Perhaps this can be considered a lesson for game developers eager to deliver tomorrow’s game technology today: Crysis hit the PC market with an exoskeleton-enhanced thud. The critically praised — but processing intensive — title sold a disappointing 86,633 units in the States following its Nov. 13 release.
Holding hands with Crysis is Epic’s Unreal Tournament 3 which sold an even more disappointing 33,995 units following its Nov. 19 release. Although not a pixel pushing monster on the level of say, oh … Crysis, the Unreal Engine 3 game is still a beast in an already crowded genre. At the very least UT3 will make up some sales with the recently released PS3 version and the future Xbox 360 version.
