how is 1.1m for two console ports bad?
Not even talking about the genre or history of the franchise, which is very PC-centric. I'm pretty sure they knew that it wouldn't sell a couple of millions on each console.
PC sales might very well be bigger than both console versions combined, but I doubt it's so much higher that the console versions appeared dispensable in comparison.


I didn't say it was bad.  I said it was "average".  

And 1.1m in 3 years, with a large amount of those being at discounted prices seeing as it sold 114k in its first NPD (which includes physical PC sales, although I imagine they're not much) is pretty average.

In any event, I was responding to "sold [...] quite well on consoles".  I can see why they're not rushing out to stick it on consoles from the get-go, although I could see ports coming later.

it should've said "sold [...] quite well on consoles considering the type of game it is", but I thought that would be too obvious.
For any FPS with a big PC history (such as STALKER or Metro) I would've agreed that these would be average sales compared to the potential they had.
