In addition my experience of games like the battlefield series is that they are slow burners. Popular online games sell well long after other games have hit the discount bins.
Now that said, I know next to nothing about Crysis and whether it will have a slow burn effect such as the Battlefield games have had and ETQW will likely have.
It doesn't state where its numbers are from, but they are clearly worldwide. It lists about 46,000 players as being tracked.
Given that this total number is worldwide, I think it gives more reason to think that our Future is still overpriced. For one thing, a decent chunk of that number would be from outside the US...plus you have the usual spectre of piracy (google "crysis pirated" and you'll find over 3 million hits, including stories about the game being on torrent already).
I don't expect this future to end up much higher than Enemy Territory, and could even end up lower.
You have to realize that the gamers who have the ginormous specs to play Crysis would most probably have the capability to take the game online. I also echo Gaara42's request for a link to your claim.
pc games do sell well.....its just that they dont sell as fast as console games i mean bf2 tool 2 months to sell a million copies...so give it time it will sell
and the talk bout quake wars is stupid...when the demo was released a lot of ppl cancelled their preorders cause they did not like the game at all look how well cod4 is selling for the pc....if the patch can improve crysis performance then the game will sell even better
