just to say first that i haven't read the whole thread here

I am bit confused. When i was news hunting for HLP i came a cross an article. the article was listing top of the most selling space-sim games in US. Freespace sold over 147 000 copies and came on a fourth place FS2 came on the 5th place with over 87000 copies sold.

My question is if Freespace 2 did really sold that many copies?

Probably both of those numbers are low because usually the sources only count what they have a share in. So other distributors would not be counted. But yes...FreeSpace 2 sold that many...and Descent:FreeSpace sold that many as well. Its not bad....neither game was a complete flop. Mike Kulas said that they broke even on FreeSpace 2....and that was over a year ago. I feel that, if properly advertised and supported, another game would do well.

Something like 300,000 copies is a sucess...but someone correct me on that. I'm just guessing.

Red Faction sold over a million copies I think.

RF did well on PS2, not so well on PC.

Um...Halflife i assure you is the king of FPS, even on the PS2, but that did come after RF, wasnt any competition really. Where as on the PC, you had Max Payne overshadowing it.

Halflife is on PS2...oh

Well then there's TWO good games on PS2 in the FPS genre worth your money. Still...thats compaired to what...like 10-15 in the last year on PC alone...not to mention the fact that I still play Unreal Tournament (TacOps) and some older games.

Yeah.. PS2 has a bunch of PC classic FPS ports now.. games that have been out for at least a year making their way to PS2. Volition beat everyone to the punch by releasing for PS2 first and later on PC. It ended up being a cash cow too.
