Killzone 2 moved an additional 58,000 units in April
Not content to rest on its laurels after selling over a million copies, Guerrilla Games’ Killzone 2 had a great month in April by selling an additional 58,000 copies.
According to the latest NPD numbers, these figures bring the total of US units sold to 677,000.
Sony previously stated that the 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.”

What PS3 game has the highest attach rate in the US, I wonder? Apart from Madden.

Numbers only for as long as they appeared in NPD results.
GTA IV – 1443k sales in 33 days to ~4.21m PS3s (34.3% attach)
MGS4 – 775k sales in 24 days to ~4.42m PS3s (17.5% attach)

Are those attach rate figures “normal”?

Normal? No, they’re obviously at the top of the tree.
Normal seems to be about 6%-9% with big hits getting 12% or more (up to insane amounts like 53% for Halo 3 or 34% for Gears of War / GTAIV).

It seems to be all about marketing to be honest.
That and it was a really bad time to release it. Halo 3 is amazing. It has legs too… Anyway, that still impresses me.

C&VG are reporting that Halo 3 outsold Killzone 2 last month, pretty shocking that a title over 12 months old is whooping what Sony claim to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. Makes me wonder if the PS3 is just a Blu Ray player to a lot of owners or they just dont like shooters. (or are possibly skint after forking out for the console)
