Actualy i would say possibly xbox Ps3 then pc. pc is only last in my opinon because the cost to get a computer up and running for good visuals and good Frames isnt to cheap. xbox is cheap and good online ps3 is like the same as xbox but not such a good online comunity.

Pc since crysis was pc exclusive it already has a community of fans whereas consoles don't but we will see in due time.

Combine PS3 and 360. I would say PC would have more players, but consoles would have higher sales because of piracy on PC.

I would like to think PC... and I am sure it will have extreamly big sales for PC... but lets face it... it's going to be the xbox360 that gets the most... Crytek are really hitting the Xbox market with Crysis 2 more than the PC market (there loyal fans) and the Xbox360 has to be the most mainstream gaming platform out of the 3.

and yes... Piracy really doesn't help the PC market at all...

i would say xbox first then pc and ps3... sure it was exclusive to pc, but it wasnt that huge of a game, and know that its going multiplatform ea is sure to show lots of things before it release to get its hype up, and aloottt of people have an xbox... o i have a ps3 so dont worry im not an xbox fanboy just stating what i think will sell the most :)

Depends. If you ignore marketing (i.e. as much market as Crysis 1), then it would sell the best on PC. However, due to the insane marketing EA is doing (which isnt a bad thing), the Xbox beta, 3d support, etc, chances are it will do very well on the consoles.

Basically, IMO Xbox, then PC or PS3. Not sure about those two.

We still have over half a year to go till it's release so it could be anything but I am really shock people said the 360 since crytek did once say the ps3 was slightly better. And I said pc second because crytek is a "pc" company and I am pretty sure they won't let us down. Finally xbox 360 the halo call of duty fanboy console I am pretty sure not a lot of xbox owners know about crysis and from statistics I'm sure more pc gamers have a ps3 then a 360. But then again ps3 version of crysis 2 does interfere with killzone 3 and there might be problems there so it's really hard to choose. Crymods any preorder figures yet?

^^ forget what I said about the xbox I had done no research on it so most of what I said was wrong. But for some reason my gut says ps3 will sell more :) but I did order the nano for the pc FYI.

At the beginning definetely PC. I hope EA gices the game allot of good air time with awesome commercials and more, its the only way people will see the games awesomeness and get away from all the other FPS coming out now !

People who pirate games werent really going to buy the game anyway, so it doesn't affect sales much.

I think that the 360 version will get the most sales, mainly because its the most mainstream platform out there.

Id much rather get it for PC

i think we'll have a bunch of pc sales initially, but if the game is good (which would really depend on if the pc players think it is), then the word will probably go around and if thats the case, id say 360 will end up being the most.

the 360 will. because it has the most players, the most advertising and between them all, the most expendable income.

I guarentee that the crysis commercials towards march will have the 360 logo at the end, absolutely guarentee you.

The PC version will sell extremely well, especially if crytek release a demo. Sure, some people will pirate it (although steam implementation would be extremely beneficial, especially since games like civilization and f1 2010 have both locked down online multiplayer so extraordinarily well with steam), but piracy isn't as bad on PC as people like to believe, more 360's are hacked than torrents downloaded. So judging by BC2, crysis 2 should have a target audience of around 3m PC players minimum.

The ps3 will also sell well, but without the advertising the 360 recieves it's unlikely as many players will pick it up.

So overall i'd say 360>PC>ps3 with around 1m sales difference between the 360 and ps3.

But, as we all know, pc gaming is dead right? so surely it'd only sell 10k copies XD (hehe, got to love the head of the 360 dev team getting all pissy because pretty much all the 360 exclusives have been tied with the PC and the 360 has never really been allowed MMO's because of M$, so i guess he just wanted to vent and state some stuff he read 2 years ago).

even if xbox 360 and ps3 get more sales it doesn't matter 'cause we will always be better than them ;). To those people who don't see the wink it is a joke so don't have a go at me being a fanboy

I hate you guys jp. But really you guys despise the xbox 360 but still think it will sell more? Just wondering why Crytek is marketing the 360 right now? It's because it probably has less preorders then the other two. Also Gears of war 3 is going to interfere with crysis 2 because both are due in for the same month... almost gears release is in april but crysis is late march.

GoW3 got a major delay, so it'll be november 2011 now as far as i know. Plus we know the 360 will sell more because it's the biggest console in terms of sales. We despise it because it's the least innovative, has the worst tech and the exclusives are evaporating. Basically, microsoft as a whole are getting bored of their pet project and are slowly returning to their pc gaming roots, leaving the console segment to fend for itself.

If you ever need proof of that, just look at 2006 and the list of exclusives to the xbox, by 2008 that list had shrunk dramatically, with most of them being 'microsoft exclusives' as opposed to 'xbox exclusives', plus with all the news of the xbox 720 only appearing in 2015 as a digital download only console, we can only conclude that m$ doesn't give a rats ass any more now that windows 7 took off.

I would have to agree with you but think about it, all those people who couldn't afford a high spec computer to play Crysis one will suddenly flood the market on consoles, but we shall see

They'd be flooding it out of ignorance though, crysis 2 will be less demanding than the oirginal, and hardware is around 5x more powerful now.
