Bioshock, 2nd best selling 360 game EVER!!!

28/Aug/2007

It's no shock that Take 2 claim this week's All Formats No1 as the critically acclaimed 'Bioshock' becomes the 2nd fastest selling Xbox 360 game (behind Gears of War). Released on both Xbox 360 and PC, 'Bioshock' in particular gives Microsoft's next-gen console a noticeable boost with 88% of sales on Xbox 360 :)and 12% on PC :(, and accounts for 58% of all Xbox 360 Full Price units sales this week.

so the 360 version accounts for 88% of all Bioshock sales, and people say it's not 360 exclusive :lol:, may as well be with those numbers. Either PC gamers don't have the rig to run it, or are pirating the game, either way this is proof that consoles are the future, PC gaming is on the way out.

the afforable rigs require knowledge to assemble. something most ppl don't have.

In that case, those people should RTFM. The manual that comes with your motherboard and your other components give you more than enough information to properly assemble and configure your computer.

Where are the cows who can play this on their pc's in attempts to belittle the 360's games?? obviously arent backing up their words by buying the game for their sweet rigs YD_11

i dont own a 360 and i have really nice computer, but i bet most cows did make it up

Doubt that includes STEAM sales for America either, where Bioshock is doing very very well.Cali3350

they dont include digital distrobution numbers in sales numbers.

Where did he say that Europe is a country? I don't recall him specifically stating "The country of Europe doesn't interest me" anywhere. "I live in America, not Europe" and "There's no ownage to something that happens in another country" are both independant clauses. Trust me, I got an A in AP English and Composition. I know what I'm talking about.

they dont list the countries individually because Europe in composed of many smaller countries, which standalone (with the exception of Germany) isnt a major deal.

the UK is the biggest market in Europe....but certainly not even close to all of them combined.

yeah, and the 360 has the PC beat in the biggest market in Europe.

clearly the PC version is quite popular if in Europe (the biggest PC market in the World) Bioshock PC outsells, Bioshock 360.

"So" is a clause, but the sentence requires you to read between the lines, so to speak. I'll give you a similar example to what he said. Pretend we're having a discussion on the sales of pancakes vs. waffles. Someone says that waffles outsold pancakes at Waffle House. I say "So? I go to IHOP, not waffle house, so why should I care what happens at other restuarants"? Just like Europe contains many countries, the category "restuarants" includes IHOP.
