Hi All

Recently there have been talks that pc version of crysis 2 didnt sell well. I recently did some calculations to figure it out.

Recently EA reveals in an invertor conference that Crysis 2 sold 2 million units. Source : http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/05/04/sequels-sell-dragon-age-2-crysis-2-dead-space-2-all-hit-over-2-million-sales.aspx

And according to VGAChatz which does not count PC DD sales, http://gamrreview.vgchartz.com/sales/35003/crysis-2/
Xbox sold 759k units lifetime
PS3 sold 510k units lifetime
PC sold 180k units lifetime.

But these numbers dont add upto 2 million. Also, I am sure EA can does get accurate data regarding pc sales because we have online activations.

So 2million -(759k + 510k + 180K) = 550k in PC DD sales

So total number of pc version sold = 550k+180k = 730k which is more than ps3 version and on par with xbox version

Now if Dx11 patch comes in and we get MAXIMUM textures the sale would further increasing.

So if I were EA and Crytek I would care about pc audience. And I think they are with mod tools and dx11 patch

How do you know the missing numbers are all PC sales? Considering there are 900 people playing Crysis 2 on Steam and 30,000 playing Black Ops right now...I don't think DD was that high.

I don't think Amazon releases it's sales numbers. Console copies could be a part of that.

I'm guessing PC copies accounted for ~400,000 total. 500k tops.

according to crysis 2 stats there are almost more people playing on pc then on xbox. but whats real weird is there is nobody playing on the PS3!!1 Oh lol forgot they got hacked and been down for going to soon be 3 weeks.

Where does it say that?

And no one on PS3 because PSN was hacked by Anonymous...in an attempt to help Geohot

ipwn u forget...console monkeys only buy from gamestop. they are too stupid to know about amazon.
U should also know that ppl on crapbox are waiting for gow3 so they would have ignored crysis 2

Oh cmon'. A silly generalization like that is no proof. Playing on a console doesn't necessarily make you stupid. Maybe they just don't care enough about video games or hardware customization to buy a PC.

I'm sure around half if not more of those missing sales were from console.

If the different between dx11 and dx10 is anything like the different between dx 9/10 I dont curentlly view it as a game seller.

if they dont want the forums to flood with more raging threads, they wont make a half assed port.....they value their reputation

When I look at the online leaderboards, it says it's getting results from over 300,000 players.

Well couldn't you just look at the account statistic on the PC, from the top of my head I think there are like 230k people on the PC leaderboards. Given that each copy of the game is restricted to one account, it would be reasonable to deduce that the total sales figure lies somewhere around there. Give or take for pirates which apparently managed to make a few accounts.

I reckon PC sales were high, but everyone just fell out with the game. Alot of PC guys bought it off the reputation of Crysis and Warhead, they can't un-buy it if they don't like it.

A quality PC-only expansion could save this game and boost PC sales imo. It would have to be PC only, because anything that could fit on consoles just wouldn't be enough.

If the XP leader-board are correct basing on the total players there are about 300,000+ copies sold from PC alone.

crysis 2 proved to be profitable for crytek and continues to sell well on oc. And it was recently on sale from d2d and amazon. I agree a decent free and pc only quality standalone expansion would further increase the sales. Crytek if you like money you would do it

MAybee only 900 gamers are willing to play a **** MP that barely works? It's actually a good MP, but as it is now, with all the PROBLEMS!!! It svcks

The only thing about MP I've found that really svcks are the hackers and cheaters. If they were all beaten to death I'd not shed a tear for them, they deserve it.
