This was a surprisingly fun game. Arguably more fun than console Killzone games.

However, the campaign is short and the multiplayer wasn't great. Still well worth the $7 I paid during a PS Store sale.

Online community is strong :). I also love the bot mode and the fairly frequent updates it got :D. Man I would like a sequel, maybe in 3rd person view, or something like SOCOM tactics :). I wouldn't be surprised if this game legs it out to 800k+ with digital sales

Considering it started from 0.03m, this is a HUGE jump. Logically sales might be halved next year, however LBP Vita is an exception since it sold more on its second year than its first year! So it should reach 0.45 - 0.60m end of next year.

Just compared these sales to LBP Vita and they are tracking very close to each other with LBP at 170k at week 10. Gives hope that Killzone will leg out to 500k like LBP.

Shame the numbers aren't higher yet. The folks that made this game did a GREAT job. It is excellent.
Message | Report
Kresnik posted 12/11/2013, 06:03
Don't see any problem with the numbers. Japan is correct because we have Famitsu/Media Create. Sales up to the end of September in the USA were ~43k which is correct. European numbers are all over the place because it was bundled in the UK for two weeks causing a substantial boost for those weeks.

Aside from possible undertracking in mainland Europe or under-estimating USA sales in October, I don't think there's anything wrong here. And I doubt either of those things would make a massive difference to the numbers.

i bet it is because the average person doesnt even know this game exists and that the average store has the game located in an odd location that people cant see. at my walmart they practically had the game hidden behind little signs. a single copy was there for a few weeks until they moved the game over to the right some

I still don't get why people don't buy Vita games. They want more but they don't buy them. I would have thought out of 1.6 million US sales at least 100K would have come out of that total since US likes shooters. Smh. Poor Vita man...shit

Has been adjusted up, but the front page totals aren't showing it yet.

Not quite to the 41k figure Creamsugar gave us, but closer now (37k for September instead of the 17k that was there).
Message | Report
DietSoap posted 18/10/2013, 08:28
@soulfly666: Cream&Sugar over at Neogaf claims September NPD has 41k for Killzone, so purely as far as September goes, VGChartz is only tracking 39% as much as it should be in the US.

Still terrible, terrible numbers, but that would at least bring the figure up to over 100k before digital sales.

About Killzone, i will buy mine in psn. But it is sad the numbers of sales. Like DemoniOtaku said, it can possible explained by realeasing the game just before GTA V. Let´s see the next month sales, because now it's just GTA for all gamers.

A decent start for a game with its reviews and exclusive platform, but a bit disappointing for a hopeful system seller, especially when you consider hardware sales. PSP sales were still greater than Vita sales in Europe this week. Hopefully it does better in America.
