UT3 not doing too great

Posted on Saturday, 29 December 2007 by Speed, source: AeroPause

Since Unreal Tournament 3 didn't sell all too well during its first weeks after release, people started saying that PC gaming must be dead. Well, guess it's not the end of PC gaming but rather the fact that little people are interested in the game itself.

Aeropause is reporting that the PS3 version of UT3 did slightly better during the first two weeks of release, but not thàt much better.

While I can't consider 110,000 copies of UT3 being sold for the PS3 in it's first two weeks (70,000 Week 1, 40,000 Week 2) fantastic, I will say that it's leaps and bounds better than the reported 39,000 or so sales of the PC version. Tack on the fact that the game sold for an additional $10 on the PS3 and we can assume that to be even a little more gravy for Epic's pork chop.

So indeed the PS3 version is selling better, but the game still doesn't manage to get even in the Top20 of the sales charts...

There have been so many great new games coming out for the PC this fall, I think it just got lost in the shuffle.
