Killzone 3 beats Bulletstorm on UK Charts
Its not that surprising seeing as killzone is a massive game and is a sequel so people already know its good.
Bulletstorm hasnt been advertised as much, and its a new title, so people dont know what its about, also it doesnt appeal to as many people as killzone does.
But yeah:

Eh, just saw it on my Twitter feed multiple times, figured I'd share.
1.) Killzone is a well-established franchise.
2.) Europe isn't exactly the target market for Bulletstorm.
3.) Killzone 3 wants a cookie?
" e. 2.) Europe isn't exactly the target market for Bulletstorm. "
Thats odd, a whole continent isnt the target market for a game!
" Just in case you guys haven't seen this, Killzone 3 sold better than Bulletstorm in the UK, pretty awesome considering Bulletstorm is multi-platform!still does not change the fact that Bulletstorm is immensely more fun. Also the UK are known to be PS3 whores. Also Bulletstorm was mostly marketed towards 360, what with the Epic Edition having an access code for the Gears 3 Beta.

I asked a co-worker about Killzone, he was well aware and had downloaded the demo. When Bulletstorm came up he had to IGN it on the work computers.....
It's obvious that Killzone is an established franchse. I guess people like serious shooters over the occasional crazy ones. :/
