Which platform will be "more popular"?

Post » Wed Dec 07, 2011 6:44 pm

I ask this because I bought this game for 360 (pre-ordered), but now I am worried I should have got it for PC. I already put all $64.37 down on it though, so it's all payed off. Will the 360 version svck compared to PC? I just can't get into PC games as much, I love sitting back and relaxing with a controller instead of tensed up in a chair on the PC where I have little to no friends on PC to play with.

What do you guys think as far as which platform will be more popular? Will there still be a lot of 360 players?

Thanks in advance.

360 will be the most popular, no doubt. Console sales are always higher than PC sales, and with PSN down, PS3 sales will take a huge hit. I'd say, at least in the beginning, 360 will sell more than PC and PS3 combined.

Pretty sure Gamestop lets you transfer your preorders over to different systems if you want to.

Also, yeah, I'd say 360 will be the most popular, but it's not like you'd have trouble finding matches or anything on PS3 and PC.

I also got the copy on my 360. Sure the PC has dedicated servers and what not. Its not a big ordeal for me because little problems don't bother me. Plus with the Day 1 patch for 360, it should make things a lot more better. There should be a lot of 360 players. Hey whats your GT?

I think the PSN is reestablished to be free soon and will have more fans, just a matter of time, of course, everyone who has a 360 says otherwise

The xbox has reportedly the most pre-orders and will be the most popular, I'd say the reason behind this is cause most people prefer to play on their consoles either cause of friends, or maybe even those people who have both a 360 and a PS3 don't want to wait to play online.

EDIT: Txomin is right about the PSN and 360 users :P.

And yea, thank you all for replying. I feel a little bit better about my purchase. It's just that PC has better graphics and is in many ways 'better', but I like the fact that I have more friends and it's more relaxing on 360 and stuff.

As long as the game is fun, I'm fine with the 360 version. Hearing that it is slightly in the lead for top sales, makes me feel so much better.

Thank you again all.

The simple reason as to why 360 game sales are more popular than PC game sales is because most people can't afford to build a gaming PC but can afford a new XBOX 360. So you're right, you'll prolly have more friends that play on 360. This is obviously not the case for everyone though.

Yeah, thats true, I don't exactly have the money or knowledge to build a proper gaming PC, but I've always liked console gaming more, simply because I grew up with several consoles.

Yeah I had a 360 until I wanted to try MMO's, the only thing I have to switch out based on what games I play is the type of mouse I use.

I'm on XBOX, but the only reason I didn't buy for PC was because I like to have my game spread out. (Brink for XBOX, BF3 and MMORPG's on PC)

360 will no doubt be the most popular off the bat, simply because it's the most common system right now. The PC requirements for the game will make it difficult for your average person to play on it, so it's typically the hardcoe PC players that will get the most enjoyment for it. PS3 will have a few problems at first with the network being down right now, but also there are still more people who own the 360.

Long term, however, it tends to be PC communities that keep a game going, though that's just history talking and can still surprise us (assuming any future MS console is backwards compatible). Either way, it'll come down to what your friends have, and if you have none (my sympathies), then it's all about what you prefer to play FPS's on.

360 simply because PSN is down (I am sorry for all you who are suffering) and because a gaming PC cost more than a 4GB Xbox.

I honestly believe PC will be the more popular platform.

I, however, have both 360, and PC pre-ordered (and PC pre-loaded)

I really am starting to wish I got it for PC, but I'm not going to spend $110 for both...
