its common knowledge... please ask Gabe Nowell why he prefers PC and why Valve is so successful. It wasnt just because they made a damn good game. |
it's common knowledge to who? and valve is pretty much online downloadings now with a few exception meaning it'll be there till the end of time for people to buy it. When UT3 and Crysis (I don't agree that Crysis is a flop btw) have to be distributed through physical mediums via retail markets, you think they'll order more copies if the initial units aren't moving? As for your comments about these old games still selling, I ask how many units and how much profit it's making?
And for common knowledge, here is an article from PC world calling it a flop.

or an article here

and here is a forum of entirely PC users talking about the flop. I mean of all people...

so if you're sick of people talking about the flops, you're going to have to convince a lot of people.
Because the fact of the matter is, the sales were dissapointing whether or not it makes a profit or not.
And the make things worse, no one can make a clear argument about PC sales because nobody has the full data.
