Crysis has sold 3 million+ copies...and the expansion sold 1.5.

Edit:
the game sold 1 million retail before the price cuts...but lets all ignore that...so 1 million is nothing now?

Crytek's first person shooter game, Crysis, has been reported for selling over 1 million copies in less than three month during the Electronic Arts third quarter earnings conference call yesterday. Even though the game has gone platinum, CEO John Riccitiello said that EA is "not satisfied" with the overall third quarter financial results. The company was disappointed that none of the big successes were developed internally. "We did not have any internally developed breakaway titles," said Riccitiello. "The closest thing we had to breakaway titles in 2007 were Skate and FIFA," he continued. Riccitiello expects Burnout Paradise to be another big hit, but he didn't give any more indications than that at this early stage in the game's shelf

i thought it sold nothing in its first year?

AFTER IT WAS REDUCED TO $19.99.

In its first year of sales, it sold NOTHING.

Of COURSE it sold after it was slashed in price by 1/3.

"It sold a ton for the 2 years after it was slashed to $20!"

No shit, Sherlock.

Crytek didn't quit PC exclusivity because they hated PC development.

@ JonahFalcon - that 90,000 figure was a load of rubbish. The figures are from NPD which is the US ONLY. So in ONE territory Crysis sold 90,000 in the first week. Not only that but the US is actually the weakest territory for the PC. It would be like you looking at xbox 360 game sales in Japan and coming to the conclusion that represents the "world",

Crysis did damn fine sales wise with 3 million sold and a further 1.5 million copies of Warhead sold as well.

The reason Crytek quit PC exclusivity is because they can. There is nothing to stop any developer from dropping PC exclusivity, there is no PC platform holder willing to pay for exclusivity like Sony and Microsoft are.

If you look at most exclusives on the consoles you will find they are either exclusive because the console maker stumped up a crap load of cash or the console maker stumped up a crap load of cash and bought the developer. That kind of thing does not happen on the PC therefore PC developers are free to do what they want.

Erm, the hacks for this generation of consoles are ALL software based. PC piracy is not install and go : you need to apply a crack usually, which is just about as difficult as enabling piracy on a 360/PS3.

@zslash a crack takes about 2 seconds to apply =\

I know, but that was in reference to JonahFalcon's comment -- he makes console piracy sound insanely complex. It's not.

With the PS3 you just download a modified firmware, place it on your USB device of choice and install via the storage option in Network Update... bam your console is piracy enabled. It's not any more difficult than installing an OFW, which is unfortunate for Sony.
