Future Crytek titles will be multi-platform, no more PC exclusives

I understand Crytek. You could compare Crysis with Oblivion. Both AAA games, although Crysis had even more hype.

Both sold a bit more than 1 mill copies for the PC version.

But Oblivion has in total sold 4.5 million (all platforms included).

Or let's say Assassin's Creed. The PC version will hardly reach even 1 mill. But on all platforms AC sold 6-7 mill already.

That's a huge difference.

Assassin's Creed is

A) a platformer, a genre that doesn't do too well on PC anyway, because people think they can't buy a $20 gamepad
B) buggy
and
C) released on PC half a year (or whatever) after the consoles.

Never really expected it to do well.

I'm surprised about Oblivion though, not that it did bad on PC, it sold well over a million I believe, but that it sold well on consoles...it's not the kind of game I'd expect console players to buy.
