fixed that there for you
What does WoW and SW:TOR have to do with dust being a FPS competing with already established FPS titles?
did they change WoW to a fps since i tried a trial a ****ed it off?
-EDIT-
News just in, it's going to be console based when did they release wow on the consoles?
As an avid console player aswell as pc's console gamers dont generaly give a **** about wow!
My point was it HAS to compete with THE MOST succesful console based fps'ers to date.

And his point is that EVE did the same when it came out and is still doing ità
A pc gaming Business model is comparable to a console gaming business model how?

No, it doesn't. CCP said they are going to use the same marketing model as eve with a slow steady buildup of the playerbase so all they really need to do is make sure there are enough players to form a core group to help new players get involved. As long as sov is influanced in a meaningful way that core will be eve players who also happen to have a console which by all accounts is a fairly hefty portion of the playerbase. Also Dust will be updated with new maps and features on a regular basis for free unlike the clone of duty series that tosses in a couple of new maps and some tweaks then charges you full retail for the pleasure of playing it. So as long as CCP get the fps part of the game done right the rest will take care of itself especially as word of mouth and positive reviews come in.
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.

This is what happened to a recent shooter with a micro transaction business model.

you forget the fact that console gamers never stick to one game but move on to the next best thing. I dont know wthat is CCP smoking making a console game. They will get slapped back to reality.
I never i just couldnt be bothered arguing with the fanboi's that it takes more then a slack handfull of players to make a game work.
As a console gamer myself i know how shortlived titles can be.
You just cant drum that into a pig headed fanboi i'm afraid!
