UT3 PS3 Sales Better Than PC But Still No Killing Spree
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.
I definitely notice the online community for the PS3 version growing by the day. The official UT3 forums are buzzing with PC owners who are begging for PS3/PC shared servers, miffed by supposed empty PC servers. The possiblity of such a move is remote, considering the extended waiting time for patches to be released on the console. I’m still waiting for the first PS3 patch to improve the layout of the in-game and online server menus, along with the whole “Mod Cooking” thing you might have heard about. According to Mark Rein the Sony certification process has slowed things down signifcantly.
So not a fantastic start, but definitely a good one. Even if it was only a lowly 25th on the weekly sales list in it’s first week.
