[PC Gamer UK] Crysis sells 3 million through Retail

byardz · Jun 3, 2008

On the latest PC Gamer UK mag, July 2008

PC Gamer Magazine had an exclusive interview with Crytek, where Crytek states Crysis has sold 3 million through retails sales worldwide.

That is a huge success for a game of such high requirements.

This interview can be found on page 27 of the PC Gamer UK Mag

Firstly link... secondly quotes

Now as for what you said... that means they cannot pull the piracy card. it's rubbish anyway as most who pirate would never have bought the damn game.

Any kind of source? I wonder how much of those 3 million people were able to actually play it lol.

3 million is pretty good. i mean we cant compare it to the likes of GTA IV but for a game of such requirements thats alot sold. I bet most people didnt experience the game as it was meant to be played but it'll still remain to be a pc gaming benchmark for years to come. I just think its relation to far cry mustve sold it alot of copies.

people are buying it after they buy new hardware

"Please, I beg of you, don't post a bunch of 'Crysis sucks' or... 'Great graphics, ass gameplay'... or... 'It runs like a slideshow unless you have a $5000 PC' ... or... 'CoD4 looks and runs better'."

"I've heard it before, on every single Crysis thread... and those are just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more Crysis bashing cliches I forgot about."

"It was a really really good game. In fact I think I'll go play my not pirated version right now!"

so much people got screwed over buying a 7950GT/x1950XT "preparing" for crysis. Whats the rush in buying comp hardware anyway? outdates it self in like... 6 months?

of course x1950xt runs bf2, cod4, bioshock etc. just fine.

Erm, sounds like your outta the tech loop a bit

We're talking 8800GT/GTS here - bit more expensive

And I really don't believe it's been 3 million =/

Then again, GTA IV did sell 9 million in comparison

bionh · Jun 4, 2008

shrug, it was a ton of fun for me, and worth the money. played it with 7900gt sli, and i'll play it again on my next computer with all the bells and whistles.

Yeah? what about the people that bought a 8800GTX when they first came out. That card was king for like 1.5yrs

I agree, that isn't always true that hardware always goes outdated after 6 months. If you are smart and buy the right motherboard/PSU and current generation memory than your computer could last a very, very long time as you wont ever have to buy new memory, a new motherboard, a new power supply/dvd drives/HDD's etc....The only thing that you might want to upgrade is your GPU once every year or w/e and lately each CPU cycle has lasted at least 2 years before a new tock gets released that is barely any better than the tick.

Oh...well...alright.

bionh · Jun 4, 2008

crysis brought a ton of gameplay elements to the table that hadn't really been seen before. destructible vegetation/buildings, the suit, open environments, etc.

awdrifter · Jun 4, 2008

If it really sold 3 million on a single platform, that's pretty good. While most here don't like it, multi-platform games are the future. It's simple too expensive to make a game and then just releasing it on a single platform. Some of the multi-platform games I've played is not too bad. Hopefully they will port Crysis to Xbox360 and PS3 so they can make some money, otherwise PC gaming might really die.

RaiDer · Jun 4, 2008

Wow, 3 million people all struggling to run Crysis, epic.

I agree - ENOUGH CRYSIS BASHING - by PC didn't cost $5000 and it runs it great!

TripleC · Jun 4, 2008

Crysis...... It was fun til that cave thing, I hate game with maze, very bad at it. and it makes me tired and frustrated, becoming no fun at all but to trying to beat the game.

anyways I'm one of that 3 Million
