According to this link...

Bioshock PC/360

In August Bioshock PC was 77,374 and on the 360 it was 490,910. I still think you hermits are in denial. According to this link Bioshock was not even in the number 1 slot of 360 sales, yet it still dwarfed PC sales.

If I was a developer for the PC I would be looking at UT3s release 100k to Halo3s release 2 mil and forming a new strategy.

*Sigh* those are US only....PC Bioshock was the fastest selling game(all platforms included) in Europe when it was released. All this excluding the sales through Steam

Whya re you having ago at hermits, when 90% of the time its a lemming posting "Teh pc Exclusives are going, PC gaming is dieing" ... at least "best version" is a valid statement in most cases.

:roll: that was debunked long ago.

Even the NPD showed Bioshock PC Version as the number 1 seller that knocked Halo 3 down to second place.

I`m not.

The fact of the matter is that exclusives are going by the wayside as developers want as many customers as possible. My next thought is why do people care if others get to play a game? Do those people who object have sharing deficiencies?

Uh no, how could Bioshock which was released in August knock Halo3 out of the top slot when it was released in September. You need to get your head debunked.

And you guys keep pulling stats out of thin air, I'm not taking your word on these great PC sales.

Because Im lazy and I really dont care if you dont "approve" you showed 1 set of statistics nothing more, when there have been plenty of others posted since then. I suppose if you ask nicely enough someone will waste thier time digging it up but it certainly wont be me.

It wasNT Halo 3's fist week, seems rather strange yes, but it was posted here and bragged about, I know what I saw.

Sad part of it, none of the kiddies who ever make these posts realize that those numbers don't include the ditial downloads of the games, and in the case of UT3, the UT fanbase has all but come out and said that UT3 is not even close to being respectable to the UT name.

Yeah. I get it. "Best On" and all of that jazz. Still does not take away from the fact that the PC is losing it's exclusives to the Xbox 360 at an alarming rate. Crysis sold less than 100K. At least Unreal Tournament 3 has console sales to fall back on. While The Witcher isn't confirmed and we can dance around assumptions and technicalities all day the fact that a rumor exists should tell you something. It's absolute suicide releasing a title outside of MMOs exclusive on the PC. Crysis, less than 100K. What a joke. Get used to it hermits. We look forward to more years of listening to your elitist whining about how consoles are dumbing down and ruining your games. The fact is, we're making the developers some real revenue and no amount of crying will change that. TekkenMaster606
It only seems that the PC is losing a lot of exclusives. You should smack it into perspective though. Quite a significant ammount of console games are also making their way to the PC, its not a phenomenon that alone resides with the PC. What you need to look at are ratios of games going over. The PC still has the largest ammount of exclusive titles currently and announced and the largest number of AAA,AA and A titles. These things are undeniable one obvious externality here is that with such a large ammount of games, its obvious some will jump ship over to the consoles. YOu also can't look at raw sales numbers either, because of the advent of online distribution. Its fair too early to cry wolf Tekken, and you of all people shold nkow that.

I don't care about sales. I'm just glad that the 360 is getting 4 top quality titles (the fourth being Stalker). I just hope they are done well, as my PC can't run any of these games.

I hate to burst your bubble but I don't see WIC, SC or even Stalker performing good on consoles. And as to the TC, your HDTV, sound system, console + accessories is already more than a complete gaming rig costs so I don't see the reason to waste more money on something that will give me limited enjoyment.

Games made for PCs and consoles have been labelled as diluted by PC gamers. See UT3 and Oblivion.

Their defending Mass Effect's exclusivity in other threads, they've got to go on the offensive somewhere.

It was just a poor choice of opponent.

Good. Start with one of their strong arguments, don't offer any evidence to disprove it, pretend it's no big deal.

Crysis sold less than 100K.TekkenMaster606

Yeah, when a game that developers repeteadly state won't be coming to consoles sells less than 100k in NPD retail....

Well developers just ignore the global market where it's topping charts, the digital distribution industry and the difficulty in porting a game as advanced as Crysis and go straight ahead to a console version.

Since the NPD retail sales for one week were low, we should just assume Crysis is multiplat.

At least Unreal Tournament 3 has console sales to fall back on. TekkenMaster606

Good, mention something that was always a multiplat, pretend it's a part of your argument about exclusives.

While The Witcher isn't confirmed and we can dance around assumptions and technicalities all day the fact that a rumor exists should tell you something.TekkenMaster606

True, when exclusivity rumours surface, even if the company CDProjekt has said The Witcher won't come to consoles, it's bound to be true. We'll soon be seeing Mass Effect, FF13 and MGS4 going multiplat I guess.

It's absolute suicide releasing a title outside of MMOs exclusive on the PC. Crysis, less than 100K.TekkenMaster606

I know! They've only sold 1 million copies so far! I guess it's the poor house for CDProjekt.

What a joke. Get used to it hermits. We look forward to more years of listening to your elitist whining about how consoles are dumbing down and ruining your games. The fact is, we're making the developers some real revenue and no amount of crying will change that. TekkenMaster606

Yep, compared to the mighty userbases of consoles that run into the tens of millions, the PC can only offer a measly 200 million global users.

Plus consoles also have all those nifty barriers to entry, licensing fees and the need to adapt development to the platform. All the PC has is Microsoft paying you money if you stick the Games for Windows logo on your box.

So essentially, you named three games, two which have no announcement for the 360, and whose developers have stated it won't happen, and one game which has long been a multiplat. Yes, the PC is losing exclusives at an alarming rate indeed.

Does the 360 have kb/m support yet, because I have a hard time seeing SupCom being played without it.white_sox

No that's the PS3, 360 has no kb/m support

It's not lost any recently, and it still has the most. It's really not the same situation.

But isn't the US 99.999% of the gaming market?

:roll:

This thread fails.

I second that. The US does not have the biggest market for PC gaming. Its Europe. This thread fails on so many degrees its not even funny.
