Was the obvious result since the X360 version seems to be the only **** one that works properly.

Where the **** is sales indicated? Your **** quote which you did not source says nothing about Crysis 2.

There is one location.

Xbox 57%
PS3 29%
PC 14%


How about you attempt to post 1 sentence without using profanity.

The quote I had was the announcement that EA purchased Crytek. To show people that we should have seen it coming after this announcement.

Your joking right. Do you honestly think with digital downloads we would even come close?

I guess it was false. EA attempted to purchase them but it did not go through I guess.

Which makes this all even worse. This is Crytek's doing and not entirely just EA.

I think everyone would have predicted that Xbox would lead the way, we had the beta and demo, from the sounds of things xbox has overall the best version of the game, and generally it seems xbox owners are the happiest with their purchase.

After reading complains over complains on the pc forums , bugs , notworking sutff , underpowered graphics that look the same as the consolle and no editor I tought well better I buy it for xbox at leat I will play on my 40" TV and not suffer from crashes and other problems , Well I played and was highly disappointed by all the changes they did , yes it feels like the more classic of the consolll games , mix of halo , COD and a bit of fallout 3 vibe ...

They simplified all the things , changed the aliens to loook more like Halo , changed the MP to look more like COD , changed the Nanosuit to suit better the pad options and they trashed anything that was great in cryengine 2 crysis 1 ... so you have no vegetation bending , no procedural destructions , no Parallax map low resolution textures and honestly the lightning seems nothing special if you take the whole game and you compare to the masterpiece that is RDR you can say well the cryengine 3 isn't any better than the Rockstar game engine ... I expected much more , much more , I know that Cryengine coudl make much much more , but why it was done so much less? Simple answer : Consolle ....

Well its officiall all us PC fans can give Crytek a handshake and part ways. It was fun while it lasted. There is no hope for Crysis or Crytek games for that matter. They will never be PC focused again.

Soon we will be showered with overpriced DLC's and late patches. Sandbox 3 will not happen. At most we will get mod tools that just allow modifications of game types.
Why the hell dont they include digital sales in these? I imagine a big chunk of the pc sales are from steam/eadownloader. The pc sales stats are utterly useless if they omit a big part of the sales.

All based on the same source. It's just re-writing of original, not "links to sales"

Anyway:
1) It's just UK sales, NOT world sales.
2) It doesn't include digital sales
3) PC version was a miserable fail, we can't even play multiplayer 90% of time, so I wouldn't be surprised if consoles outrun PC sales. I personally discouraged at least 3 people from buying C2 right now.

The 360 accounts for 57% of Crysis 2's sales, with the PS3 taking 29% and the PC raking in a miserable 14%. Maybe they were too busy torrenting it or something.

I love it when they say this ****. Need I point out that the game first came out a week before release on torrent sites for the consoles? It took 5 days after launch for a working PC crack to be released.

PC sold poorly because the game doesn't work for most people, and with the exception of a lucky few, for those people for whom it does work it's bug-ridden.

How much do you want to bet that console sales will easily double if not triple the pc numbers when all said and done. I am a pc gamer so trust me I don't want to beleive it either but its the harsh reality that we face.

Especially considering that a LOT of people, myself included, are RETURNING the PC version of the game. I not once was able to login to MP servers, even on saturday before I returned it. So I got the xbox version and I must say, despite supposedly only being 720P, it looks JUST AS GOOD if not a bit better than on PC(playing xbox on a 50" Samsung new plasma 600hz), and my PC is a $3000 rig(AMD 1090T 6core liquid cooled 4.0Ghz per, 8GB DDR3-1600RAM, Raptor HDD, DUAL Radeon 6870 1GB Gpu, of which only one is used in Cry2 for ridiculous reasons)

I'm much happier with the xbox version too, aside from lack of antialiasing.

There's no way I'm gonna buy it again for PC, not unless they manage to pull DX11 and highres textures out of their asses

What a piece of **** writer for that article. "Maybe they were too busy torrenting it...." SHUT THE **** UP -_- What a **** joke that fat piece of ****, to insult the community like THAT with a ridiculous assumption.

Anyways, the whole point for moving to consoles for Crytek was so they GET a lot more **** sales. Notice companies like DICE, People Can Fly, Bioware, and etc. They all make PC games and console games. But the main sellers? The console versions! And Crytek knew this. BUT, these companies still care for PC and make PC games (just like Crytek) and the PC versions still give them solid sales and having the loyalty of the community allows for improvements of future games and sequels (the PC community is what the developers mainly talk/read to/off when wanting to know what they should do for their next game and such)

Sandbox Editor 3 is coming in the summer, Crytek will still love the PC (unless they pull an Infinity Ward......BUT, that company is into rubbles now soooo.....yeah....And I doubt they'd do that) and continue to make games for the platform. It's just now that they expanded, they can get lotsa money from consoles and still get some extra money from PC. Oh yeah, and PLUS, this article not really including digital downloads.....umm well see, A LOT OF **** PEOPLE got the game digitally. So for all we know, the sales may be a LOT higher for PC.
