Killzone 2 Was The Fifth Best Seller In The UK For The First Six Months Of '09.
The UK’s first-half sales (accounting for all the software sales for the first six months of 2009) have been tallied up and show continued dominance from Nintendo’s “evergreen” franchises which continue to outsell any new releases with relative ease. However, Sony’s Killzone 2 has given them a good push, finishing in fifth place – the first game on the list to have actually been released in 2009 and not to have come from Nintendo.
Alas, overall sales were down 5.7 percent, with 29.7 million units sold compared to 31.5 million units for the same period in 2008.
The list can be seen after the jump.
- Wii Fit
- Wii Play
- Mario Kart Wii
- Professor Layton and the Curious Village
- Killzone 2
- Resident Evil 5
- Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training
- The Sims 3
- Call of Duty: World At War
- Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
It may not look overly inspiring but well done Killzone 2. It takes a lot to overcome the likes of Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii.
