Wow, very nice. Japan getting some big numbers on a FPS is definitely something you don't see very often.

You bash ps3 on every article, Give it a rest.

If you read the article you would know why 20k is good for a FPS In Japan.

which is mostly a RPG country.

Color me surprised!  I don't expect KZ to be a blockbuster game in Japan but it's good to see GG putting their mark on a "hostile" market to FPS games.

It really was a damn good game in its own right, hype or no hype.

MGS4 wasnt all that westernized, What just because it has a first person view? and yet Kojima still talks about westernizing his games? Cant it just be that they want something Scifi that isnt another gundam game?

 Damn I cannot believe Playstation fans didn't go out and support K2.. it was a great game and I believe should have atleast sold 2M through its first 30 days on the market.  Atleast someof the Japs are picking it up

Killzone 2 best shooter i've ever played hands down. I have halo 2 and halo 1. I've played halo 3 it's no fun... Halo 1 was amazing though. After that they started to decline, and it became too hollywood. Killzone 2 is also the smoothest best looking online FPS I've ever witnessed and its so gorgeous. Its so perfect. Peace.

lawl MGS4 is not a FPS

also i think KZ2 can outsell Halo 3's first week figures. after all, it did just get 20 000 in one day, imagine what it can do in seven days

I fully believe that killzone 2 will attract lot's of new fans in Japan, the japanese know quality when they see it.

@15 - I wasn't calling MGS4 an FPS. I was simply saying that since MGS4 included more western mechanics, Japanese gamers might be more willing to try western games.

so that makes it 1,020,000 sold!  i swear that must be off.  its got to have sold more than a mil.  my xbox friend has been playing this game nonstop, so it is a good game, sony just has to market their games more i guess.
