According to data obtained by the NPD Group, Guerrilla Games' Killzone 2 sold 58,000 copies in the U.S. last month, marking the first time since its launch that the game has landed outside the Top 20. The FPS is still performing solidly, though sales have noticeably declined compared to its first two months

 

The PlayStation 3 exclusive was released on February 27, selling 323,000 units and reaching the No. 5 spot on the February NPD charts. It dropped to the No. 7 spot in March, selling 296,000 units in the U.S.

 

Following March's figures, Sony announced that the game reached sales of one million worldwide and was the fastest Sony-published title to reach 500,000 units sold. It looks like even killer games aren't immune to the global recession and the drop in console sales.
