar to Modern Warfare's story down the MW2's story.

[sikbeta]

It's a FPS, that genre never shine when it comes to story, by not judging it for the plot I think the game is really Great

[bananlol]

ehm... never played half-life I see.

[sikbeta]

WOW!!! that's a HUGE list right there XD

I recognize that I shouldn't say "never" ever, but damn, that's all? XD

[LarVanian]

You should try Bioshock and The Darkness. Resistance: FOM also had quite a good long story

[lee_ten]

vg chartz? nope. waiting for real numbers.

[Ducky]

Real numbers? Don't integers suffice?
=/

[CaptainPunch]

Pretty impressive, considering Homefront only sold one million copies worldwide on three platforms.

[DevilishSix]

I believe believe the Homefront million is one week sales, so no it's not impressive and KZ3 is not selling as well as KZ2. They screwed the mulitiplayer up. KZ2's online gaming was a helluva a lot better. They turned KZ3 call of duty like and it's disappointing. I played KZ2 for a couple months, I was done with KZ3 in a couple weeks.

[RumbleFish]

It's allways the same. Killzone 2 fans say they turned the game CoD like and Killzone 3 fans say they've fixed the controls.
For me it's just perfect now and I can assure you, I have not played CoD since W@W, but nothing with Killzone 3 ist CoD like.
When Killzone 3's sales numbers are not good now it might be because of the input lag of Killzone 2.

[jrbeerman11]

killzone isnt call of duty like. resembles battlefield more than COD.

to everyone who says it plays like COD care to explain how?

[redDevil87]

This website should be banned from N4G. Seriously these numbers are always fail and they cause nothing but arguments.

[badboy808]

I blame marketing. Kevin Butler is cheesy. To gamers like us he's a saint but to the average consumer he comes off as lame.

[Raven_Nomad]

Every Kevin Butler Commercial is a slap in the face to Americans and people with common sense.
The Japanese went to the lowest common denominator with that slap shtick over the top presentation and I quite honestly find it offensive.

I've never liked the actor in shows I've seen him in, pretty much third rate and I don't like him in commercials about games or gaming because he's probably not gamed a day in his life.

As for marketing, I saw commercials and lots of hype for the game, but it's just not the "Killer App" Sony wants it to be.

[trounbyfire]

I agree because sony are not selling the game but KB. people still don't believe me when i say that the price drop was what helped sony not KB.

KB soften the media view of sony and i do love most of the KB ads but they don't sell games because KB is the main focus of the ads.

I thought they should release the KZ3 15 second trailer now to see if it helps sales with a small bump. watching the Kb ad you only see a tv playing KZ3 with KB in front of most of the screen.

KB is more internet than TV for me.

[badboy808]

Exactlly we should make a story/topic about this

[hellzsupernova]

he sold me a ps3 cause i bought it before the price drip after watching some of his adds on youtube lol. that and uncharted 2 got game of the year, plus free online

[clrlite]

Marketing is indeed a major problem, but not Kevin Butler. I think the sales would probably be worse if it wasn't for him. Sony's marketing strategy, at least here in the states has been a little bit off. But, I think they know what they are doing(hopefully) I have seen some definite improvement, which I predicted. But, they are going to have to step their game up even further if they want to prevent further titles from being swept under the rug. When PS3 gets down to a mass market price point, it will make more sense to have a massively effective marketing program. They seem to be turning their marketing up as the price goes down. Some of their partnerships(like the Subway one) seem laughable though.

Things are coming together nicely for SCE worldwide and I hope they continue to build momentum. As they have stated, they have a 10 year plan for the PS3. People like to overlook this, as if Sony was joking. But, their moves seem to show that they were really serious.

[gypsygib]

I would agree that Kevin Bulter should market games like KZ3 because there's nothing humorous about the games atmosphere.

They should have had a more epic commercial.

[jrbeerman11]

I think he relates to average consumer more actually.

Considering that most of his jokes are not just for gamers, but so all people can get a laugh. It works well. You dont have to know anything about GT5 but still laugh at the car commercial. The MAG commercial with a kid interviewing with his job works for a wider audience, and the commercials advertising new system price worked flawlessly. Everyone knew the ps3 was cheaper.

also brand recognition is very huge in commercials, seeing him you know immediately its a ps3 commercial. Its like having a salesman you know selling you ps3 games, while also being entertaining.

[sashimi]

I clicked to see the source only to be vgchartz. since I haven't seen any reliable sources and guess it isn't gonna be any time soon.

[Raven_Nomad]

I originally said Killzone 3 would sell around 1.5 to 2 million lifetime and I might be right on the money.

When you look at it, Killzone 1 was one of the most awful and broken titles ever, then came the hype of Killzone 2, which it never lived up to, now comes the third game and a lot of people who felt scorned by the last one aren't going to buy this one.

Killer App it's not.

[BeAGamer]

killer troll you are

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Again Raven, I find your take on the money. I wonder if this is why it was reported Sony was looking into making another FPS game? Could it be they are losing faith in Killzone being their flag ship shooter?

[Raven_Nomad]

That was exactly my point in that article. Sony is clearly looking for that Killer App FPS, they see a game Like Black Ops with all it's flaws become the best selling game on their console, it has to make you think.

I'm not saying Killzone is a horrid series, it's just not the Halo of the PS3.

[hellzsupernova]

i fully agree Raven it isnt the halo. i think resistence 3 could be though that online look pretty awesome etc. but to be fair do we need another "halo killer" we have had Haze that was hyped up by media to be a halo killer, killzone series and im sure resistence has been put in that same boat.

[jrbeerman11]

I think by "halo killer" the ps3 wants to beat the sales of one of the best exclusive series of this generation. Love it or hate it Halo is huge.

I think Uncharted has the ability to be that for PS3. We all know Gran Turismo is probably the best selling exclusive, but the games are very few and far between.

Uncharted already kills all the halos when it comes to single player, but its the multi that made halo a huge hit.

obviously multi plat games are no slouch either, but for xbox and ps3 its the exclusives that sell systems.

[ipe]

that kz2 has same meta score as ur precious halo reach

and how in hell u have 4 bubbles? u troll every ps3,pc article

[bocajbee]

'that kz2 has same meta score as ur precious halo reach'

Yes but it's not as high as halo 3's ^.^

[Master of Unlocking]

Piss off dumb troll. The Killzone series is one of the best FPS series ever. Killzone 1, 2, and 3 are all killer apps. Not that you would know what a true killer app is anyway, since you probably own the wrong system, which is as much a stranger to killer apps as a hooker is to soap...

[Raven_Nomad]

I own a PS3 as well, I just don't enjoy Killzone. I find it funny my bubbles have been mentioned yet again simply because I bring valid points into a thread.

Since I've been gaming for so long, pretty sure I know what a killer App is.

I guess I'll expect to hear "Sales don't equal quality" argument again..... Funny it's always the PS3 fans that bring that up.

[guigsy]

One of the best FPS series ever? Come off it, KZ1 was mediocre at best, 2 was good if a little formulaic and 3 showed no significant innovations other than Move and 3D, which are optional extras. Obviously it comes down to personal opinion but I doubt you will find many people who believe it is one of the best FPS series ever.

Oh and minus bubble for that personal attack, totally uncalled for.

[AntiHeroComplex]

i think kz3 is a good game. Having said that i think they need to kill off either resistance series or killzone series. They have 2 scifi shooters but no regular shooters like black ops.
Thats a mistake.

[hellzsupernova]

resistence will probably end with resistence 3. they have socom thats a "normal" shooter. and i think they shoul end both franchises with KZ3 and R3. start something new.

[telekineticmantis]

that are selling pretty well, what else is there to talk about.

[Trroy]

The name scares moms. "Halo" sounds angelic, and hence the 8-12 year-olds get it purchased for them, for almost every occasion. Hence, the differences between Halo and KZ3 players online.

I wish I was joking.

[yewles1]

*applauds*

[jcgamer]

Killzone 3 is just so action packed and polished! You can DENY DENY DENY like Ronnie says on Jersey Shore all you want...

lol :)

[TheRacingX]

It is a very polished game.... add in the move/sharpshooter capability and its like a whole new world..... then add in the 3D aspect and its a whole other world...sorry but there's alot in there that just makes you want to keep playing. Very few games make me want to start over right after I finish, but KZ3 was one of them...

[TheDivine]

It is action packed and fun but it was definately rushed. 5 hour campain with bugs and glitches. Broken multiplayer (now its getting better with patches). The best thing is the co-op to me. Its the ps3s best exclusive fps but not even in the same league as halo. Reach has 4 player co-op campain and in firefight mode, a map editor, open environments with vehicles to steal exc not to mention its got a layer of polish no kz has. I liked kz2 best because the campain was great, long, and i like it both have bots but its features are severly lacking if it wants to compete with halo and cod. Thats the truth, great franchise but not top tier. BTW kz3 is not polished at all, it had so much bugs, frezes, and popins and unfinished graphics. I could see through walls and into white oblivion at parts. Kz3 also had no collectibls, hidden symbols to shoot exc. Great fun but you have to be blind not to see kz3 is a massive step back from kz2 in all areas.

[SephireX]

I like Halo and Killzone but Halo is dead now that Bungie are finished with it. True gamers respect both franchises for what they've achieved. KZ3 should be selling more than this. Its the game to be playing multiplayer wise.

[Unknown_SNAKE]

if true happy to hear it
if not i am sure it will be
.
.
anyway wtf is "Halo" doing in this figure's comments

[redblack]

VgChartz in not reliable.

[tatotiburon]

this game by november will be forgotten, the the servers will be a ghost town just like kz2 a few months after it release

[AntiHeroComplex]

look everyone this guy is a prophet! /s.

Just b/c u want this game to fail doesnt mean it will. In fact even if you go on KZ2 right now you can still play games.
So whats your point really?

Oh i see. Your point is you have 1 bubble, and its 1 bubble too many if you ask me.

[n4gisatroll]

@Calvin

That's pretty much bullshit. I still play killzone 2 from time to time and it's not dead by any means.

[S-T-F-U]

Don't know what Calvin_D is on about. There are still many people playing KZ2 right now. I was playing well into 6-7 months after release and it was as popular as ever.

[mayberry]

imho. kz3 is online fps gaming at its finest! having an absolute blast playing it!

[Jaybronee]

I agree. IMO its a mature online MP experience. Very refreshing.

[InLaLaLand]

The single player was more interesting than Killzone 2. You didn't care for the other character other than kill Rico in Killzone 2. The online is good in Killzone 3 but it does have issues (hit detection). I love the medic and engineer class.

[YodaCracker]

Killzone 2 reached 1 million sales in its second week, versus Killzone 3 which reached 1 million on its fourth week. And the PS3 install base is 30 million stronger now than it was at Killzone 2's release. Any way you cut it, Killzone 3's performance looks pretty terrible. I don't know how even the biggest PS3 fanboys could deny that.

Based on these numbers, I don't know how Killzone 3 could ever reach Killzone 2's 2.6 million sales, let alone pass it.

[MrBeatdown]

Uh, hasn't one million sales been considered good for a multiplatform game? One million for an exclusive releasing against far more competition than Killzone 2 did doesn't seem anywhere near terrible to me.

Terrible by comparison to Killzone 2's sales, maybe. Outright terrible, no. It's done better than it's competition.

[josephayal]

BEST graphics ever

[Snyph3r]

KZ4 should bring the warzone to Earth, maybe NY, or somewhere in middleast, Europe or Asia. People will be interested since the war place is familiar aka COD and othe FPS...

[Thoreau]

i see many broke butt kz3 haters, too bad. i am on kz3 and whatever solid game comes out.

southpaw79-psn
join me if you will.

[RatherHavaBigGirl]

i see so many broke butt kz3 loyalist. i am on whatever solid game that comes out. and regarding your reply from another article, im into women with curves, you women that actually look like women so ill leave the more petite girls to you. btw, kz3 is a 7-8 imo.

ps wow it took this long for kz3 with all the hype to get to a milly. wow, just wow... then again it makes sense cause i really didnt have to reserve kz3 cause when i went to pick it up there were many new copies on the shelves and a few used too. guess it shouldnt be surprising to me.

congrats to GG! they did a pretty good job overall. time to get that mp patched though

[KonaBro]

VGChartz story? Yeah, I'll take Huge Grains of Salt for 500 Alex!

[Kon]

Alan Wake sold 1 million too, just sayin'

[etowntwo]

lmao ...

[ATiElite]

yeh but alan Wake took a whole year to reach 1 million and half those sales were at the $19.99 mark. Alan Wake lost so much money it's crazy.

KZ3 is a great game it's just sad that sales are slow. But with the engine already made 1.5 million should break GG even. maybe some great DLC or a combo pack will push KZ3 to 2 million.

[Jaybronee]

I bought Homefront and Crysis 2 but keep going back to KZ3 MP. Well done!

[OooHJohnny]

Listening to whiners =/= More sales

[Chapulin]

Did not buy Homefront but got Crysis 2. I also just keep coming back to K3. My favorite FPS.

[Jaybronee]

I sold Homefront in two days. Kept freezing my PS3 and couldn't join a game. Needs a patch badly. Also the SP was horrible.

[earbus]

Thats really shit numbers if 50 mill consoles sold and its the big shooter wow how dissapointing for the company.

[BeastlyRig]

wow!! I really thought kz3 sold more already!

no trolling but surprised the game seemed very popular!

[MeNoRasta]

It finally sold 1 mill..tbh i thought it would sell that much in week 1.

[HungryGoku]

VG charts is fake retard.

[Master of Unlocking]

Source=VaguelyGuessed Chartz
-> multiply by 1,5 or 2 at least to get an idea of the real numbers

[Barajas_201]

the game and the developers deserve it :)

[tonywood]

KILLZONE 3 IS AWESOME.
1 million in sales, in this time frame, is great. Sony games are judged in the long term due to the wide selection of triple-A titles. Killzone 2 started a little faser, but slower than hyped......only to hit for around 2.7 million.

No one expects Killzone to carry Sony, because Sony does not need to put it's hope on one or two franchises. Anyhow, Killzone 4 will come out...most likely as a launch title for the next platform. (In my opinion.) 2 Killzone games are on course of selling for over 5 million combined. That's hott...especially for a company that is no where near as big as Bungie, Infinity Ward/Activision, Dice, and EA.

[TheLastGuardian]

Killzone 3 is underrated by reviewers and gamers. GTFO VG chartz, I bet it's sold at least 3 million so far.

[qadsia123]

good lazy bastards only add three new guns to there MP hope it gets worse!

[blackburn5]

Yawn. Everytime a PS3 game comes out the trolls and losers descend upon it raging that it's sales are awful. Then we here that real numbers from Sony or we find out that the sales are not as bad as everyone thought. GT5 for example, everyone raved that it failed and NA figures were terrible and all types of $hit. Then they found out that GT5 sold 6 million plus and that shut MOST of them up.KZ3 has sold more then a million copies and I am sure that is only the beginning.

And for the stupid people who insist on saying that KZ3 is the most broken game they have seen, have short memories. They seem to have forgotten the joke that was MW2 that had to be patched every second and was still brought. KZ3 has been patched twice and suddenly it is the most broken game ever? Also they seem to have also forgotten that Homefront's story stinks too but strange that they hold that against KZ3 but not Homefront. Double standards I am guessing

[Neko_Mega]

Nice to see pretty cry about KZ3 and say it isn't good.

Tell that to the people who can't get in because the online is too full. Yeah I don't think the game did bad at all and I think it did better than KZ2.

For people who talk sht on KZ3, me and my friends are going be laughing at them while we kill all the noobs.

[GoldPS3]

The COD fags that bitched about KZ2 controls should have KZ3. GG should have kept KZ2 controls then becuz changing them didn't bring more sales. Not saying the sales are bad but they should be a little better. All the time making the controls better for the noobs, they still don't buy. For now on GG support the true fans and leave the COD fags stay on COD.

[Baba1906]

who cares. the game is really awesome =D

[dday984]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Juevani]

Who cares how much it sold the game is AMAZING TEARING ANY FPS GAME RELEASED TO DATE, BOTH GRAPHIC WISE AND GAMEPLAY, its not like the money goes to us anyway, and for those Black Ops and Halo heads complaining about the controller, they should know that THIS IS NOT BLACK OPS NOR HALO ITS KILLZONE THATS WHY IT PLAYS LIKE KILLZONE, GET OVER IT..

[bloodybutcher]

well,i preordered helghast edition from hmv...after it didn't arrive it turned out that idiot of a courier left it 2 doors away with total stranger even though it required signing!so i rented the game to check it but i was really put off by what happened-_-and i hated online(played few DM).BUT.i got my money back from hmv and yesterday i bought the same edition for half price in store!^^and started to play Operations and guess what...i love it!so happy ending after all^^and i'm not big fan of fps online,only one i got into are COD MW,KZ2 and KZ3 now^^oh,sorry-BFBC2 of course.

[bloodybutcher]

what sad being disagreed with my story, i wonder o_O is anything not true?i always thought that, since it's MY life, i kind of know it better then others.please, prove that anything i said is wrong.

[LoneWanderer09]

People who hate on Killzone are 2 things (1) They can't handle the controls and the only way out is to say is horrible (2) they are Butt Hurt that there's something better than stupid Call of Duty

Battlefield and Killzone 4 Life!!!

[Daz]

or maybe they just dont like it?

[XeNoStRatoS]

The nice thing about the PS3?
We have plenty of choice! - That given even with all those choice out of exclusives and multiplat titles - one million sold units within a month is pretty decent. And it will continue to sell since people hear about the Move and test it at friends with Killzone 3. And when they are into it, it will have legs - no spikes anymore but legs.

[Morituri]

Kz3 all the way. I will never buy another fps if there is no move implementation - it's that good. Move is really what makes it shine for me.

[earbus]

Why dont these game sell i thought they were uber brilliant thats very poor almost disgusting sales compared to other games.

[Inzo]

Uhmm........... this about 2 weeks old.

[DelbertGrady]

That's just 1 million less than what Halo: Reach sold. Before it was released. Good work, Guerrilla!

[Achemki]

Trolls said the same thing about LBP1 when it was released. Then when it sold over 4 million and won several industry GOTYs, instead of eating crow they all just went silent and moved on to other games. Like GT5.

Then GT5 sold 5 million and those trolls again went silent and rather than fessing up...moved on to the next game.

Here we go again.

See you when KZ3 sells another million. Or actually going by history, probably not. You'll be trolling Resistance 3 around that time and laughing at Uncharted 3 for some random 6.5/10 review from google translate. So predictable.

[gypsygib]

I'm pretty sure the game will make a profit so Sony will continue making them. I bought it and think with Move it's some of the best FPS mp this gen IMO.

Killzone 2's controls gave Killzone a very bad reputation though...at least among my friends - they thought the guy controlled like a drunk then completely lost interest in the series.

[Arkhamz]

Am I the only one that lols when fanboys always say stuff like"Oh look it's vgchartz". Seems like denial to me but w/e

[CaptainGreece]

Vgchartzs has a history of being wrong fanboy. Lol @ these "genuises" really vgchartzs been wrong over and over again what makes them right this time? Yet we have people: Wow that's how much it sold? No you and your clan are stupid lol.

[Arkhamz]

Are you replying to me? I'm not part of a clan and I'm no fanboy

[CaptainGreece]

YOU are saying people are in denial for not trusting VGchartz lol.

[Arkhamz]

Seems i didn't make it clear, ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME A PS3 GAME OR XBOX GAME HAS POOR SALES, THE FANBOYS TRY TO SAY STUFF LIKE "OH IT'S JUST VGCHARTZ". THAT SEEMS TO BE DENIAL TO ME. THE GAME HAD POOR SALES, DEAL WITH IT,IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL....-_-

[DFresh]

1M in a few weeks is pretty impressive.
KZ3 could easily sell over 5M in its lifetime when it's said and done.
:)

[Father Murder X]

With all of the exclusives coming out this year what kind of legs will Kz3 have. A good SOCOM game will probably make KZ3 a memory. People will not buy every exclusive and SOCOM has a loyal fanbase even though SONY crapped on us with COnfrontation.

Just maybe having so many exclusives can be bad for business. Look at how M$ releases their games. They don't trip over each other. I still think that KZ2 was released too soon after Resistance 2.

I think that the Kevin Butler commercials are lame. They focus on him and don't really show the game. The Killzone 3 commercial is a prime example of this. Funny thing is I bet the the guy doesn't even have a ps3 in his home right now!!

[RAmar101]

Lots of butt hurt fanboys in here, from jan-june ps3 owners have had

Mass effect 2
Killzone 3
LBP2
Dc universe
Yakuza 4
Trinity zil
Hyperdemntion n
At tonec
Motorstorm apoc
Socom 4
Infamous 2
And free relams releasing in few days.

Bottom line is they have had no games FACT!!!!!!!!!!! No matter how much they cry the fact remains ps3 has more games for its userbase to pick from :)

[KotC]

Thats it? It's going to be hard for them to make their money back at this pace.

[Whackedorange]

If this had been on 360 i am sure it would have sold 5 million within the month cause thats what brainless fps does on the 360. They sell well, so perhaps GG should port the franchise to the 360 to earn even more bucks.

[TVippy]

vgchartz.com is a bullshit website.

[Droid Control]

1 Million?

Kind of low... Halo 3 made 14 million and Gears reached 6 i think.

Game deserved more success than this.

[Loner]

Wow those sales are pathetic.Halo would do that in its first day

[JusenkyoGuide]

maybe they are buying other games? i mean, i bought it but i can't speak for millions of other gamers.

[mendicant]

More than likely they are playing CoD. Not a problem with that it's just funny how that side of the isle likes to play the "our gaming tastes are so refined card."

I liked KZ-KZ3. They are good games but nothing to right home about. KZ3 was a decent game with great visuals. However, graphics alone don't make a great game. Crysis 2 looks and plays better and games such as Reach are in a class of their own. The fact of the matter is PS3 exclusives tend to be overated to begin with and it shows in the numbers. If the games were that good and the audience so "mature" and "enlightened" the numbers (especially considering the install base) should be much higher. Instead the same mulitplats they rail against constantly sell better while the exclusives struggle (in comparison to the install base).

The importance of PS3 exclusives is way overblown and hasn't helped them much this generation. To go from first to third in mindshare alone is bad enough. I have all the PS3 heavy hitters and while they are good games they aren't nearly as great as some here would praise them to be. There are exceptions such as UC2, Heavenly SWord and a few others but not anything that blows the comp. out of the water.

@Jusenkyoguide,

Good sales given the fact that it's on PS3. KZ3 is a great game and ever since patch 1.06 the game has been pretty much flawless.

Anyone expecting Halo/COD like numbers is crazy and delusional. Halo and COD are cultural phenomenons that every company would love to duplicate.

I think KZ3 might be too hard for the COD/Halo crowd anyway.

Its a damn right shame that games like this still don't get the sales they deserve. When you see games like cod rake in the sales every year its down right a shame. It falls on you all though and thats a fact.

Back in the day big games exculsives they meant something they sold well. Now adays multiplat games that don't deserve the time of day they make the money. Where as the publishers that take there time and invest there talent in your platform make no returns at all.

End of the day its on yourselves what games you want in the future. You work it out now what you are willing to accept from the game developers for as a trend it seems to be of little hassle to you that the companys that are putting the time in to make your consoles good seem to reap no reward at all.

Your all a waste of time. While you all sit here and compare your console wars watch your developers go under because you dicided cod was the way to go. Silly bastards ask me anything. I pay for quality and a full experence not a game i have to wait for a 1.7 patch to be able to play. f**k that.

Its on you people.

Could the fact that the game releases in February hurt its sales. January-Feb are the slow months of the year?
