Forums - Sales - Can DC Universe Online be a PS3 system seller?

TheWon on 19 February 2011

Moving only 195,000k in 19 days for the month of Jan. The PS3 still comes in last by at least 50,000. No it is not a system seller. 



 

Just because someone is saying something different. Doesn't mean their point of view is right!

Why would you play a MMORPG on console? O_o Of course if you already have the console and your PC is ass i can see why. But you don't buy a console for a MMORPG imo. So no, might be able to sell some units though.

I have to admit, I'm a little skeptical of digital sales being THAT strong.  Not specifically for this game, but in general.  For sales to be about the same across platforms, PC digital distribution sales would have to exceed PC retail sales.  That seems... optimistic.  Is digital distribution already that strong already?  I'd love that to be the case, don't get me wrong.  I knew it was on the rise, but this would be a little more than "on the rise."

I know there have been statements of the player base being roughly equal on each platform, but couldn't that instead just mean that a bunch of PS3 purchasers stopped playing it almost immediately?

It's an MMO I would expect digial sales to outdo physical on pc for an MMO
