Japan <3s Killzone 2, sells 20,000 on launch |
Ó
Japanese gamers seem to be making up for lost time with Killzone 2 as the game's launch date proved to be successful in the land where FPS games aren't traditionally welcomed hotly. And we mean very successful.
That's 20,000 units sold successful, might we add. In fact, demand for the game was so high that some retailers even had to scramble to get some more copies. At the rate things are going, it definitely won't come as a surprise if it topples Resistance 2 in the software charts.
We'll know soon enough.

I don't even know how well KZ1 did when it launched over there. I wonder what the Japanese marketing was for this game. Probably had anime commercials or something lol.
for this is that they all read the long background story and thought it was a RPG ...
I guess Japanese people dont know how to read the back of game boxes.
Graphics was so good they thought is was an RPG.
You and your prejudices.... Japanese people know exactly what a good game is, even if most of them are RPG fans. Killzone 2 is an EPIC game which ends with an EPIC bang. They like these things.
it probably came with and exclusive manga!!

Coming from someone who doesn't even play FPS (the last one I honestly played was Planetside on PC), I have to say KZ2 looks amazing. I'm mainly into fighters, few action games (DMC), and JRPGs. I saw some dude playing KZ2 the other day and I almost wanted to buy it over Valkyria Chronicles. And believe me, coming from me that's saying a lot. So yes KZ2 is something else and it just goes to show you that Japan WILL buy something if IT'S GOOD. So take note you devs that try to cash in on general ideas of the Japanese market! On a side note though, 20,000 is good for one day, but this'll have to amount to say 300,000-500,000 total to really deem successful.
Well said Silver-Tiger, japanese people know when something has quality, and KZ2 is no exception, they're smart enought to know what they get is worth it, I still need to get my PS3 but this is the 2nd game game I'm gonna get...MGS4 is the first
