Crysis 2 Most Popular on Xbox 360

Crysis 2 is the latest and greatest first person shooter to have been released in 2011, and recent sales numbers indicate that the game is most popular on the Xbox 360. According to the sales figures the Xbox 360 accounts for 57% of the total sales for the game in its first week.

Crysis 2 is the latest and greatest first person shooter to have been released in 2011, and recent sales numbers indicate that the game is most popular on the Xbox 360. According to the sales figures the Xbox 360 accounts for 57% of the total sales for the game in its first week. The PS3 carved out a modest 29% and the PC version of the game surprisingly only accounted for 14% of the total sales for the game.

Well maybe its not that surprising after all, since these numbers are more than likely not accounting for digital distribution there's no doubt the numbers will look a little skewed. I mean really, who buys boxed versions of PC games anymore anyways? It's so 2005.

PS3 owners have more to play at this time. 360 is getting almost no exclusives in 2011, or at least any good ones. They are all kinect which IMO suck.

  Yea, your right Allen. Let’s not get too cocky though. Infamous 2, Twisted Metal, Uncharted 3, Resistance 3, we’ll be pretty busy.

I agree with IGN, They’ve hit it on the nail.I bought the game for the ps3 after reading a few reviews some minor bad things but i didn’t think much of it and after a hour or 2 iv noticed that the game had, bad shadowing bad frame rate bad AI ect. Enemy’s where inside objects,the game didn’t look crisp ect so i thought for some reason that i could fix the res in the option menu on the game to at least fix one or 2 problems because i quite frankly thought that something was wrong and for those who think it’s my hardware nope, iv got a full Samsung HDTV 1080p With HDMI, ps3 is also set at highest 1080p setting, So i was confused when the cover of the game said best looking console game and i was also confused when people were saying that the game was Great.,Maybe im looking at the details too closely but i honestly think KZ2,Kz3 and gears 3 looks better then this game,maybe it’s just me but i didn’t like the style of the graphic’s,it seemed like they only focused on the small parts of the game, such as the character models for example.I highly recommend you rent it before you buy it,some people seem to like it but i feel like iv just wasted $60 dollar and would trade it for killzone 3 in a second even thought im not a big fan but since all the games i want are coming out till the end of the year, it will hold me till then and please no Fan boy Bullshit, im just here to help people from making the same mistake,next time ill rent before i buy lol : (

  I heard you had to set your system settings to 720P. But it’s still pretty pathetic. I mean, the game is awesome but there are too many problems. And I don’t think there will be any fanboy flame wars since this is a PC game that got ported to console. Maybe that’s the wrong word. Anyway, the PC version still looks the best

im taking a break from shooters and didn’t pick up crysis 2(ps3). Friends are still rocking killzone 3, so they haven’t picked it up either, while others are waiting for mk9 like myself. Why doesnt a game sell more on ps3 sometimes? i think it’s partially cause there are more options in the ps3 catalogue while 360s seems a bit limited in comparison.

I guess it shows what console most people use XBOX 360! Though wasn’t the sony one broken with flaws something commonly seen with such an inferior console.

  I think you’ll find most people are still playing KZ3 on ps3

  I’d rather have hackers that ruin an online game than a console i know i’ll have to replace within a year. Anyday. Plus, people that own 360′s have waaay more time then we do. See, Killzone 3 was released a month ago, as was Marvel vs. Capcom. You only got to play MvC3, and not KZ3. Before KZ3 was released LittleBigPlanet, Mass Effect 2, and Dead Space 2 were released. This month(april), we’ll be getting Socom 4, Motorstorm, and Mortal Kombat. You’ll only be getting M.K. Better games are coming out on PS3 than on Xbox. Sure, Xbox DOES have good games coming out, but 95% of them are on the PS3.

I’ve played Crysis 2 side by side a 360 because my cousin was being an ass. Even he admited that the PS3 was sharper. I was playing on a 46″ HDTV though, he only has a 27″ not sure if that made a difference. Both were using HDMI.

Anyways, both versions are about the same but PS3 owners have way more games coming in 2011, and already out. That’s just the truth. There’s a list out there of all exclusives for 2011 on both PS3 and 360.

The only good game 360 has was GOW 3, and that was speculative at the time. All other 360 exclusives are Kinect Rubbish, NO REAL GAMER LIKES KINECT GAMES. Have fun waving your hands around like a freaking idiot. I’ll be playing great shooters with the move like MAG and Killzone 3.

It takes skill to be good at Killzone 3 with Move. But once you get used to it, it’s hard to go back to a FPS without it. I hope they do make Battlefield 3 Move compatable. Then maybe COD will fall inline.

  There’s framerate problems and ridiculous glitches like the AI in the middle of a car. The PS3 version is clearly inferior but that’s because of Crytek, damn liars.

the frame rate problem exists on 360 too, really unbearable. I play on the 360. I wish there was a setting to lower the texture in the game so at least i can play the game with decent fluidity.
