PS: if CCP manages to hook up 100-300k of the whole FPS-Console crowd (counted in millions) then they will have succeeded
PPS: they did achieve this for the MMO-PC crowd support Public Idea Tracker | 24hr PLEX |

Originally by: General Domination its a great idea, pretty innovative. There are only two problems I see for this game, which are
1. the microtransaction model 2. its only for consoles 3. maybe the leak of dedicated servers
1) what does it bother you playing Eve:SS? 2) CCP want to broaden their CUSTOMER BASE, not cannibalise their own customer base. 3) what does it bother you playing Eve:SS? support Public Idea Tracker | 24hr PLEX |

Originally by: Ohanka its not for PC so its gonna fail, on the whole console players have no patience for tactics and so forth and have never even heard of eve, they'd rather play the next CoD game.
Hey.. you must be rich in real life. You can replace whole marketing research departments and marketing companies. Blizzard/Sony/Nintendo surely set their head-hunters in motion to find you.
I mean I would somehow take you 'I-know-it-better'-guys seriously if CCP were the 10th company to take a stab at it and all attempts so far have failed.. support Public Idea Tracker | 24hr PLEX |

Originally by: knickersoffalot *snip* So selling a couple of hundred thousand copies is good?
Quote: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 sold an 1.23 million units,
UK alone. Quote: Halo Reach - the exclusive XBox 360 title released in September - sold more than 300,000 copies on its launch day,
Quote: Call of Duty: Black Ops hauled in $360 million worldwide in its first 24 hours of release, reports Activision Blizzard.
So i say again a couple of hundred thousand copies total will be good how?
-edit-
Dont get me wrong i am not trying to kick CCP but saying it does not have to compete with the other console titles is bloody ludicrous.
CCP is a small business with around 300 employees and a customer base of around 330.000 active accounts (QEN 3/2010). Compared with WoW or SW:TOR or the whole cake of the MMO market that is a very small piece. Now look at CCP and how they do. From what I can see they're doing great with this kind of market share. If CCP would grow any faster the company would probably shred itself to pieces, as the structure to manage this kind of thing doesn't grow over night..
My assumption thus is simple: if Dust manages a similar piece of active subscriber accounts from the Console-FPS-Market cake, then CCP did good and will be fine. It doesn't need to achieve the numbers of CoD or Halo to be successful for CCP. support Public Idea Tracker | 24hr PLEX |

Originally by: Dante Marcellus 1. What will CCP do when the next console comes out?
Port the game to the new console? CCP probably never thought of that. I'm sure they are totally unaware. Why is that even a problem, doom&gloom says the game wont have any customers 2-3 months after launch.
Originally by: Dante Marcellus 2. Will console players have the attention span and/or drive to keep playing DUST 514?
Well, I'm sure the majority wont. Let me ask you another question.. Do PC-MMO-Players like PvP games where you can full-loot?
Originally by: Dante Marcellus 3. How will the random average smacktard Joe react to a cash shop in this shiny new FPS he/she purchased?
Really no idea. Somebody will have to run a trial to find out I guess  support Public Idea Tracker | 24hr PLEX |
