Killzone 2 Sells 1M, Not Selling PS3’s

Submitted by Paul Munn on April 17, 2009 – 10:04 amComments

ps3_from_dealnewsSony has cheerfully announced that Killzone 2 has sold 1 million copies worldwide. That is something to crow about given the underdog install base. Sony also says it’s continuing to drive hardware sales.

Only, um, it’s not:

March NPD Numbers:
Wii – 601K
Xbox 360 -330K
PS3 – 218K
PS2 – 112K

Price cut, anyone?

  • Damn, I would have thought they would have sold a lot more then that. I actually saw ads for the game this time around. 1 mil is good in many ways, but for a game like that it should have been much more.

    Poor Sony... If only they would have gotten the pricing right in the first place. They actually have a great library of games now, but nothing is going for them.
  • Just wait until April's numbers come out and that PS2 price drop has time to take effect. It might be back ahead of the PS3.
  • The biggest issue here is that while Killzone 2 sold 600K copies over the two month period, but orignally there was word from Sony Europe that the game was going to hit one million pre-orders on that side of the ocean. Now if you take the US 600,000 copies, you end up with 400,000 for all of Europe. Not exactly a million copies in Europe.
  • But what were the numbers for the previous months for the PS3 since Killzone2 came out, I wonder....
