In what way?

Even in the individual units charts, there's only three games above Killzone 3 one is Fight Night 360 the other two are Pokemon Black and White.

Killzone 3 is outselling Fight Night PS3.

RatherHavaBigGirl4801d ago

cause fight night champion is trash and is in worse shape than kz3 at the moment

ultimate-remag4802d ago

great game deserves great sales.. congrats GG...

saladthieves4802d ago (Edited 4802d ago )

Indeed...some people here probably haven't noticed how determined the Helghast can be...even if it means beating everyone else (including the ISA) to hold 1st position.

hellzsupernova4802d ago

whats worse is COD is third how the hell is it still there for ps3 seriosuly wtf in the UK havnt they taken court action because they think the ps3 version is THAT bad how can it still sell? ARGH

on topic good work GG you have made a great fps

Calm Down Sunshine4802d ago

You should see the people buying Call of Duty in the UK..

There's hundreds of thousands of them.

Baka-akaB4802d ago

Well at least the ones like him got youth as an excuse . I'm having troubles finding ones for some grown ups :p

Silly Mammo4802d ago

Where does a boy that age get the money to buy all that bling? Or is that his mother's jewelry?

InLaLaLand4802d ago

Lol at that picture. As Guigsy said, Cod and Fifa are the most popular games in the UK and that's what a majority play throughout the year.

@Calm Down Sunshine, you also forgot the kids that play it lol.

NeloAnjelo4802d ago

In the UK they call these creatures Chavs.

i live in the UK and Black ops sold tonnes.

i went into GAME the day before it came out and there was literally thousands of copies of Black ops stacked up in the shop.

guigsy4802d ago

COD and FIFA are the two biggest selling games in the UK. Quite a few of my mates only play these two games.

ZeroChaos4802d ago

Brutal Melee vs. a punch = No contest :P

Spinal4802d ago

Two different markets. But also Fight Night had alot to make up for with the terrible Fight Night 4 which pissed off alot of their fans. So many are very cautious about buying the new one.

I think fight night champion will be a slow burner but I got it day one aswell as killzone 3. Both good games.

Wh15ky4802d ago

What was so terrible about Fight Night Round 4?

I'm not buying Fight Night Champion but I liked Round 4 so it has nothing to do with that.

I spent quite a bit of time with the demo for the new one and if that was an accurate representation of the gameplay and controls then I'll stick with the far superior Round 4.

Spinal4802d ago

See if you liked Fight night round 4 then your not the crowd that loved Round 3 which was far superior than Round 4.

Those who liked Round 3 would end up buying Fight Night champion. Cause they took it back to what it was meant to be, With Button punching. But they took away using analog for blocking which I dislike.

Wh15ky4802d ago

I've played all the fight night games. I probably played Round 3 the most and in many ways it was the best.

"Cause they took it back to what it was meant to be, With Button punching"

Fight Night was never meant to be "Button punching" - the whole uniqueness of Fight Night is the analogue punching.

I have always played all the Fight Night games with the analogue sticks. However, I never liked playing Round 3 online because you were at a disadvantage playing against button mashers and you could never find an opponent in the analogue only rooms. Round 4 online was far better.

Fight Night Champion is not going back to any roots. It's just a button mashing, stick waggling noob fest.

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor356d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar356d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg355d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149355d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138356d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim356d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC356d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138356d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle356d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76356d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM355d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730356d ago (Edited 356d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger355d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca356d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy356d ago (Edited 356d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal355d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright355d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Fight Night Round 5: We Want A New Fight Night Game

It’s been almost a decade since the critically acclaimed Fight Night Champion, the final title in a series of beloved boxing video games from Electronic Arts. Since 2011, the studio has been focused on its mixed martial arts title, UFC, instead. But with the rise of the popularity of boxing again, thanks to fighters like Floyd Mayweather and Tyson Fury, could we possibly have another Fight Night game on the way?

Flawlessmic446d ago (Edited 446d ago )

I honestly cannot state enough just how much i want a new fight night!!!

Boxing is one of my fav sports to watch and it has been way to long since iv had a game to enjoy.

Undisputed looks like a ps3 game, cmon EA, stuff UFC, give the people what we really want which is a boxing game!!!

cnote00446d ago

I agree we need another fight night, however undisputed, I’d have to part ways with that ps3 claim.

Petebloodyonion446d ago

IT'SSSSSSSS FIIIIIIGHT NIIIIIIGHT!!!!
I hope they make it like round four instead of champions but ill take any fight night at this point

Dabigsiebowski446d ago

They need to go back to the good roots of FN R2 and FN R3. Everything after watered down the formula too much and enabled gimmicks. FNR2&3 are some of the greatest fighting games ever.

Kurt Russell446d ago

3 was fun and you could smash out so many haymakers. But I found 4 more technical and enjoyed it for that too.

navi87446d ago

At least in 3 you had to wind up your shots, it was more skill based as opposed to 4 where you just held down L1 or R1 whilst flicking the analogue stick.

navi87446d ago

Agreed, i played FNR 3 the most on Xbox 360 back in the day and using the analogue sticks to kinda mimic punches thrown was fun af. FNR 4 ruined it by just flicking the analogue stick to throw hooks, felt really unintuitive after the previous games.

isarai446d ago

They'd ruin it like they do everything these days
