Has achieved the biggest initial success at retail of any first-party PS3 title to date.
Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced that Killzone 2 has now sold more than one million copies worldwide.
SCEA notes that the "only on PlayStation" experience has garnered the biggest initial success at retail of any first-party PS3 title to date. The platform holder added that it expects the title will "continue to drive incentive for hardware sales throughout the year".
Killzone 2 was released on February 27 and you can read why it's worthy of its success in the VideoGamer.com review.

I'm only joking by the way, before I get a panning!

Gears of War 2 sold 1.8 million it its first week.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl sold 2.7 million in its first week.
Killzone 2 took 7-8 weeks to 'officially' sell 1 million (more likely 3-4 weeks).
Res Evil 5. Released a couple of weeks after KZ2, sold 1m in its first week and has already blitzed KZ2 on PS3 with 1.8m sales worldwide - compared to KZ2's 'slowing' 1.4m.
Although sales for KZ2 'should' pickup by 0.3-0.5million when it's finally released in Japan at the end of April.
For a game which took 4-5 years to develop, I don't think KZ2 has sold nearly as well as SONY would have liked.

It turns out that those were merely retail preorders, not copies actually ordered by individual customers.
EDIT: And Rogue, you know why that is? Sony's marketing is just horrible; this was meant to have a full television campaign behind it, yet I only ever saw one advert for it.Last edited on Sun 19 April 2009 by vrc

Granted they can't show it befor a certain time due to the type of game it is but still I can't recall seeing any adds for it.
