PS3 for $400

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.

dgsag

Halo CE has long since past 3mln sales; Unreal Tourny 2k has long since passed 3mln sales; Lucasarts? I don't know.

I doubt it sold a million TBH, otherwise why would Crytek say tey will never develop PC excluisve games ever again ?kostmpekir

I doubt Halo 3 sold even a million TBH, otherwise why would Bungie leave Microsoft?

whooaaaa most impressive, 3 million whooosh who could have thought a game would sell that much on a system that has sold just only above 30 gazillions :roll:

Some of you are talking like 3 mil for this game is nothing, because of its "high budget", "hype" etc. Did you see those system requirements? The fact that up until now there hasn't been hardware capable of running it fully on max, and even today you can just squeeze in 30 fps on max. 3 mil is a lot for that.

What is there to doubt? EA announced the million mark after a couple weeks.

You dunno Bungie's history that well, do you...

You know, they've made games before Halo. ;)

Stop nitpicking, how often does a game break a mln sales that far back.

It's a shame how no one has heard of Myst, Marathon, or Oni...

It took Bungie more than half a dozen games until they really started to have blockbusters.

Halo is not their second series :P

Because they think thye are up there with Bungie,Valve and Epic, it was an excuse to go multiplatform, they made 3 million on such a demanding game, when you know you can easily tripple that? why not?

yet only 5% of people who bought it can run it well on highVendettaRed07

Me being one! 9800GX2 FTW :D

wow Hermits are so affected by the "PC is dying" statement. there's been like a million threads about how it's "not dying" now. if you dont believe it's dying then why not just laugh off all of the BS other people talk about the PC?unknowndrk

So if I made a thread saying the 360 is going to be in last place and that it sucks, and that there wont be an Xbox720, you dont think lemmings wont come in by the droves?

EA already confirmed 4months ago that Crysis sold over a million.

How much was the budget publicity?

[QUOTE="legol1"]i is someone know how much time it take halo3 to sell 3 millions ?Bebi_vegeta

I believe it was 10 million or something.

I think it was 20 million. The whole Halo flavored mountain dew thing cost a lot too. Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind a Crysis flavored coke either :P

It'd be cool if it gave you the nanosuit powers.

mmm.... cloaking....

I don't remember seeing one crysis advert on TV or didn't see anything anywhere so considering the game didn't have that much advertising it sold brilliantly.shearMario

I saw one. Once... At like 2 in the afternoon on a Thursday.... Talk about great ad placement. Watch out, they may miss the 90 year old women watching their soap opera's.

That's all I'm gonna say.

Excellent news, perhaps crysis 2 will be PC exclusive after all, with consoles getting a different project.slickchris7777

they already confirmed that...

In the very same interview they said "there won't be any more PC exclusives," he clarified by saying besides Crysis. Crysis and future Crysis games will be PC only.

Besides, it isn't like it makes any sense to release a sequel on a platform that the original game wasn't on unless you jump between gen's in that period... That is why Mass Effect 2 won't be on the PS3. That is also why 2K is taking the time to port Bioshock to the PS3. If they want to go to the 360, PC and PS3 with Bioshock 2, Bioshock needs to be on all those platforms.

And how Devil May Cry had a game on the Xbox?

I don't think DMC 4 was a direct sequel to the story of antoher game. Kinda like condemned 2.

Condemned 2 was a sequel to Condemned 1 :S

They aren't going to release anymore Patches? :x

This Crysis Warhead might have something to do with it.

But was continuity of the story important?

change in gen....

The userbase can be safely assumed to have redistributed.

Didn't I cover that?

In the same gen, you keep an exclusive title exclusive. That way you know you still have your fanbase and don't need to start a new fanbase in the middle of the storyline...

I'm calling B.S. on this. Unadulterated B.S. Seeing as how no one plays Crysis online, and seeing as how the game barely sold 400k in it's first MONTH, I seriously doubt there was some major overhaul in the product.usmcjdk6

The game sold OVER a million by the 1st of February. Stated in EA's EARNING CONFERENCE CALL

Most people play Crysis for its singleplayer.

The online sucks, simple as. It's for the Singleplayer.

And the benchmarking.
