Mortal Kombat 9 on PC sold way way above expectations

Well back in the day MK was fairly popular on PC. I still remember playing 4 a lot with school friends. I bought it for nostalgia of that and also of previous ones on arcade and SNES.

why would you want to play a fighter on a pc? whats next RTS on console?

I don't see the relevance. RTS wasn't possible on consoles primarily due to weak CPUs and the controller (lack of precision and too few buttons.) There's no such issue porting a fighting game to PC, which always has access to the latest hardware and every input device imaginable. The only limiting factor has been a perceived lack of interest in the genre among PC gamers.

Which is a pretty big deal for a genre that thrives on competition.  Fighting games are pointless on pc.

This is like saying mmo and fps are pointless on Consoles....

Yet they are on them and do/score well.

Face it, MK9 best on PC and sold above expectations.

Fighting games are pointless on pc.

Apparently, not so much. Hence this thread.

I was one of them, I thought the game was shit though personally.

Good to see such a good fighting game do well on PC.

We love stealing your games and getting better versions :) , leaving you guys with almost no exclusives! (Which is why PC has 3x more than each console this gen alone!)

Get it right, pleb.

Wonder why he does not give number. I guess because still does not compare to how sold on console. I expect MK sell better on pc than most fighter game because has pretty good story, and not just ending for fighter or usual animation story.Mr-Kutaragi

MK9 was release for console two years ago of course it didn't sell as much, and he can't simply just tell the the number of copies sold.

If Boon could have told us how much it sold he would have already done so on twitter. We don't know how much they expected it to sell if they were expecting very low sales they probably wouldn't have release it.

[QUOTE="Mr-Kutaragi"] But release at reduce price of pc because late. Even includes DLC? Sure he can give range of sale, do for console game all the time. Saying beat expectation does not mean much, since fighter game on pc have very low expectation for sale. More helpful if giving range of sale.Mr-Kutaragi

Your comparing the port to a psp and andrioid game? There are probably many reason whe he didn't so far we don't know anything about how much they expected the game to sale.

That only assumptions and MK is a completely different game than those three they aren;t going cost the same to make a port.

[QUOTE="CroidX"]

[QUOTE="Mr-Kutaragi"] There are more than one motivation for not release at least sales range. Maybe does not want to, because will bring comparison to console sale. They contract out pc port. Does not cost much for developer of 50 cent psp, Conduit, Star Wars Kinect.Mr-Kutaragi

You know the cost to contract these game?

Yea beacuse you know how much they cost right yet you use example of games that you claim who's pc port was cheap to make nothing but assumptions.

When people aren't good at fighting games (a result of expecting to be good when you first start), they tend to dislike the genre.

Fighting games on the otherhand usually don't even have a real campaign. They just make you fight enemies and don't even tell you the controls as you go along, you have to look at a sheet. I think that this game is different in this regard but in general I'm pretty sure it's true.

Most modern fighting games have tutorials, not a lot of early ones do though.

If you like no competition, maybe.

Also if you take Gamespot so seriously that must mean GTA IV is best enjoyed on consoles 10>9
