PS3 for $400

3 million is alot for consoles. Hell if Crysis sold 3 milllion on PS3 with a userbase of 13 mill thats a huge seller. But its not on PS3 its on PC. When you get down to it the PC is in almost every home in every first world country. Compared to that user base Crysis might as well sold 3 copies. PC gaming is dead 99% of people with PCs are not using them to play games any more, this isn't the 90s anymore. Sooner hermits face it the sooner they can move on to saving up for another graphics card in 6 months.Ket87

Crysis's marketing only seemed to consist of internet ads and magazine advertisments.

The reason why it didn't sell more was because many people after spending billions and billions of dollars to build the supercomputers to play Crysis did not have any more money left to buy the actual game.

Now they are waiting for it to go to the bargain bin.

WOW 3 million in how long now 5 months? Thats incredible Halo 3 only did what 9 million in a month.Tasman_basic

So, spelling lessons aside, I honestly wonder why people post without using thier heads. Quoted above for a prime example.

Right. So you admit 3 million is alot, but at the same time you say that PC gaming is dead. *head explodes*

Halo 3 had a $10 million marketing budget followed with glamourous launch party. I'd be really worried if Halo 3 actually didn't made such success.

Ok what is better:

PS3s Sold = 13 Million
GTA4 (PS3) Sold = 3.75 Million

If you still need proof that the PC is a worldwide phenomenon, look no further than the latest sales numbers from Gartner Dataquest.

The research firm reports that sometime in April of this year, the 1 billionth personal computer was sold. For those of us who have been in the business for a while, that sounds more like a McDonald's sign for how many hamburgers have been sold than a PC sales figure. For fast-food trivia buffs, the McDonald's burger took 15 years to hit 1 billion sold—from 1948 to 1963.

For such a game, what with it's System Requirements..that is darn impressive!thrones

wow, no doubt it will continue to sell becuase people get better PCs.

PC gaming is the best way. PC gaming will never die!

Not to mention that a puny fraction (possibly less than 1/100) of that "1 billion PCs" are probably capable of running the game itself at respectable settings. And even then, there's no guarantee that the portion that can do so is even interested in buying the game.

True and good point (wanker moment "So, spelling lessons aside," [I know that was a grammatical error but i just love internet intelectual nazis]) but Crysis's reveiw scores are no better and after the dev said crap like 'we are doing things 5 years ahead of any console game in terms of gameplay" thats a slap in the face

They are both big in compeltely different ways, appealing to hugely different audiance ( mostly ).

Comparing same genre game sales across platforms is pointless, ONLINE FPS is pretty new to consoles, it has that magical "wow" fad time to it.

Halo appealed to all the casuals in the right way, didnt take any chances, Crysis appealed to the more hardcore, took many chances ( and failed with its online ), took a massive chance with hardware requirements ands till sold 3 million.

Not to mention its always been this way, PC games dont mass sell in the first day, with exceptions like WoW expansions... but sell alot more over the years.

Crysis had a great, sandbox gameplay, but IMO it's nothing revolutionary. Stalker made FAR better innovations than Crysis, and yet it scored much less.

STALKER was incredible, i littleraly blew my mind with awsome. especiall with the easy modding of the X-ray engine, graphics mods make this game look even sweeter. it is the most important single-player game scince HL2.

Hopefully they realise that we, the gaming people, want the free-roaming stuff from the first 2/3 of the game. If not that, at least something cool like the alien spaceship.

Impressive, but I thought there were much more PC gamers than that.flowdee79

Only a small portion of the PC gaming market is actually capable of running Crysis, I suspect.

Look at its most popular titles. They tend to be old quality games, or quality games that have relatively low system requirements for their time.

You release a demanding game, you restrict your target audience.
