@sagexsdx, the only numbers we got are VGC for this...its showing 360k globally right now. This seems consistent with the 1 million shipped for PC and PS3 number in the press release. The stock looks to be over priced.
A patch for the PS3 version of Unreal Tournament is coming to the PSN on March 27.
The fixes included in the free, downloadable patch include support for character mods, an easier method for downloading mods from the web browser, and basically a lot of other stuff related to mods (in addition to some other incidental tech fixes). The patch will also bring the European and U.S. editions of the game into alignment, allowing for online matches across the Atlantic.
The author of this article did not bother to even check the source he cites, which is Midway financial announcement at voodooextreme
"Unreal Tournament 3 for the PC and the PS3, have now shipped over a million units total. While it may seem the PC market is slowing as indicated by NPD sales for this title. That is not the case internationally, where PC sales continues strong in a number of markets."
Cliflls Bleszinski, lead game designer over at Epic Games, has recently come under fire for saying that PC gaming is in a state of "disarray" right after the supposed poor sales of Unreal Tournament III..However, according to publisher Midway, Unreal Tournament III has managed to sell over 1 million units across the PC and PS3 platforms.
The article says UT3 has shipped 1.2 million units for the PS3 and PC combined. We are forecasting about 1.7 million units for those 2 platforms. Doesn't reorders amounting to 41% of the total shipped already seem a bit high for this title?
Unreal Tournament 3 topped the playstation 3 sales in the UK last week. It also came 9th on the overall software sales - that was including the pc sales.
