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

[QUOTE="mtradr43"][QUOTE="dgsag"][QUOTE="mismajor99"]http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=15234

"While the Xbox 360 version is the more popular of the two in the U.S., BioShock on PC nevertheless manages to make a strong overall sales impression that few PC titles manage to achieve. Interestingly, though, the PC port outsells both the regular and limited Xbox 360 editions in Europe, where BioShock's PC version emerges as the week's biggest-selling software title on any platform."

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.

"So" is a clause, but the sentence requires you to read between the lines, so to speak. I'll give you a sililar 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, sowhy should I care what happens at other restuarants"? Just like Europe contains many countries, the category "restuarants" includes IHOP.

how is that in anyway ownage? A lot of people bought a great game...

to the TC and several other people here....who seemed to be assured that since the PC version "wasnt selling" then it becomes a 360 exclusive.

I still have yet to pick this game up. I have to many games to play and not enough time. I should get around to pickingit up some time in late October.

Saving my desert for last. :P

i find those numbers hard to believe. I live in Scandinavia, Bioshock was released on friday, so those "weekly numbers" are from Friday, Saturday and Monday? What`s the deal here? And BTW, where is the numbers? I can`t find any numbers in the article.

I fixed the "similar" error, thanks for pointing it out. Anyway, I understand that on online forums, people make mistakes on punctuation on accident, so it doesn't bother me. However, you guys were accusing him of calling Europe a country, which he clearly didn't do. I was just standing up for him in his defense.

games dont sell on PC well, which is why they usually end up on consoleSonic_on_crack

lol your late.....why dont you go back a few pages.....

and the PC still has 7 times the amount of AAE games since the 460's launch....so clearly...you get barely anything.

[QUOTE="jdang307"]People with PCs are waiting for torrents.cobrax25

read back a few pages....as it turns out...the PC version is outselling the 360 version in Europe.

funny thing, ther pc retail version outsold 360 one, so that means steam was also not included in europe's count. also, it seems a lot of people bought the game on steam as i heard somewhere steam went down for sometime becuase of the traffic

I see your point, his post was a bit vague. Anyway,it's nothing to keep on arguing about. Let's leave it at that.

Why does the sales of game have to turn into a way to spank the pc? Chance are only 20% of the pc's out there can begin to run the game, and from that, mabe half can run it well.

My pc can run it but the framerate is all over the map when trying the demo, so I purchased the 360 version. A great game is getting the sales it deserves and that's all that metters.
