Valve canceled Half-life 2 Black Box. It's a version that's only available to the PC but I feel that it still has some relevance to the PS3 and 360 sales. Basically the Black Box version didn't contain Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2 Episode 1. So as it stands now the only PC version of this game is selling as the whole set, which most of the people who would buy this game already have those two games. This means that the only way for PC users who have the original Half-Life 2 and Episode one are forced to buy from Steam (which is download only). Downloads are usually counted as sales unless the company (in this case: Valve) releases their sales data. I also believe that this could drive sales on the consoles up. There are still a lot of people who don't like the idea of downloading games. Who knows maybe I'm just going in circles. I'm sure someone could argue that this has no bearing on the consoles but I want someone to put it together better than I have. Here's my source:
