That seriously is excellent news. I want PC gaming to continue. :D

It worried me for the longest time seeing the huge decline in PC gaming.

Probably like the Half Life 2 episodes.

Perhaps with 3 million sales, they may reconsider not being a PC Exclusive developer?

Awesome :)

This just goes to show that Crytek chose to abandon PC exclusitivity to make extra profits, and not that their current profits were so bad that they need to release games on consoles as well. It was just an act of "I already haave loads of money, but gimme more!".

Against Halo 3, Mass Effect, Bioshock and Call of Duty 4? As if... If anything, it wouldn't have done as well.

You talk as if 3 million is nothing. The amount of games that reach that milestone is actually quite small.

lets put this in perspective here. For most games 3 million would be great, but for a game as high budget as crysis its nothing to write home about. There were probably around a million pirates of this game, so its not like this is gonna convince crytek to go back to PC exclusivity.

I'm sure those 400 million are different people and that if a pirated version didn't exist then they would of went out and purchased the game. /shrug

I would like to see a game break the 400m mark in sales.

Zero gravity was a lot of fun. Mainly i just go back to the beginning levels and play those over and over and over again.

You talk as if 3 million is nothing. The amount of games that reach that milestone is actually quite small.

On the X360, there's 5 games above that mark. Gears of War, Halo 3, Grand Theft Auto IV, Forza 2 and Call of Duty 4.

On the PS3, there's 3 games above that mark. Call of Duty 4, Motorstorm, Grand Theft Auto IV. Gran Turismo 5: Prologue was at 2.26 million at last count, maybe 3 million eventually as it's still in the charts in alot of places. Probably not though.

On the Wii, there's 7 games above that mark. Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Party 8, Mario Kart Wii, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Mario and Sonic at the Olympics and Wii Fit.

Not counting Wii Play and Wii Sports on the Wii, btw. If so there's 9.

Actually...Crysis wasn't really that high budget, just hard work for their team. They did use their own engine afterall! They broke even before 1 million.

PC ram and console ram aren't exactly alike. otherwise, games like Assassin's Creed and GTAIV would run piss poor with their open worlds and all. they're not without issues, but they work fine.

That is just amazing. For it being a PC exclusive and carrying high system requirements, it's a striking achievement.

Maybe Crytek will start taking back what they said a couple months ago.

According to the latest issue of PC Gamer UK, Crysis has sold a whopping 3 million copies in half a year. I don't think I'm allowed to post scans, but I'm sure some of my fellow hermits can confirm this.

Also, Crysis Warhead is apparently going to be revealed in next month's issue... :D

BUT TEH PC GAMING IZ DYING!!??!?!?!

Word of advice, don't speak about things you have no knowledge about. For those who don't know. PC and Console RAM perform the exact same function. There is no different aside from the its type i.e ddr2 ddr3 and its speed.

The average high budget game needs at least 500k to warrent a sequel. Just that in SW, they sort of belittle that number for their petty arguments. 3 million for any game is an appaling success.

Also, Crysis in general was built around cryengine 2. Just like UE3, Crytek most likely put more time and money making the engine to license, then actually building the game. I doubt the actual game cost any more than PS3's current high budget games.

GTA4 has a bigger brandname, more advertising, and there were like 15-20 million PS2 owners of San Andreas. Crysis on the other hand had poor advertising, needed a massive gaming rig and the brandname is loosely based on FarCry... its not a fair comaprison.

GTA has nearly a doezen games before it to build up hype and anticipation... Crysis had one?

How many developers have their second game sell over 3 million units? Not even Bungie, Epic, or Lucasarts did.

That was my first reaction. These guys were whining about piracy, but there game is making them hundreds of millions of dollars despite that.
