The North American video game sales numbers for February have been released and as you can see from the graph Playstation 3 is tracking well ahead of the Xbox 360 in terms of month to month sales since launch. It’s no longer a question of if the PS3 will overtake the 360 (and Wii) but when.
The other big story coming out of the NPDs this month is the fact that Killzone 2 sold a record breaking 323,000 units in just two days of sales. Amazing.
Also, keep in mind that this is only sales data for February. With Uncharted 2 and God of War 3 coming out later this year 2009, like 2008, is yet another Year of the PS3.
In this day and age there are very few things worth noting. No one expects miracles anymore, only the normality we face each and every day. Well today, on this day, Killzone 2 has changed this, not just for me, but for everyone. Gamer, non-gamer, young and old Killzone 2 will leave an immense and earth shattering impact in it’s wake.
I can only think of three historical events that will forever be passed down through the generations. The creation of the universe, the evolution of mankind, and the release of Killzone 2. You will forever remember where you were this day and will share this moment with your children and grandchildren. There will be school textbooks and college courses that cover all aspects of this game. Today will become a holiday celebrated across the world. There is no going back folks, things have changed forever.
Let us not forget one other aspect of this truly historic event. The day it truly began for the Playstation 3. It is now the Bible of video games. To call it anything less than that is a disservice to both the Playstation and Killzone 2. The tides have turned my friends, make sure you are riding the right wave in.
These are my impressions based on playing through the first level and I may have a full review up someday. Though I’m not sure how I could possibly give this game a review score. Even a 10/10 would be an injustice to what this game truly represents.
Stay tuned to SDF for more information on this historic event.
This is what PS3 owners will experience upon opening Killzone 2. The greatest video game… no, the greatest piece of art the world has ever seen. Bravo Sony, bravo.
So impressed by the demo there are many fans (like the one shown above) that are outright demanding the game be released right now. This is an unprecendented moment in the history of gaming. There has never been a better time to be a PS3 owner. It has truly begun.
What seems to be Microsoft’s newest ad campaign against the SDF has recently been spotted on Youtube. It seems the recent layoffs at MS has effected their viral marketing campaign budget.
Being the unbiased site that we are, we have decided to post the video here for all to see. We here at SDF like to show both sides of the issues.
SonyDefenseForce told you earlier that KILLZONE 2 would deliver. And guess what? It did. The press agree. KILLZONE 2 will be the defining FPS of this generation, establishing the Playstation 3 as the go-to system for hardcore shooter fans. You will see a massive exodus of Xbox fanatics purchasing Playstation 3′s in anticipation of a truly next-generation title. Much to their dismay, the inferior Xbox 360 simply cannot handle visuals on the level of KILLZONE 2. Time to trade in those RROD machines for something truly amazing. February 27. Believe.
