I have been to various retailers here in the Netherlands and in only 2 shops I noticed one lonely copy of UT3 for the PS3 on the shelves and zero marketing for the game at all (nowhere, some old ads for the PC version only). At first I was tempted to buy this game, as I liked the original Unreal Tournnment way back. Two reasons why I didn't:
1) The game appears to have shipped in extremely low quantities, 2 copies in 2 major stores! Other stores had none, I think it's unlikely this game sold out or something considering the complete and total lack of marketing. This game needs a big online community, not the type of game you would play by yourself at all! Yet the shops had hundreds of unsold PC copies.
2) This game is priced 10 Euro more than the most expensive other standalone PS3 game available at these stores (PC version sold at almost half the price!?). Why is that? Sony devs invested in helping to make this port and no marketing costs at all?
What's up with Epic?
