February NPD: Killzone 2 sells 323k units, Street Fighter IV 403k

The results for February’s NPD sales have been released, with Wii Fit coming at the top with 664,000 units sold, followed by Street Fighter IV shifting a massive combined total of 849,000 units, 403,000 of those being on PlayStation 3.

Killzone 2 meanwhile sold through 323,000 units, and, while this might seem fairly low for such a high profile title, it should be taken into account that it was released towards the end of February, meaning it gained 323,000 units in just two days.

The top ten list:

1.Wii Fit (Nintendo, Wii) - 644K
2.Street Fighter IV (Capcom, 360) - 446K
3.Street Fighter IV (Capcom, PS3) - 403K
4.Wii Play (Nintendo, Wii) - 386K
5.Killzone 2 (Sony, PS3) - 323K

    For those who say Killzone 2 is just another shooter and that it is nothing special... I say this:

    I have never bought into the usual PS3 fanboy hype.  I laugh at MGS4 and don't think the PS3 is all that healthy in the marketplace... I don't follow the usual pro-Sony hype... and I was not all that geeked out about Killzone 2... but then I played it... and while the single player game is just good, with some cool stuff tossed in, the MULTIPLAYER is where this baby shines.  I think Killzone 2 has the best multiplayer in any FPS... ever.  And that is not fanboy gushing, that is from a pretty pessimistic point of view.  I think it is an incredible game online.

    God if i became dictator of the world there would be no such things as a Wii or CrapBox... Wii would be renamed Kiddy Box 123, and GayBox would be eliminated from this world for it is an insult to us gamers ( it totally fails on the hardware ( I think they should hold a Xbox Blowing Meter on the website displaying the number of CrapBox blown so far O_O ) side AND name lol ). PS3 well it does what it says and quite well .. play station 3rd gen. Now lets hope people realise this and give it support so that all the good software aimed at teens and above COMES TO US mu u hahaha lol.

     I knew SF4 would outsell KZ2, so it's not really a surprise. That game has a legacy dating back over a decade, while the original Killzone was basically, umm, not good in any way. The only reason anyone even cared about KZ2 was because of the graphics.I'm not trying to take anything away from KZ2, as alot of people enjoy it, I'm just not one of them. I am a 2d fighter fanatic, and enjoy the longevity that SF offers. People still play SSF2 for gods sake. Glad to see SF selling so well. Surprised it sold more on 360, but then again the online is much better so that's a factor. It was for me anyways.

    @24 LFD IS A FPS that uses the source engine for christs sake. Have you not played it??

    @25 they both suck for fighters. Arcade sticks are the only option, but if you can't afford one, the new SF4 Madcatz pads are great.
