Assuming this is for the month of November with a Nov. 13th debut and about two weeks worth of sales. http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=8352&Itemid=2 http://www.joystiq.com/2007/12/14/crysis-sales-in-crisis-ut3-gets-fragged-too/ |
Valve's marketing Director Doug Lombardi, on a recent interview on Shacknews: "(...)NPD, god love 'em, they release a US retail sales report, and people take that and say that's the world picture. And it's just not true. It's not like NPD is trying to be evil. Their job is to report North American sales data. They're doing their jobs. But people are taking that and discounting.. in Germany for example, retail sales of PC products crush all other games, with the possible exception of the DS. It certainly kills all of the next-generation consoles.(...)"

And Crysis did sell 1 million copies in 2007, from mid-November to end-of-December: Crysis Comeback: Moves 1 Million Copies.
Not that it matters that much when those sales aren't even Crytek's biggest money maker (hint: Nvidia).
