Sales - WW up 23rd april. - View Post

Just want to say that's very good Portal 2 on PS3 numbers.  I suspect this is the best performance by a developer previously seen as 360 centric (on console ignoring PC) arriving on PS3.

Valve did pretty much everything they could, from Gabe on stage eating humble pie, to free PC/Mac versions to making sure the title was extremely polished on PS3, and the results are clear.

Epic and others who stumble in this approach should really take note.  The ratio of sales for Portal 2 vs Bulletstorm is very illuminating in terms of what works best.

Amazing to see both 360 and PS3 doing so well.  360 showing better % growth due to tracking against pre-slim model and Kinect (not that the boost isn't good) and PS3 doing well despite being past its slim spike and back to normal organic growth.

Now let's see how PSN-gate affects things - if it does.  Still in two minds whether we'll see a hit in sales or not at this point.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
