I wonder how close it was between Halo and Killzone

Also seems like the 360 version of SFIV is besting the PS3 version, seems like last week was a one off then

PirateThom6322d ago

While the Sega Mega Drive Collection continues to sell better on PS3...

Fishy Fingers6322d ago (Edited 6322d ago )

Difficult to say with KZ releasing. I'm sure the majority of PS3 owners would pick up KZ over SF4. I know I would and I'm a huge SF fan. Where as I imagine more 360 fans would pick up SF over Halo Wars (again, I would).

All in all I'm not surprised SF4 is now higher on the 360, KZ2 is obviously the most appealling PS3 title out now, SF is for the 360 (unless your an RTS fan or sucker for brand names).

EDIT: Sorry should pay more attention to the article post commenting. It isnt format specific, how do you know which sold more? PS3/360? They're combined, which in any case makes KZ2s and HW sales even better.

EDIT 2: Cheers Thom.

TheHater6322d ago (Edited 6322d ago )

Where do you see the xbox 360 version of Street Fighter 4 is outselling the PS3 version? I don't see it was stated in that article.

Edit: Thanks PirateThom. Sorry about that Omega

The_Devil_Hunter6322d ago

Lets just see how well Resident Evil 5 sells against 360..

Sorry if its off topic.

Omega46322d ago (Edited 6322d ago )

@PirateThom

Yeah cause everyone cares about that no name game dont they -_-

decapitator6322d ago (Edited 6322d ago )

Because its a no name, it shouldn't be selling ? I've read some dumb Sh1t on this site before, but your statement is by far the silliest sh1t yet.

Glad to see all games are selling well. LBP, hang in there little guy.

PirateThom6322d ago

I'm still confused how a game that it's in the top 10, a compliation of games from one of the most memorable consoles of all time, is "no name"?

What age are you?

How long have you been gaming?

All these factor in and are important.

kewlkat0076322d ago

I own the SM collection myself..(It's awesome) but still...

SF4, I figured would sell more on the PS3 just because of the controller alone. 360 gets an edge in graphics, and user-base and the PS3 on the controller.

I would like to know how many 360 gamers buying SF4 that bought a fighter Stick?

Halo 3 sold a bunch because of the ads and it's popularity which doesn't mean it better but KZ2 currently, doesn't have a huge fanabse.

uie4rhig6322d ago

damn.. IW made themself a successful game :) I hope it keeps selling until CoD6 :)

anyway about Killzone 2 vs Halo Wars.. i too wonder how close they (or not?) they were!

Omega46322d ago

@decapitator
I never said it shouldnt be selling i said no one would really care its selling. Serious what interests you more Sega Mega Drive Collection sales or SFIV sales? Really

@PirateThom
Im 19, since the N64 so i dont really care much for the old saga games, not saying others dont......actually i am but i doubt they care about it more the SFIV sales

callahan096322d ago

Sorry for the disagree decap, I meant to hit agree.

callahan096322d ago

@Omega:

Street Fighter IV PS3 had a 1st place week and a 6th place week.
Street Fighter IV 360 had a 2nd place week and a 4th place week.

I think it's silly to care about that. Seems even to me, good performance on both systems.

SpoonyRedMage6322d ago (Edited 6322d ago )

Killzone 2 does have a fanbase, built mostly around hype and previews. It's not like it came out of nowhere, it's been being hyped up for four years but still go on! it sold really well. Is it much better than the first one? Although they took out the thing I liked the most by the sounds of it(repeatedly beating people with my gun).

xjxdoggystyyle6322d ago

halo wars hasnt even went on sale yet until midnight tonight?
how is it edging it out when it hasnt went on sale..halo wars will destroy kz2 in sales

jahcure6322d ago (Edited 6322d ago )

"And Microsoft has reason to cheer, too – Halo Wars might have failed to get anywhere near Halo 3’s week one numbers (managing to capture just 17.6 per cent of its sales) but its sales better those of the previous best-selling console RTS, EA’s Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, by a ratio of three-to-one."

Kill Crow6322d ago

if the chart is for the week ending the 28th feb ... isn't that the day KZ2 and HW's were released? is this article about 1 day worth of info?

UnwanteDreamz6322d ago

LOL who cares about sales? I'm a gamer not a marketing executive. Which are you buddy?

I only post on these topics to watch you guys fight, over game sales of all things. Plese explain how great sales equal great games (Wii Fit I'm looking at you)

Mindboggle6322d ago

Well put it this way, when looking over the weekend all supermarkets where I live were sold out of Killzone 2 I had to go to 6 different shops and eventually got the last 1 in Sainsuburys. And Halo Wars was fully in stock.

Killzone 2 was #1 on Amazon and Play and actually sold out on both, and are now back on top after a re-stock and still is. And Halo wars was #13 on Amazon when I looked on Friday. And is now at #15 and #29 lol.

I think Killzone outsold it by a big margin.

PS. Believe it or not but i actually know a few 360 owners who were buying the Halo wars Limited edition just to get the Halo 3 maps early. Pathetic really

Aquanox6322d ago (Edited 6322d ago )

Halo Wars going anywhere near Killzone 2 would be an incredible achievement for an RTS in a console. (By the way, doesn't Halo Wars release in a few hours in the UK?)

Anyway, if you DO want to compare apples with apples, wait until Halo ODST and see how KZ2 does in comparison.

Yipee Bog6322d ago

I seriously didn't know that, I thought there was like 6 months still to go.

gameplayer6322d ago

Good sales for both sony and ms! Actually, I was more surprised at some other titles, brain training and halo 3 are both still in the top 40... those games have some legs!

resistance1006322d ago

@Yipee Bog

Halo Wars and Killzone 2 released on the same day here in the UK

Tryst6322d ago

Every single website I have been on had Killzone as number 1. Play.com has sold out of Killzone 2, while Amazon.co.uk has had Killzone 2 as number 1 for 5 weeks, 5 weeks! Shopto.net, Killzone 2 (collectors and normal edition) is number 1. Halo Wars hasn't got near Killzone 2 in the UK thats for sure.

The_Devil_Hunter6322d ago

of course its Triumphant. It's Killzone 2.

PS3isBUST6322d ago

I think Killzone 2 will sell really well, but in the United States where the XBOX 360 has like a 3-1 edge in install base, it's tough for a PS3 exclusive to really shine compared to XBOX 360 games. While Killzone 2 will still sell well, I'm sure there will be some 360 fans letting us know that it's not dominating.

The_Devil_Hunter6322d ago (Edited 6322d ago )

Right...very true

But it will dominate...Sony always wins.

iHEARTboobs6322d ago

You're still left with a great game.

HarukoHex6322d ago

it had to "edge" out halo wars, thats kinda sad since halo wars has about 1/8 sale ratio of halo 3. T.T

UnwanteDreamz6322d ago

No, what is sad is your trolling skills. That and your obsession with sales as if you could play them. Don't worry, I don't blame you I blame the media for brainwashing you.

HarukoHex6322d ago

really im just throwing what you guys did with LBP, oh and RES 2, oh and WKC. oh and all those other games, but as soon as a 360 game sells well, you go. SALES MEAN NOTHING ARGGGGGGGGGG.....i just want to go O>O O'rly. how pathetic.

BMS846322d ago

will grap the 1 st place in the UK charts:)
Good job GG and Sony

360 man6322d ago

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio55d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing54d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9255d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit55d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing54d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9254d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
