Bulletstorm sales were disappointing, claims Cowan & Company analyst Doug Creutz. Â The game which released just weeks ago in February sold around 280,000 units for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Â The analyst deems these numbers as “disappointing“. Â However, it did manage to sell more than another shooter which was released on the very same day: Killzone 3.
Perhaps it wasn’t a fair fight, Bulletstorm which was a multiplatform game was available on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. Â Across those platforms the game sold 285,600 copies in February according to VG Chartz. Â Killzone 3, was close behind the non-traditional shooter with 279,600 units. Notably, Killzone 3 is exclusive to the PlayStation 3 console. Â Both games recieved great reviews by the critics included in the metacritc averaging system and had comparable scores with Bulletstorm scoring an 84 and Killzone 3 scoring an 85.
