You do know that the majority of the MMO demographic play MMO's on PC's, yes? The fact is that they released this game for PC first, which more or less invalidates your point. If they developed the game for PC then they were going after the PC demographic.

This game sold over 600,000 PC copies. Do you think it will come anywhere near that amount for PS3? I'm not Nostradamus, but I feel pretty safe saying that the PS3 launch won't see 600,000 copies sell. Yes, I do post a good bit, but that doesn't mean I hate the game. Frankly, you should address the argument in the post instead of the poster, but hey, to each his own. By all objective measurements, this game did fail a year ago. I came back after a year to see how they're doing. It's bearable to play now, and I plan to play, but that doesn't mean I'm going to keep quiet about all the problems I have with the game.

No, your definitly not Nostradamus, cause I am pretty sure that guy could read. You said in your first response to me that no one is going to play this once they start charging. You then turn around and say that you stopped playing for year but came back to try it out. So if your willing to do so, you don't think others are as well? I think this last patch was a significant improvement to the game as a whole and that, given a few more patches like it, this game could easily be turned around. The fact remains, SE has made 2 MMO's now that include both PC and Console players playing together, something that very few (if any) MMO producers try to do. This would indicate to me at least that they see BOTH demographics as equal scources of income. And a good indication that SE isn't trying to encourage new players would be the total lack of advertising as well as the producer saying, multiple times I might add, that the game is still in the process of being redeveloped. And yes actually, I do think this could sell as many copies if not more than the PC version did. I talk to players and see posts all the time about people still waiting for this to hit the Ps3 so they can play with their friends. Time will tell I guess, but just because I don't work for SE doesn't mean I can't deduce from blatant evidence what their current intention is.

Edit: And when I say advertising, I mean internet adds. I certainly don't have any delusion about this suddenly blowing up all over TV.
