I haven't seen any receny #s but the major problem for Warhawk just might be the somewhat low PSN user rate. Back in April, there were reports that 1.3 million users had accessed the free PSN which puts less than half of the PS3 owners by that time having used it. While the %s may have increased since then but assuming they haven't, if only 50% of owners actually use the PSN, just how many of that % will buy the game? It makes a small userbase even smaller and Warhawk doesn't sound like it was all that cheap of a game to make. |
umm.. at Sony's E3 they stated something around 3m online with the PS3 so.. its grown greatly. |
Thanks for pointing that out so I can do the search to find out you are wrong. http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=14649
SCEA president Jack Tretton said PSN has garnered nearly 2 million users since its launch, 950,000 of those in North America alone, with more than 20 million downloads from its PlayStation store. That's still only just hovering around 50% for what everyone can freely access. |
Not to mention it's trivial to make a new account for PSN. Add to this the fact that some people make accounts to get foriegn demos, and how people create multiple accounts to exploit/standby online (namely RFOM), and I thinks its safe to say the 2mil is well under 50% of PS3's. And before you call me a fanboy, its no different than the inflated numbers with live.
Personally, I have 4 PSN accounts, but I'm probably an exception. |
thats kind of a moot point because all 3 consoles have people like you with multi accounts (yes even xbox live). Plus how many actually have live accounts or use the online features of the Wii?
