a) Wait until European sales arrive. It will most likely hit to 1 million. b) compare it to the RFoM sales and you notice that R2 is doing about 8 times better in the US in its first 2 weeks than RFoM did back then. If R2 is a flop then RFoM was a much bigger flop in its release.

I'm thinking this will have better opening numbers in the EU. It had to compete with Gears for gamers money in the US and had the disadvantage of being heavily outnumbered in terms of consoles out there. Still, this is a 7-1 increase over RFoM's debut so it's very nice indeed. Not only that but there has been a ton of exclusives in the space of a week that have come out. This should have great legs.

Abalistar posted 13/11/2008, 08:24
I was expecting something closer to 500-600k, but these aren't awful numbers. I'm sure it'll still at least top R1's US total.

I wouldn't expect it to have the insane legs that R1 had though. You gotta remember that at the beginning Resistance was pretty much the only game to buy, and there were PS3 shortages for a couple months.

Decent sales but I was thinking it would sell more like 500k first week. But then again, 2 million gamers bought Gears the same week and it came out election day so I supose 300k is very respectable given those circumstances. Can't wait to see others sales.

I wasn't too fond of Resistance 1, but I still thought it was above average game. Resistance 2 I am definately more interested in now because of the new features.

Should be amazing. I just replayed the first one and the campaign and story were great, as is the online still.

cant wait for the new graphics, story, weapons, and co op.

Was flicking through various game pages on Wikipedia, and it states on there that this game has sold over 3 million WW. Could be undertracked by quite a bit.

Looking at the poor Resistance 3 sales despite it being a great game makes me sad :(
