Yes folks! We have the numbers . Killzone : Shadowfall - Guerilla's PS4 launch title has sold over 1 million copies worldwide*. The number is brought to you courtesy of NPD, GFK and independent trackers in Asia and Western Europe. We can confirm that around 27% of the sales were from bundles . The game reached the coveted mark after PS4's debut in Korea on December 17th, 2013 . We can also confirm that Xbox One's launch title Dead Rising 3 has also sold over 600,000 copies. Congratulations to both Guerilla Games and Capcom from Insiderp !

*The number is as of December 20,2013

So, if that's not pulled from someone's ass, looks like these titles sell alright WW. And numbers sound pretty realistic TBH.

Worldwide that seems believable

Hoo boy.

zombies had a good run

Mihael Mello Keehl · Dec 23, 2013

I bought it

lol where did you find this site

gogojira · Dec 23, 2013

leng jai · Dec 23, 2013

It seems like virtually everyone who bought a PS4 bought Shadowfall as well.

The Lamp · Dec 23, 2013

1 million? Well when there's hardly anything to play I guess you have to resort to buying a mediocre shooter. I did.

ilMikhail · Dec 23, 2013

I bought both titles , i'm only happy for Dead Rising

fuzzyreactor · Dec 23, 2013

Good, great game

Prompto · Dec 23, 2013

Its believable I guess but the source seems pretty untrustworthy.

Mushroomer25 · Dec 23, 2013

Makes sense. Killzone was a 7/10 in a launch line-up full of 5/10s. Dead Rising was fighting for attention.

ionicbluebird · Dec 23, 2013

Wow, just goes to show you how many PS4's must be out there.

Not really considering these numbers are worldwide and the PS4 sold more than 1 million in the US alone.

It wasn't the peanut of the mixed nuts that's for sure.

Holy shit.

BadAss2961 · Dec 23, 2013

I could see that. Shadow Fall is fantastic online.

newjeruse · Dec 23, 2013

The power of making the launch lineup.

shinobi602 · Dec 23, 2013

The derp never lies.

nbnt · Dec 23, 2013

Good for KZ if true, hope they don't kill the franchise after the negative reception.

Imm0rt4l · Dec 23, 2013

source is suspect, but I can believe it.

NateDrake · Dec 23, 2013

Nov. NPD CreamSugar told us KZ:SF was around 270k in Nov. If this site is to be believed, they "track" that KZ:SF has sold over 700k in Europe and Asia.

Twin Tails · Dec 23, 2013

bought dr3 twice. but digital dont count in this. Also insi derp?

Morts · Dec 23, 2013

I bought Killzone and enjoyed it much more than reviews/GAF made me think I would. It's also the only Killzone I've played other than the first level of Killzone 2.

Next to Assassins Creed 4 and Need For Speed, or NBA 2K14? Those "5s?"

Sapphire Dreams · Dec 23, 2013

Killzone is an FPS which had a lot of marketing push behind it, so I can believe that.

Persona7 · Dec 23, 2013

Glad to see Dead Rising doing well. I think it will be one of those titles that stretches out over time.

Assuming this is correct information. I was guessing it would do 500k - 1m at first.

Nocturno999 · Dec 23, 2013

Insiderp sounds legit. Hope games sell great though

Exact same situation here. Played the first level of KZ2, it did nothing for me, but had a blast with SF.

davepoobond · Dec 23, 2013

killzone was a good game to have at launch to be exclusive as a shooter

Unknown Soldier · Dec 23, 2013

If this is true, I wonder what all the Killzone haters on GAF will say.

BigTnaples · Dec 23, 2013

Nice. Killzone Shadowfall is a great game. Flawed,but I loved it.

John Harker · Dec 23, 2013

Hmmm. I can probably verify in a few weeks. Seems high if it's sell thru though.

Speedy Blue Dude · Dec 23, 2013

We can confirm that around 27% of the sales were from bundles

That just made it less impressive to me. People probably only bought it because they were forced to get Killzone if they wanted a PS4 in the first place.

Wonder what Forza Motorsport 5 is at. Probably the best selling Xbox One game, but then again, it was free to most of Europe, so probably not. But hey, fuck it since they're counting bundled Killzones as a sale, Bundled Forza is probably the best selling Next Gen title.

EDIT: But neither have bad sales, just want to clarify that.

Killzone still sold 700k or so, regardless of the bundles, and Dead Rising 3 selling 600k is great. That's a pretty high number as far as attachment rates go. Congrats to both.

makingmusic476 · Dec 23, 2013

I bought it, and I enjoyed it. Only ps4 title I've bought so far.

Biochet · Dec 23, 2013

Happy for DR3. I wonder if there will be a a version with all the DLC in the future.

CrimsonCrescendo · Dec 23, 2013

Didn't Capcom want 1.2 million sales?

It's the 23rd of December.

JAYSIMPLE · Dec 23, 2013

Killzone came with a lot of the ps4 bundles in the UK at least. We have had shed loads of copies traded in. A lot sealed too

TokiDoki · Dec 23, 2013

Well apart from KZ : SF , what else can you buy ? Consumers wanted to buy a next gen console , and they need at least one game . So , KZ is a safe bet and exclusive compared to multiplatforms like BF4 and COD Ghost .

george_us · Dec 23, 2013

Good to see it do well. I had a lot of fun with the SP personally.

MightyKAC · Dec 23, 2013

Great!

Hope that means more sequels.

Yeah, "insiderp" is quite a name and I never saw this site before, but this particular info doesn't scream bullshit, so I made a thread. Official data would be a godsend, of course

And? Their info comes from NPD and oversea trackers. NPD for Dec. hasn't been reported, so there is no new information about North American sales.

plainr_ · Dec 23, 2013

Insi Derp is a very legitimate source.

Weird that 27% of the sales were from bundles and that creamsugar's number was 27% of the supposed 1m number

Probably one or more of the games in the NPD. Why are people acting like cross platform games don't count?
