Midway Games has today confirmed that Unreal Tournament 3 for PlayStation 3 will hit store shelves across Europe on Friday February 22.
The imminent availability of the PS3 version across Europe follows a successful worldwide launch of the PC version and PS3 version in North America. Including the North American PS3 release the game has shipped over 1.2 million units worldwide and this figure is sure to rise thanks to European sales.

Well, depending on whom you like to believe, SW sales in Germany (gaming) the PC is 30-50% of the market. In France and uk its less. I think there are only 3 big PC nations in the world at the moment: Germany, Sweden and the Asiatic one.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 112 ]bids

I see. Thanks for the info. Isn't Germany PC land ? Will the PS3 version enjoy good sales in Germany (in spite of PC dominance) ?
Anyway, I am only contributing what I could to this topic. I have decided to stay away from this stock, since the margin is not good (could be even worse than 20% based on your input), and because I stay away from GLS stock. I will unload my small investment in this game stock over the next few days.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

Sorry, but in Europe the game will sell better than in the US. The PS3 gets more support here, and UT is a big franchise, at least in Germany (so I guess also in the rest of the EU.)[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 112 ]bids

I do not follow Europe closely, I only follow Japan and US, since the data is more regular and transparent. I do agree that there are more PS2 in Europe, but we are talking PS3 here. PS3 sales in Europe is way smaller than PS2, but still higher than X360 (if we count selling rate from launch date, not LTD, since IIRC, PS3 LTD in Europe is still less than X360 LTD).
I did take into account all sales we'll still see in the US : "113K (Dec, 4 weeks sales) + 66K (Jan, 50% of Dec) + 170K (sales for remaining life) = 340K."
Do you see the 170K (sales for remaining life). That is sales for Feb - end of life of UT3 (PS3), in US.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

Actually Europe is PS land, there were more PS2's sold in Europe than in the US despite the US being a larger market as a whole. I wouldn't be surprised to see more sales in Europe than we see in the US, plus you need to take into account all the sales we'll still see in the US.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 122 ]bids

1apujanata posted on Unreal Tournament 3 (PS3) at 4:53PM PST on February 20, 2008. RE: UT3 has shipped over 1.2m units@Just_Ben,
IF we take Europe into account, then let's be generous and asssume that Europe GLS = US GLS (I don't think Japan GLS will be big, so I will just assume 50K, max).
Total = 340K (US) + 340K (Europe) + 50K (Japan) = 830K. This means the stock is much less attractive (only 20%+ profit margin, instead of 50%+ margin).
Anyone has Europe vs US figure for games in the same type as UT3, that we can use as comparison ? I think the 340K Europe figure is too shaky.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

None of the points you brought up, nor the evidence provided by Zukaus caused my statements to be wrong.
Keep in mind that we are looking at lifetime sales on this stock, not end of March sales, we still have a very long time for things to sell and this game is still relatively new.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 122 ]bids

2 Million shipped doesn't seem that horrible to me. It had some massive competition from games like Halo 3 and CoD4, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a fair amount of sales off of this game, especially with the upcoming European Launch of the PS3 version of the game.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 122 ]bids

Based on your evidence, then pilias_simber'sm statement "We know that the PS3 version did less than 376k in Nov and less than 612k in december. We also know it did less than 132k in Jan" are wrong on this following part :
- UT3 PS3 is only released on Dec 11, so no Nov sales.
- UT3 PS3 Dec 08 is way, way below his "Less than 612K" (actual is 113K).
What we usually know is : Dec sales are usually way above Jan - March Sales. Therefore, my calculation is :
113K (Dec, 4 weeks sales) + 66K (Jan, 50% of Dec) + 170K (sales for remaining life) = 340K. That means this stock is way, way overvalued at the current price of 104.81.
Who drove this stock price to 1.23 Million yesterday ? With over 50% Margin of Safety, this stock sure looks interesting :D[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids
1Mushashi posted on Unreal Tournament 3 (PS3) at 2:50AM PST on February 20, 2008. RE: UT3 has shipped over 1.2m unitsThe price rise on this game is too much overreaction in my opinion, especially the PC version. 1.2 million units shipped is split between worldwide PC shipments and NA PS3 shipments, I guess 400K PS3 and 800K for worldwide PC shipments.
I do not believe sellthrough of this title has been very good, it has only appeared in the German PC chart 2 times since launch, while Crysis and CoD4 have regularly appeared in the chart, and CoD4 PC version has appeared in many European country charts. We also know that CoD4 was best selling PC game in Europe last quarter (from Activision financial statement about sellthrough of CoD4), and online activity for this game is very low for such a game.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 5 ]bids

Part of that 1 million sales also includes Digital Downloads as is stated specifically in the articles covering it.
Considering we don't have data yes my figures are guesswork. I don't know if you're purposely missing that when I repeat it over and over again or just misunderstanding me, we don't HAVE actual sales data, thats kinda why we're trying to determine what they may be based on other evidence, I don't know why you keep asking if the numbers are guesswork again and again.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 122 ]bids

IIRC, German is PC Land (means PC games sales are way above console games sales). I think a lot of Europe's PC games sales come from German.
Since we are talking about Unreal Tournament, I believe most (50% plus) of the games sales are on PC. Most of my friend play them on PC, not on console. Keyboard + mouse is way better than gamepad (in my friends opinion). Since I did not play Unreal Tournament, all the info in this paragraph is based on input from my friend :D[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

I notice you missed the data about Crysis European sales. While Crysis only sold 86,000 in the US in November, the game had sold 1 million by the end of January. It seems pretty obvious that most of those sales came from Europe.
Given that we have two examples (Crysis, Quake Wars) where the vast majority of PC sales came from outside the US, why are you assuming that the PS3 version sold more?
I really don't see where your logic is in this post. You throw out a few numbers on US PC sales, and then (seemingly at random) pull out a number of 400k for UT3 sales. Where did that come from? It looks like pure guesswork.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 182 ]bids

Unless some evidence can be provided that digital downloads are being included in shipped numbers I'm going to go off the assumption that they are not counting for shipped numbers.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 122 ]bids
1pilias_simber posted on Unreal Tournament 3 (PS3) at 2:05PM PST on February 19, 2008. RE: UT3 has shipped over 1.2m units@Laoldar,
we have the following sales data:
UT3 did 34k on the PC in November in the US
Crysis did 86k in the same market as the same time.
Quake Wars has done about 25k sales in the US on the PC vs 200k globally.
Using all of that data we can estimate about 400k sales of the PC version with ~340k of that coming from Europe and 60k coming from the US. Assuming 25% of the total stock shipped remains unsold would mean 900k has been sold so far between the PS3 and PC version, which leaves 500k sales for the PS3 version.
Regarding lifetime sales, considering we've already had 1 Christmas with this title out I would conservatively guesstimate that on top of everything shipped so far, we'll see another 1.2 million shipped to the same markets on top of additional sales for the PS3 in Europe.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 122 ]bids
2lstormy10 posted on Unreal Tournament 3 (PS3) at 1:47PM PST on February 19, 2008. RE: UT3 has shipped over 1.2m units@pilias_simber,
Shipped numbers for PC games in the US are not as low as you believe - though yes, I believe that PC games these days tend to ship less to retailers than console titles (not necessarily true for all console and PC titles though).
Also, I don't see why Midway wouldn't include digital distribution sales with their shipped number because it would only make them look better through better numbers (and they haven't been having the best times as of late). What Midway's policy is to as to reporting numbers and what those numbers actually mean is something that I do not know and if anyone else does, that would be nice to know.

Ok then, what FPS games have sales numbers for Europe vs sales in US? How about FPS sales of console vs PC in US?

Again, those specific numbers do not exist.
So this discussion will inevitably devolve to (and stay at) a point where you have to go with your gut...and I doubt anyone will change their mind at that point.
We don't have sales numbers for Europe, period. We don't have reliable US PC game sales (outside of monthly futures) either. Heck, we don't even have the US PS3 numbers. So this discussion is stuck because we only have the one total number and no possible way to divide it up.
Maybe if a publisher releases platform specific info (say, lifetime COD4 sales worldwide), then we can revisit this...[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 182 ]bids
1pilias_simber posted on Unreal Tournament 3 (PS3) at 1:22PM PST on February 19, 2008. RE: UT3 has shipped over 1.2m units@Laoldar,
We have a fair idea based on sales info we have from other games. IMO gamers who pirate software do not count as gamers as far as this discussion goes, and as far as digital downloads go it's not even relevant to the conversation of how many copies sold of the PS3 vs the PC.
Here is what we do know.
Shipped numbers for PC games are lower than PS3 games, shipped numbers for PC games in the US are extremely low.
We know that 1.2 million copies have been shipped in the US and PC copies in Europe.
so the question is, how many copies of games, namely FPS games, do we usually see shipped between the US and Europe for PC games compared to US PS3?
On top of that you have to question how many more copies you think the PS3 version will ship in Europe when it launches, as well as how many more copies will ship for the rest of the game's life.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 122 ]bids

You're not really asking about gamers then, you're asking about sales numbers...and we've already established that none exist and this is a pure guessing game as to how that 1.2 million is divided.

Are there more? You must be joking. There are easily more PC gamers than ~4 million PS3 owners in North America. Heck, there are EASILY more PC gamers than PS3 gamers in the US, but of course no one tracks PC sales to gamers (how could they?). Besides, the number of PC gamers really has no relation to game sales because the PC game market is incredibly fragmented and plagued by piracy.
How many are buying UT3? I have no clue. I just think it's crazy to think that only 4 million PC gamers exist when there are probably almost that many playing World of Warcraft in US/Europe alone, nevermind other games.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 182 ]bids

Are you trying to argue that there are more PC gamers in the US and Europe combined than the install base of the PS3 in the US? I'd say based on past sales that they are roughly even if not more PS3 owners in the US than PC gamers in the US and Europe.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 122 ]bids

2pilias_simber posted on Unreal Tournament 3 (PS3) at 12:39PM PST on February 19, 2008. RE: UT3 has shipped over 1.2m units@Laoldar,
We know that the PS3 version did less than 376k in Nov and less than 612k in december.
We also know it did less than 132k in Jan.
As far as I'm aware this is the first time we've had any indication whatsoever about exactly how much it's doing, but considering collectively that would put the PS3 sales at less than 1,118k in the US I think theres plenty of room for speculation on this one.
Basically, we haven't had any reports that it's not doing well, I think that 1.2 million shipped is higher than many were speculating.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 122 ]bids

We've had a few examples of how we vastly underestimate PC sales (such as Crysis), but I don't see any reason to think that a PS3 game would completely slip under the radar (though it did have an unfortunate release date).[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 182 ]bids

In a 1.2 million shipped statement there is no account for digital downloads, which would lend even stronger argument to more than 50% of those sales being from the PS3.
I would argue that out of 1.2 million shipped so far, a minimum of 750k have to be for the PS3 version of the game.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 122 ]bids

They are still sales of the title and in a GLS, that would include digital sales of a game as publishers/developers know these numbers and are most of the times included in their press releases. Digital distribution sales are tracked and recorded - just not in a way that is freely available to the public via NPD numbers. NPD futures would not include digital sales as they are not tracked by NPD, but GLS stocks would because they are still sales of a title.[ Oracle ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 294 ]bids

Not my point, I was merely contradicting your statement that U.S. PC sales are pathetic and that the NPD numbers are not highly reflective of PC game sales because of not including digital distribution in their numbers. I wouldn't think that "shipped" would include digital distribution sales, but if they wanted to increase the number to make it seem more impressive, then I could see a company doing it - though, I don't have an opinion one way or the other directly related to UT3.[ Oracle ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 294 ]bids

You're right I misread that.
Doesn't change the fact that PC game sales are minimal compared to Console Sales. PC game sales are higher in Europe than in the US, but Console Sales in Europe are still higher than PC game sales, we know that, plus we also know that PS3 games sell relatively better in Europe than they do in the US.
This title has already shipped 1.2 million copies in 4 months, I don't think it's unreasonable to say it could do another 2.5 million between the PC and PS3 with the upcoming European launch, even dividing that up 50/50, which I think is being extremely generous to the PC would make this stock drastically undervalued.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 122 ]bids

Why do you think the majority of them were sold on the PC? Traditionally the PC version of a game, especially FPS sell roughly 20% of less of the total volume of a game in it's lifetime, with the majority of that coming from PC sales in Europe.

but they wouldnt ship that much unless there was a demand for most of it, initial shipments probably would have been in the 500,000 region im guessing, so if theyve had to ship more its obvious that the game is selling reasonably well. what with sales from europe to come i can see this game easily going above and beyond the current prediction, hence why im long on it.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 150 ]bids

They might not sell at full retail price, but eventually they do get sold, retailers don't just trash games if they don't sell at $60, they drop the price until they are sold. There might not be 1.2 million people willing to buy it at $60, but there are 1.2 million people who will buy it, the question is how much do retailers have to drop the price to get the rest of the inventory sold, and how long will it continue to sell decently at $60 causing them to order additional copies raising the shipped number.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 122 ]bids

Things only sell if you have enough customers willing to buy the product. If there just aren't 1.2 million people out there willing to buy UT3 (PS3), it doesn't matter that the publisher shipped 1.2 million copies. This is the case with any product.

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?
