This stock is getting a bit dated...but I'm not sure how accurate the price is given the recent pc game sales data we've received showing that pc games do not sell all that well anymore. Has anyone seen any hard numbers for this title? Even first month US sales?
I think the high system reqs really hurt this game. It dropped from the charts soon after release and I've never seen it come back up, even with better computers becoming available. I have strong doubts this game will ever sell 1 million copies.
Supreme Commander will soon have a $5,000 Tournment and intel will be giving away products some valued at $5,000 this is the largest Tournament in Supreme Commander History and after that tournament there will be a $10,000 Tournament so thats alot of cashing flying around. and the Expansion for Supcom Can Be Expected Late this year.
I'm disappointed that Supreme Commander opened at #4 for February, but it is only lead by WoW:BC, WoW, and a new Sims 2 expansion.
We know that WoW:BC sold 141,000 units in February, so Supreme Commander is somewhere below that.
I think this is a game that may pick up over time as people get better hardware, but the online community has to maintain momentum in this period or people will have decreasing incentives to pick this up later. Good PC games tend to sell consistently over time (as the top games according to NPD have all been out for a while).
