Forums - Sony - Why hasn't Half Life 2:The Orange Box sold well at all in the US on the PS3?

It has sold only @ 79,000 copies in the US. Does anyone like team fortress 2 online mode? The 360 version has sold pretty decent but it has a bigger install base though.

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.


ioi + 1

1. Those games are naturally better on PC
2. It was released after both PC and 360 version
3. People overblow the problems in it, making it sound unplayable



how much for the Xbox360 version ?

and I tought the Orange box (PS3) sold 300k ??

any link plz ?



Time to Work !

Because half life 2 is a game that has been out for years. Well the first episode anyway. The orange box came out for pc and 360 before ps3 and most people who wanted it got it.

releasing later than other platforms first + horrible ports + UTIII releasing together

I blame EA for it.

Releasing a game behind schedule after the advertising and the hype has faded tends to seriously hurt the games sales, such as Stranglehold. PS3 owners obviously were buying some things over the holidays, such as Call of Duty 4 and Assassin's Creed, so that is the reason I cite. People also talked about the PS3 version being gimped, so some might have skipped it that would have otherwise got it.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
