On the same token though. I don't usually go to midnight releases unless they're on the weekend. So you would think that pre-orders of the game alone (for as hyped as it was) would have been greater. Either way 300k in only two days is great for KZ2, but it still leaves a bad taste in your mouth when other games that are as hyped as KZ2 was sell almost 1million in pre-orders alone.

Killzone 2 came out Febuary 27th. It only had 2 days to register sales with NPD. Also I wonder if those days being Friday and Saturday had anything to do with its sales. Do people buy as many games over the weekend when they have other options for entertainment? Plus, most games come out on Tuesday, so the exception could ahve confused people. You both were right.
