He just said that it was the fastest selling UT of all time. Doesn't that let you know that it's selling faster than 2k4 and will be on it's way to catch up to it soon?
No it doesn't ... did you understand what point he was making ... take away console sales and compare the PC only UT2k4 against the PC version of UT3 ... if you look at those sales it is quite a different story. And as I have said previously the NPD numbers combined with the amount of online activity show that Jeff's statement does NOT extend to the PC only version of UT3. If the PC version of UT3 has done better than we would all know about it ... come on ... you guys don't know Epic well enough by now to know they would be talking it up big time?
But yeah if you take the fact that UT3 will soon be on THREE platforms its not to difficult to see that it will be the biggest selling UT ever ... but so what ... what does that really mean to PC users is the issue here (at least from what I gather). Does it mean that in the future the PC version will actually be better because there will be more money available for its development or does it mean that since the PC is the weakest of the three in terms of sales it is going to be scrapped or severely reduced to mainly a mod dev platform. Oh and I know the 360 version is not out yet but there is no doubt that once it hits it will do much better than the PC version. It will probably move 100K in its first week alone if not more.
There are definitely a few folks who did that ... as well as the ones who couldn't afford a major PC upgrade but already had a PS3 and also the ones who went out and bought the console just to play this game (also in anticipation of MGS4, KZ2, Haze, GoW III, SC IV w/Darth Vader, other exclusives).
