Sony Expects Killzone 2 to Outsell MGS4
Hideo Kojima listen up: Sony has declared war on your beloved franchise! The company has announced that it expects Killzone 2 to match if not surpass the sales of Metal Gear Solid 4 when it ships next month.
A Sony spokesperson had this to say: “It would be a lie to say Sony has not invested heavily in Killzone 2 and each individual at Guerilla games has worked even harder to satisfy any expectations kept by the company and their loyal community. I do see the game breaking a barrier with a huge variety of groups and expect it to see sales as good as Metal Gear Solid 4 if not beyond it.”
Well, Sony has surely been hyping up the game for quite some time now, but it can be pointed out that the MGS franchise is a rather old one and its fanbase is much larger than that of Killzone, the first of which flopped.
