but if two big name developers are lamenting poor sales on the PC for two huge games, the rest of the industry is going to look at that as a sign to not even bother with the platform anymore.
Learn to read. Crysis is doing fine. It beat US sales expectations and was number one in Germany. That doesn't sound so bad to me.
The rest of the industry sees that the two biggest money making franchises right now are World of Warcraft and the Sims 2. WoW is raking it in with over 9 million subcribers paying every month. The Sims 2 outsold anything on the 360, PS3, or Wii. Not only that they've put out 6 expansion packs and 7 stuff packs that are also making them lots of money. Nothing on any of the new consoles compare to either one of those games.
From Halo to Halo 3, Microsoft has lost over $7 billion dollars in the console market. The PS3 is also losing money big time. Last quarter Sony's game division lost over $800 million despite the continued success of the PS2 and PSP.
