Just curious on how much money half life 2 made on its launch date (or to date). I know halo 2 made an incredible amount of money.

I have no idea. However they do expect to have a very large amount. More Halo2 + Far Cry got together.

More than Halo 2? Dunno, I would have thought a hyped console game would beat a hyped PC game in sales figures.

Not saying you're wrong, but can I ask why? I don't follow, being as there's a hell of a lot more PC users around the world than Xbox ...

because console games are simple, buy it, pop it in, play it. Pc games require the right hardware etc and can often be out of reach for a lot of people

PC Users or PC Gamers?

I could possibly be wrong, but the only way I can think of putting it is looking at figures for online games. CounterStrike is the most popular online game ever, with more players than the next two games in the online top 10 added together. This would lead me to believe it's quite a lot more than any console game. Of course, online gaming isn't the only way of measuring, but still ...

I guess there's also the fact that console games are more expensive than PC games, or at least, they are here.

Halo 2 made $125 million on day one. Half Life 2 is a huge release, but it'd be pretty hard to beat a sales figure that high.

That was gross. The company didn't acutally make that much money. Although I know several people that are buying Xboxes simply to play Halo2. Waste of time if you ask me. Its going to come out for PC soon :)

Consoles just seem more accesible for buying games... I'm not doubting HL2 is popular (I preordered it myself, and it was the first PC game I've overheard other people actively talking about), but it just seems that consoles seem to be a lot more popular for gaming.

It would be amazing if HL2 beat Halo 2 though... I was particularly unimpressed by the original Halo.

      Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
