Xbox 360 wins lion's share of Portal 2 sales

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"]

Its too bad sony didn't advertise the free game...thats what you get with next to no marketing except an annoying white dude that claims he plays motion sensing, in Pseudo 3d and uses a 3lb fake gun for 6+ hours a day.

I see the Microsoft Defense League is in full-on Sony hate mode today.

It must hurt to watch the better version of Portal 2 go to the PS3 when you're stuck with a $60/year bill to pay the gimped version.

Funny how the gimped version actually allows it users to play online co op.

If you think that's funny, OK. Did you expect them to leave it out?

It was purposely gimped by Valve? WTF?

dude face it most 360 games outscore ps3 games and there are more better games on the 360 and most 360 games totally destroy ps3 version and ps3 exclusives in sales. Maybe if sony wasn't so worried about bluray sales then they would have a marketing departmnet that didn't fall upon a comedian to make ad's for their games.

WilliamRLBaker

There we go. Let it all out. Portal 2 may be gimped on the 360 but you have sales. Also, yes, you're right, it's awful having a console with Blu-ray and that mean old comedian said some hurtful things didn't he?

[QUOTE="MCV UK"]Chart-Track has reportedly revealed that the Xbox 360 version of Valve's Portal 2 was by far the most popular of the three SKUs released.

ShopTo.net claims to have confirmation that Microsoft's machine accounted for 54 per cent of overall sales. PS3 claimed just 35 per cent, despite the fact the SKU is the first and only to include cross-platform compatibility with Steam on both PC and Mac.

And this matters because?

It's always nice to have fans, thanks.

By the way, if anyone wanted, they could just buy the ps3 version to get the PC copy and then just return the ps3 version. It would be like getting a free copy of Portal 2. Only problem with that is PSN is down :|Karnage108

Do you know how returns with software works? It doesn't matter where you live; OPENED SOFTWARE CANNOT BE RETURNED.

I just love the source, shopto.netDiviniuz

My predicitons for final tally is:

About 4 million with:

xbox 360 40%

PC 35%

PS3 25%

But since most sales on the PC = 4x the profit of a console sale in terms of PROFIT for valve it would be more like:

PC 50%

xbox 360 30%

PS3 20%

Aren't sales on PC titles always low when compared to consoles? daviwinn

But the PS3 had the superior version! :o

I'd say one of the big reasons is the lack of PSN right now..

I really don't know how to look at Portal 2's sales. I mean didn't you get a free PC version when you bought the PS3 version? So PC sales for the game would take a hit because of that. Or are we only talking the console versions here?

But the PS3 had the superior version! :o

Silverbond

true but its not like 360 was filled with exclusives or other Amazing (recently released) titles gamers could buy..

it had to be Portal2 or else Mortal Kombat..

So this is just UK sales? :?

But the PS3 had the superior version! :o

Goes to show that 360 fanboys don't really care about the "superior version" like they say they do when a game is slightly better on PS3/PC.

Reality is.. it's first person... and you shoot a portal gun..... chances are allot of halo fans bough it thinking you are gonna shoot tons of robots :P
