where are these figures from ? are they shipped figures or retail sold ? . I am sure your figures are not telling the whole story here. otherwise EA's 1million claim back in may would imply 600K+ sales in europe and Japan.
This stock is severely overvalued! It only sold 383,000 copies in the U.S. in all of 2007, not the 1 million figure given months ago.
Top 10 selling PC games of 2007 (US): 1. World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade* – Vivendi (Blizzard) – 2.25 million 2. World of Warcraft – Vivendi (Blizzard) – 914K 3. The Sims 2 Seasons Expansion Pack – Electronic Arts – 433K 4. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare* – Activision – 383K 5. Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars* – Electronic Arts – 343K
Has there been a press release regarding C&C3's sales? Usually if they hit one million copies, they would put out a press release. If they haven't hit one million by now, I'd be wary of it ever selling 1.6 million. To my knowledge, this has long fallen off the charts.
Has anyone here calculated a breakdown of the sales that likely went to the PC version? I recall EA put out some numbers for all platforms and we probably have a good guess on the Xbox 360 version. The PC version's sales would obviously be the difference. Huge props for whoever can look this up.
Titles like C&C have always launched at $50. PC Games certainly have budget titles that start lower though. Games like Zoo Tycoon launch at lower prices ($30-40?).
I think expansions have been moving up in price though. I recall a lot of expansions being $30. They seem to be $40 now (WoW:BC), but I may be mistaken.
Hmm. I've always remembered PC games selling at $40 and rarely some at $50. But it seems recently a lot are now at $50 even those that I would not deem AAA. It's been a while since I bought a new release PC game though. I agree about the LE.

this needs to be checked.
