Crysis sales in crisis; UT3 gets fragged too
Holding hands with Crysis is Epic's Unreal Tournament 3 which sold an even more disappointing 33,995 units following its Nov. 19 release. Although not a pixel pushing monster on the level of say, oh ... Crysis, the Unreal Engine 3 game is still a beast in an already crowded genre. At the very least UT3 will make up some sales with the recently released PS3 version and the future Xbox 360 version.
We're ready for that Crysis console announcement whenever you are, EA.

next time, make a game thats PLAYABLE without having to drop an extra $1000.
But seriously, I am interested in seeing if UT3 for the 360 has any drastic differences in terms of sales, after seeing this.

the average consumer and the casual are the ones that buy games, the hard core don't generally, unless there is no option to play online without purchase. thats why I think Steam is a very important step in the PC game industry.
plus a lot of people wouldn't buy crysis anyway, since their comps can't run it too well, but if it's free they'll suffer through some stuttering for the experience
On low settings, Crysis looks better than Halo-- there, I said it, fuckers-- and can run on just about any recent PC with a decent graphics card. On medium settings, it looks better than almost any other PC game, and can run at 60+ FPS on just about any gaming rig. For those who want to spend the money: on high, it is unrivaled, and on very high, it is unrivaled for another year or so. It's the best possible way they could have done it.

Between Master Chief, the Modern Army and Gordon Freeman's troupe, who has time for anything else?
If only UT waited until 2008...if only Crysis waited until....uh, 2010.

Look to Halo 3 and COD4 to find out if people are 'bored' with FPS.....they aren't...
