3.4 million and it didn't meet sales targets. This industry cannot survive with these numbers anymore.
Agreed, they should be budgeting for about 2 million units, it's not like the franchise can be counted on like a COD or Madden. |

More than 12 million sold?
All I was saying is that, while the game seems despised on gaming forums, there are plenty of gamers out there playing it, so I'm assuming they find it fun.
It is hard to argue against that... Fashionable gaming works. |

Now that we know that D3 can be played offline (i.e. Consoles), a "true" gesture of good will would be to patch in an OFFLINE mode for the PC users.
Correct. The right thing now is make Diablo 3 Gold with offline and no-AH. Solved. |

Online Game Fact:
People will flock to the best loot no matter where it is at.
Latest Example:
GW2, every time they make a switch to loot, where the new best loot is, 1/2 the players it seems go straight to it.
MMO Start out like this:
EXP/HR
Once Max'd:
Gold/HR
For a good portion of the base this happens everywhere and they will excel and study it to no end.
So if the best/most convenient loot is in your AH, then it will be the AH instead. |

PS4:
Sony is building its CPU on what it's calling an extended DirectX 11.1+ feature set, including extra debugging support that is not available on PC platforms. This system will also give developers more direct access to the shader pipeline than they had on the PS3 or through DirectX itself. "This is access you're not used to getting on the PC, and as a result you can do a lot more cool things and have a lot more access to the power of the system," Norden said. A low-level API will also let coders talk directly with the hardware in a way that's "much lower-level than DirectX and OpenGL," but still not quite at the driver level.
What's it gonna take to get the advanced features on the PC's DX? A minute, maybe two?
The development environment coders will use is based on Windows 7 and fully integrated with Visual Studio 2010 and 2012, allowing developers to debug PS4 code just like PC code. Tools will include C and C++ front ends that are largely compatible with most standard compilers
Allow for K/M gaming and we'll call it a closed pc. |

Trends are things that happen over time. I still don't get why people keep arguing that a desktop is a better form factor. It sucks. Its only advantage is power. Once that advantage is stripped, it becomes a heavy, immobile, useless piece of crap.
Other than the ability to build your own I don't understand why people love them. If someone offered me a tablet that had the same power as a desktop (today? No. But in a decade? Duh), with HDMI out (or whatever is used), and the ability to connect to my mouse and keyboard then hell, why wouldn't I use it?
Well shit that is why we like it, the power. Sure give me a little ass device that is as powerful as my desktop (same cost or less) and I AM THERE! But they aren't so, that is why they exist. POWER! |

Read the article, it is not just about farmers it is about everyone. If you buy anything, copyright law can prevent you from touching it. -1 for reading comprehension!.
What do you want from me? I told you I just read the blurb and commented. It's not a life's work of mine or anything. |
