Xbox 360 owners will forget about skyrim a few months in (exactly like they did with Oblivion), PC owners will still be buying the game years from now.

Its true .. Todd Howard even says the number in an interview .. of which I can't recall :/ sorry .. But Oblivion sold far more copies on the 360 than the PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerillaWarlord Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) Honestly I don't care, I'm sure during that time there will be plenty of mods to keep us going and if not who cares its Skyrim I'd love to play that game!

And how convenient that you can't recall the interview. Probably because it doesn't exist. Between boxed and digital sales the PC market for RPGs is easily as strong as the 360 one, if not stronger. Ever heard of steam? One thing is pretty damn sure, if you think that the 360 version will outsell both the PC and the PS3 versions summed up, you live in lala land. Bethesda is easily screwing up way more than half their playerbase. Edited August 26, 2011 by abriael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ready .. I can take it Have anything to back that up? I mean hard data. Oblivion in the first week, out of the 1.7mil sold, 13% were PC sales. I did have some figures much further into it's release. It was clear PC sales remained much more steady over time. I think last count it was 25% total sales and still climbing. but that was years ago. I even had a PS3 figure at one point. If you look some data is out there.

Wasn't oblivion quite a heavy game for most computers back then? I know that my old gaming comp couldn't run it. The people witch comp capable of running skyrim is quite high now, considering that the consoles havn't evolved at all since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a PC gamer but the types like you give PC gamers a bad wrap .. "They owe us" attitude .. I see it with every game release and it gets old fast .. They don't owe you a thing .. They are selling you something and if you have a problem with there practices then don't buy the game .. I get tired of this same topic for ever game release Crysis2 was the last big annoying PC elitist gripe I had to listen to in the forums .. I'm not out to get you ok .. relax .. Its the truth .. PC sales are dwarfed by console sales every time for every game and Tod Howard did say it in an interview and people argued the same thing when he said it .. later to be backed up by a poll.. I'm looking for number now in fact but I don't have them and I'm not digging throuhg the hundreds of todd howard interviews Ive seen in my lifetime so get use to this cause I might not back up my statement .. it doesn't mean I'm lying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
