You clearly don't understand how PC games sell...

A PC game usually sell only 10%-20% of it's lifetime sales in the first month. Sometimes even less than that. This is 100% true when it's percieved as a good game by the PC gaming community.

No, I don't 

It does sound interesting though. Do you have any links to support this?

How about the sales progess of almost any great PC game? That's the only way to show proof since I don't remember any study made about the sales trend of PC games.



Around the Network

I'm pretty sure 2K use shipped sales in their financial reports.
It's christmas time, so they shipped even more copies than usual, that means the PC version has probably the same sales as the PS3 version + digital distribution sales.
Overall around 500k.

lol @ shio as usual.

 

EDIT: On a second thought...probably less than that.

If they are only counting shipped figures then the PC version is doing even better, because nowadays most sales on PC are from digital distribution.



That's cool but I'd like to see it sell a lot more so we can have a sequel! This game is among the best I've played all year and is the first game with this type of visuals that hasn't been only that; a game with different visuals, its actually fun to play!

If the sales report goes to October 31, doesn't that mean that the PC version is probably closer to the 360 version in sales? Or did I read it wrong?

I looked at some of the PC games on VGC as usual they don't have any data. Do you have any kind of link to prove it?

Ah yeah right I just used the numbers dsister posted in this thread.

Well then they only sold about 20%-25% of their shipments in that period. Not enough informations to talk about a platform breakdown.



good game , deserves it



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords 

They aren't wasting any time with the DLC.

It's a really fun game, but i haven't played it lately for whatever reason. It's a shame there won't be any mod tools for it.

 

I'll buy the DLC... but honestly... a lot of mods turn out to be better then what DLC offers because the mods are more willing to take things in different ways and change up the expierence rather then just add a few new locations and monsters.



Yeah it really deserves it.
