So...Crysis sold 87k...and UT3 (PC) sold 34k...ummmm?

Were either of these games available as direct downloads? Because as it stands, Lair has outsold both of them :|

Hermits...throw me a bone here.

BTW, I read that people are illegally dowloading this game to the tune of some 15,000 people? WTH is going on?

Hermits, please advise.

I dont really keep up with sales but im pretty sure you can buy UT3 on steam. Oh and I like you sig. Baseball will never be the same as it once was.

Oh cmon Dream this is flambait, theres 2 subjects on this already in the last 2 pages, 1 has hundreds of replies.Meu2k7

I didn't see them. I looked through the first 60 threads and didn't see it. Is this game available for download or not? You could have spared that waste of a reply and simply answered the question. thanks.

PC gaming is dieing. Plain and simple.

The market has become more demanding for simpler alternatives to gaming. It's going to be almost completely console based by next generation, in my opinion.

Ok then. That makes MUCH more sense. I knew those numbers couldn't be painting the whole picture. Can Crysis also be bought as direct download?

UT3 is on Direct2Drive, and MAYBE* ( I dont know) Steam

Crysis is on EA Downloader.

That's pretty far off topic, but according to EA...console gaming is dying; not PC gaming. And clearly there are certain genres of PC gaming that are pwning consoles (MMO).

When I think Unreal Tournament, I don't really think Americans...

I'll want to see the European numbers for that game before talking.

thanks for the clarification. do a lot of people use direct2drive? does it keep stats on how many downloads it tallies?

You could get UT3 nearly a week early on Direct2Drive so I wouldnt be suprised if it had quite a few sales, even though this game personally doesnt deserve it.

I think, im not sure, but isnt Direct2Drive part of Fileplanet? Its pretty popular.

I believe it is part of FilePlanet, and I know that's huge. You didn't like UT3 on the PC? I hear it feels console-ish?

We know it's not done. Duh. But it's the principle of the matter. Look at it relative to other major games sales performance over that same length of time. Look at UT the same way. Not good.

Hey are these sales numbers just US??? Killfox

not sure. link:

http://www.joystiq.com/2007/12/14/crysis-sales-in-crisis-ut3-gets-fragged-too/

that's where I got the numbers from. I just rounded up.

Abit consolish in some ways yes, I dont like the toned down aspects of UT2004, like the double jump was pretty lame, most of the vehicles are now far too easy to kill with (accurate & deadly at the same time) , the Story mode was abysmal but I didnt expect much different.

Overall, other than graphics, it wasnt impressive, most of the maps wernt that good, some were "WHOA" but most were not, AI was ridiculous.

I dunno i might of been expecting too much, but as suggested, Crysis & UT3 were hyped by Consolites aswell while many games this year have sold better than them and already have comunities put togteher.

My Multiplayer FPS of the year is Team Fortress 2, very well balanced, feels semi like an RPG. great fun. UT3 was just UE3 nerfed UT2004.

WTF?! That's very...not UT-like. :(

Then again, I don't remember a metric ton of options during the summer UT2004 launched. The goods came a couple of months later.

I see. Thanks for the commentary. I wish they would just recapture the magic of UT '99 and call it a day. Stop screwing with the formula. UT '99 was perfect, IMO. the series has been trying to recapture that while adding unnecessary stuff ever since.

And where the hell is Facing Worlds in UT3?! That's like...a requirement. :)

A good point was brought up earlier, the main focus of Crysis was selling hardware as Crytek was clearly getting heavy support from Nvidia/Intel. While the game sales ( that is just the US btw, the link you posted ) wont be amazing off the bat. Its hyped up hundreds of thousands to upgrade to the 8800 series, or get new PCs, or even the 9800 series in February.

While not a huge deal to Crysis, these hyped purchases now open EVERY SINGLE PC game available other than Crysis to run perfectly at max settings, therefor helping the system as a whole.

Im sure this was part of thier strategy all along, it makes perfect sense.

LMAO how many people could buy Crysis with it's cutting edge tech? 1% of PC owners?

PC gamers primarly have below average to average hardware.

Good. The points have been made. Here's a cookie. Let's advance the conversation onto other matters.

cod4, orange box and the wither sold farbetter then ut3 and crysis, also UT3 is not very popular on the eyes of the pc gamer right now, Crysis is too demanding meaning it should sell over a long period of time rather then on a couple of mounths, not to mention thats only the US sales, using 2 games to say that pc game is dieng(as many posters here did, not the tc) is pretty stupid.

not to mention that if PC gaming die, console gaming wont survive for much long

The death of PC gaming? A sad day for all gamers indeed.thirstychainsaw

It's not that easy with consoles cause you have to mod the console first then you get banned from XBL. They make it way too easy for PC gamers to get pirated copies of games.

As for PS3 games I haven't read anything about people getting bootleg copies of games or if Sony is banning people from PSN.

I can afford to buy games and wouldn't bother with pirated crap.

Heres the ones buying:

GTA4, RSV2, NG2, GeOW2, Fable 2, Too Human, Kingdom Under FIre, DMC4, RE5 and I'm sure there will be a lot others I will get.
