Killzone 2 sells 1 million on PS3s worldwide

Killzone 2 for PS3Sony has announced that Killzone 2 has reached sales in excess of 1 million copies worldwide, “exceeding expectations”. A very good thing for Sony, developer Guerrilla Games and PS3 gamers all around.

Sony also states that “the hit game has garnered the biggest initial success at retail of any first-party PS3 title to date, and will continue to drive incentive for hardware sales throughout the year.” Achieving the biggest initial launch sales for a PS3 game is definitely a very big feat. Congrats to Guerrilla for pulling it off. I was particularly interested to see how the game would sell given that Killzone 1 wasn’t a widely played title nor a highly critically praised one.

Killzone 2 also managed to sell over 500,000 copies in it’s first two months on U.S. store shelves.
