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.

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.

trounbyfire4797d ago

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.

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

tmoss7264796d ago

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.

FailOverHero4797d ago

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

AntiHeroComplex4797d ago

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.

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.

bofuknjanglez4796d ago

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

likedamaster4797d ago

The game is great, and quite satisfying.

Xander7564797d ago

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

otherZinc4796d ago

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

duplissi4796d ago

hahahahahaha

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

Philoctetes4796d ago

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.

jrbeerman114796d ago

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

GodofwarGoty4797d ago (Edited 4797d ago )

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 4797d ago

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

bwazy4796d ago

How can people disagree with you?

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

acky14796d ago

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?

NukaCola4796d ago

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.

BoNeSaW234796d ago

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.

RumbleFish4796d ago (Edited 4796d ago )

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.

RankFTW4796d ago (Edited 4796d ago )

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

stevenhiggster4796d ago

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!

RankFTW4796d ago

Oh you have to play them in order.

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

1Victor369d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar369d ago

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

jznrpg369d ago

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

badz149368d 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!

Vengeance1138369d 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 Kim369d ago

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

VersusDMC369d 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?

Vengeance1138369d ago

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

solideagle369d 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.

Phoenix76369d 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

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

thesoftware730369d ago (Edited 369d 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.

blacktiger368d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca369d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy369d ago (Edited 369d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal369d ago

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

Imalwaysright369d ago

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

Killzone 3 is playable with mouse & keyboard on PC via RPCS3 & KAMI

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1120d ago

PC almost always ends up the best place to play games, even if it takes a while.

What would you rather play decades down the line? A game at a fixed resolution and frame, considering you have a working disc, and the hardware?
Or run it on an emulator that can update the experience all around, and let you use whatever control input you prefer?

If you insist on the former, it's really only for the sake of nostalgia.

Applejack1120d ago

I disagree. The main draw for consoles has always be the simplicity of just putting the disc in / downloading it and playing without worrying about anything else. The average person just wouldn’t want to deal with emulation even though it’s very important for preservation.

Terry_B1120d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1120d ago

Youre getting flak because people on here thibk of themselves as pc wizards. But honestly most poeple try and go get emulators and romz they end up with malware.. yes theyre "easy" if you know the basics but alot of people dont. That said the fact that its taken nearly 20 years to get a sustantially better experience for ps3 games than on its native system shows the complexity of getting bc to work. Sony, if they have any intention, should just invest in a vastly better psnow experience.

1120d ago
Vegamyster1120d ago

jukins

Most people who emulate don't get malware, you'd have to be going to some weird sites for that to happen, heck years ago people were getting sketchier ad's resulting in malware warning on this site if you didn't have a ad-blocker lol.

SinkingSage1120d ago

Can't get malware if you legally dump your own games, which you should.

Rachel_Alucard1119d ago (Edited 1119d ago )

That's fine if that's the main draw, but it doesn't make it a better experience, just a preference. Having the freedom to do the things you can do on PC is what the appeal of PC is. Buying a game on PC means you never have to worry about the console makers just deciding the next hardware shouldn't support the generation anymore, which means everything you bought is stuck on that hardware instead of moving up with everything else. Nintendo uses this tactic to keep reselling the same games over and over at inflated prices. Sony cut all previous gens off the PS4 and sold it back to people in a poor attempt with PSnow. While the PS5 supports PS4 games, that may not be the case in the next gen after this. No to mention shutting off all the previous stores and updates completely. Even MS stopped making new BC titles at some point, so now there's a big list with 17 pages of titles that are not playable on Xbone and are just trapped on older gen. That's not a problem on PC, the reverse happens where you only have to worry if your hardware can play the newest releases at ultra with no issue.

Shhh don't say that aloud! You're going to trigger a lot of console infidels here.

Shane Kim1120d ago

I rather play it when it's available then wait 10 years.

MadLad1119d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1120d ago

Well that's the beauty of still owning a retro console tho. Those who usually complain about emulation are just being blindly loyal to a company. Emulation is great for many reason, but if I still owned the console then I disagree nothing beats plugging it back in and going down a nostalgia trip

The RPCS3 devs are doing great work. And Kami works nicely with it too it seems.
Very neat.

Magatsuhi1120d ago

Been playing mgo on pc with mouse. It's not perfect but I can make it work.

Binarycode1120d ago

2 is the better game.

A Remake would be good. 60fps 2-4k

60fps is peasant for FPS games now

Top 10 PS3 Games We Hope Come Back On PS5

While Xbox has committed to backwards compatibility spanning four generations, PlayStation has continued their stance that the feature isn't important. Well, it is! I'm hoping these PlayStation 3 classics that skipped the PS4 entirely show up again on the PS5 for everyone to enjoy.

Resistance, Dead Space franchise, Splatterhouse, Lollipop Chainsaw, Brutal Legends, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved Journey to the West, Mass Effect franchise. Also wouldn't mind seeing a new Wild Arms game remake or HD remaster, the Xenosaga trilogy, a new Parasite Eve, a new Dino Crisis just too many games to list that are forgotten and left in the dark now adays.

Sciurus_vulgaris1297d ago

The PS3 is difficult to emulate. PS3 backwards compatibility on PS5 would require translation from PowerPC to x86. Additionally the PS5 likely would have to mimic the PS3’s GPU and CPU.

This is what pops up on my web browser. So I can't even read the site. So, forget that. They don't need my data.

But let's get something straight. OG Xbox had around 1,001 games. How many are BC on Series X? **39** THIRTY NINE. Come on! That's wack BC. You can't tell me that's a complete list. Talking about commitment. Game preservation. Ridiculous. Covers nothing.

How many games released on Xbox 360? Around 2085. How many are BC?
568. That's it. Around 1,517 are **MISSING** Stop playing. Tired of that nonsense.

Anyway, the only games I really want from PS3 that would be awesome are Motorstorm and MGS4. I'll take BC. I'll take a remaster. I'll take a remake. If not those, then Killzone 2. And in VR, maybe Sports Champions, House of the Dead Overkill and the Time Crisis games.

That's all I need. But we've gone over BC again and again in every possible way. It wasn't that important because Sony sold 115 million consoles without it. That's proof enough with no outcry. And PS5 has damn near all 4,000+ PS4 games BC. It's not PS1,PS2 and PS3. But that's plenty. I'll take more but you get what you get.
