yea it did but it was the pc and console versions combined and majority of the sales were probably from the ps3 version
Lemme give you one example...UT3 did not sell well that well on the PC. Why? Cause it was just a rehash of UT2004 with better graphics. Nothing else. It brought nothing new to the table. At the same time it got really good sales for the PS3 version. At the same time they have gears of war selling millions. Now if you were the chairman of epic games you would be like "A PC franchise is selling better on the consoles. And another franchise is selling better than ever. So why wouldn't i mak...
I did not say PC gaming is dying. Its not. That talk is stupid. An open ended development platform can never die. There are like gazillions of games available for the PC and another gazillion already coming. Am just saying the focus now is shifting mainly towards the consoles. Especially from the major devs. And they're reaping good rewards for it. I mean come on what non-sims and non-warcraft related game can sell 7-8 million copies on the PC. Probably starcraft and the old republic. But tho...
Hey dont get me wrong. I did not mean that PC games dont sell well. Borderlands and DA:O have both sold over a million for PC. The thing is that the AAA games on consoles tend to sell much more than their PC counterparts. Hence, when the devs are making new games, they tend to focus on the consoles more. Look at what has happened to MW2. PCs get the axe. Epic games have totally shifted their focus. And its not because the PC versions are selling less. Its cause the console versions are sellin...
You know am a PC only gamer, and i do believe that somewhere down the line PC gaming will become a very small market. It wont die, but somewhere down the line it will shrink. We're already starting to see the effects. Its not because of piracy. Piracy is just a catalyst. Its just that PC games dont sell as well as they used to. I mean sure a PC game can still easily do a million copies. But with game development becoming more and more expensive, its just not feasible for game devs to be conte...
one trick pony? ONE TRICK PONY?????!!!!! Half Life, Counter strike, Half life 2, Counter Strike Source, Team fortress, Team fortress 2, Portal and the HL episodes. One trick pony? I don't think so. Its ohk to give a person the treatment he deserves for saying something insanely stupid like Gabe did. But to not give someone the credit they deserve is just blasphemy. And i did not even mention Left 4 Dead even though personally i love it.
Holy cow now this is giving starcraft 2 some serious competition in my most anticipated list
Yes...go on....justify....as much as you like...lol
WOOOT
Its really shocking how many Ps3 fanboys are there on this site. I'm sure it if was also coming to the Ps3, they would have called this as THE version to buy and would have hailed it as another great Ps3 game. But now whooosh, the game sucks a$$ even before being released
You fanboys make my boring time go by so fast. Go minions fight till you die. I need to be entertained lol
People please check out dark snipers comment in the open zone. It deserves a comment or two. Most fanboyish comment I've seen on N4G
It puts the lotion in the Dark snipers basket
Does not look good? Are you kidding me? It looks awesome. Don't try to justify it not being on the platform of your choice by saying it'll be bad. The Ps3 is gonna have one of the best years in gaming history so be happy you're not missing out on something huge
This is going to be the next big thing. The combat alone make it worth the hype its getting in asia. This is possibly the only MMO in which you have to actually aim to cause damage. Also the graphics are awesome. Check out the vids on the net they look good
I knew Starcraft was big....but not this big
You people are talking as if Valve is the worst developer on the planet...and fyi they are one of the best. You cannot take that away from them. And Left 4 dead is an awesome game. Its just that he made a sad comment and he deserves all this bashing. Calling a system flawed because you cant program on it whereas other can is just being plain lazy. But don't bash their games. Cause they are some of the best ever made.
The company was bought by intel to showcase their larrabee processor. You ppl will be really lucky to get anything other than a PC release
I really don't see the need to be so harsh. CnC3 sold well over 3 million copies(and m not including the 360 version)
You know if pc gaming DOES die then nvidia and ati will probably close down. And if that happens microsoft and sony will have to make their own video cards which will cost them $hitloads of money. SO they will have to increase the price of their consoles AND demand more royalty from the developers. Which means that games will probably end up being even more expensive. So for all the smartA$$ comments you post on such sites, i hope u pray that PC gaming never dies.
