agree or disagree? I dont think many of people are going to try and play the game on a crappy PC when you can have it on the 360 all nice and cozy plus it seems the PC sales are really starting to lag. What do you guys think.

Losing? Like how Man utd did against AC Milan? :P Pc gaming has been making billions, DD has expanded the market like never before and it still is THE market for innovation.

Nope. Valve's games don't require expensive PCs to run, assuming Portal2 continues on the Source Engine. Valve also has the track record of primarily being a PC developer. Portal 2 isn't the kind of game you usually market to the 360 crowd. The 360 likes fun, social shooters, like Left 4 Dead, Gears of War, and Halo. Portal is a single-player puzzle game. Not to mention that user-generated content is a big part of the PC experience, and Source's tools for editing levels make it more enticing. With Portal on the 360 or PS3, you only get what's in the box. On PC you can download more levels made by other users. Better to have that than just the "Still Alive" map pack. Also, the fact that Portal 2 is going to be on Steam means that PC gamers have easier access to it, rather than needing to go to a store. So no. The 360 version will not outsell the PC version.

I didn't play Portal, is a puzzle game and I hate puzzle games. I'll not buy Portal 2. I'm not worried about the sales of Portal 2 in each platform. Valve thinks that developing for PS3 doesn't worth the effort and lately I think that playing most of the Valve's games doesn't worth the effort, also. A perfect balance.

Not a chance. Portal's popularity is from the PC, not 360. All those PC owners with Steam accounts will be picking it up for sure.

What the hell? Challenged by lemmings too now, are we?

When you say "crappy PCs", did you consider the fact that:

a) The avarage mid-range PC houses hardware many times more powerful than the Xbox 360?

b) Valve's Source engine (which is most likely to be used for the Portal sequel) is very well optimized to run on older, less powerful PCs?

... because I get the feeling you didn't.

Now, sales are a different story, although I believe this will sell quite well on Steam at least. Not to mention the mod support and overall customizability, which is reason enough for me to go with the PC version. :)

It won't sell on 360 because you don't get to shoot stuff and you have to use your brain.

It's a Valve game. I highly doubt that it will sell more on the Xbox 360.

It would be nice DD numbers were reported so we can see if there is a large difference in that versus retail.

Initially, maybe. But really the thing is going to sell like hotcakes on Steam for years to come as the price gets lower and lower.

Why do you refer your 360 to "nice and cozy"? and PC "crap"... Unless you described your personal situation on gaming.

Valve games sell like hot cakes on steam. And there's roughly 20 million steam account holders.if even 20% of the user base buy portal.that's 4 million direct sales, going straight into Valve's pocket, and by passing publisher fees.I'm sure Portal will make more money from PC than console.
