Portal 2 sells 3 million - Report

annoyingdevil @ The DLC will come but we don't know when. All we know is that it will be this summer. Just remember that they say that only the FIRST DLC will be free! I can't wait for it.

at least Gabe Newell is actually HAPPY with 4 million sales. Not like Activision and EA who arent even happy if thier games only sell a million copies.

What happend to the free dlc.Leaderboards and rooms.

Wtf maybe this is only usa because in my school noone has portal

vALVE software FTW! :D

@frame_dragger Call of Duty runs on a modified ID Tech 3 engine, which was first used I think in 2003. They call it the IW engine, which was first used in COD 2. It's been updated since, but being based on such an ancient game engine, you can see how great the graphical improvements are.

@dynamo11 That engine is far older than 4 years lol

I doubt that includes PC Steam sales

@lakers808 Okay, i'll bite.... have you not seen the new Frostbite engine schooling MW's 4 year old engine?

It was good but it was too damned short for what we paid.

I liked Glados and the ending song better in the first one =P, but portal 2 co-op was extremely well done. veryyyy entertaining to play with a friend, portal one and two are games I would gladly play again!

I was unsure about this game. But after watching the review, I need to get it!!! :D

I'm all for unique games, and i like puzzles. But Portal is one of those that just bore the heck out of me. I tried getting into it a few times but couldn't get passed the repetitive nature of it all. And this is not trolling! It was well done. Just not for me. But I guess now there are two robots to add to this...ahem...puzzle game.

A great game should see good results.

One of the few games I've bought for more than $30 (I'm cheap lol), and it was worth it.

An absolutely outstanding game. They deserve this for putting out such a solid title. And yeah, quite a funny game :D damn I love the portal series.

look at people bringing COD sales nd other stuff into the report,cnt you keep COD outta anything these days??? jeez...............

Portal 2 was extremely funny. Definitely the funniest game I've played this year. I was however very disapointed that they didn't take advantage of the PC's superior computing power. Great game though.

portal is a great puzzle game but not game of the year!

nice game, but needed more something gust like portal 1 =0

Game of the Year,maybe?

Portal is great.

@xtremeflem2day I don't know if I agree with that. Out of the top 10 best selling video games of 2010, four were rated E. Of those four, all were first party Nintendo games, and two were Pokemon. Outside of Nintendo, rated E games don't fare as well as T or M games.

@SkamArtist Just so you know, in the gaming industry, apparently E rated games sell the most, and M rated games sell the least.

Not surprising at all, I love this game!

Definately deserved!

they deserve it.

Valve really needs to develop or buy a new engine and so does infinity ward........call of duty mw3 will be the proof

Portal rules!!! Awesome, lets keep supporting our favorite games so developers continue to invest in excellent games.

@XxCRAFTYxX Also complaining about 'Valve needs new engine'. You know CoD is using the same engine (with upgrades) for every $equel right? Yes, just like Valve. I can understand why most gamers complain about that, but creating engines takes a lot of time and resources, and those costs where already high two platform generations ago.

Damn, and I haven't even bought it yet! So Gabe, just imagine how much success you and Valve will have when the next Half-Life is finally released...*hint*

@pszone what the hell did you just say?

Well when i played half life 2 ep 2 and listening to person create half life he said EPs doe,s not take long to make and been too long for ep3 to come out. But i think plan change i think they doing half life 3 instead know since its takeing a long long time. But well done with vaule portal 2 even ea games dont pub vale games no more so value better off i say.

Good job valve, are they making HL2 Episode 3 yet???

@John_Read Yeah, let's ditch everything Dice has done and just put mod support. That's exactly what we all want, right? Oh, FYI. EA doesn't make the game.

@ Sign-Number-Two Kudos!

This was a triumph...

@P-Ball3179: Well, I see your point I agree, the thing I typed was an opinion, not a fact. I got a bit out of hand. And also thanks for being sincere. I apologize from anyone who was offended or annoyed by my comments. I guess it's my loss not enjoying a product you people did.

It's kinda refreshing to see a game rated E sell this well

@gameking5000 BC2 also don't have mod tools If BF3 will not going to have mod support then EA is more loser than Acti

Kinda hard not to root for Valve. Their games have so much personality, and Steam is a treasure trove for the gaming bargain hunter. I hope they sell a few million more. (Did I mention the 39$ price point and free DLC?)

This is a series that clearly showed development and ingenuity, not stagnation, so I am happy it has sold 3 mil and I hope it will continue selling well. We should all encourage these types of games!

@Sign-Number-Two I don't want to banter back and forth with your per say, because at the end of the day, I will respect your thoughts and opinions. However, you clearly have a misconception of what a "rip-off" is. Valve made the first Portal, hence, Portal 2 is a sequel to their (being Valve) game. So, therefore, anyway you look at it, you can not call it a rip-off. If you you want to call it a replica without much change, I'll concede to that. It is sad, which I will agree, that we have come to the age when games are mostly release at a quick pace for profit, but then again, that is the business world today. Is it the best thing every made, no. Could it be way better, yes. So forth and so on. But people are going to hate on you because you claim fact and revealings of truth, but in truth, you are only typing opinion and nothing more. Good reference though to "Emperor without Clothes".

@P-Ball3179: sorry for answering a bit late. Well, I didn't use IMO because those things are fact, yes, there are games like Oblivion which I think are trash, but I can see why people like them, so I don't hate upon them in the public. But in the other hand, Portal 2 is originally a rip-off and that is a fact. It wasn't very different from Portal 1 which wasn't even a full game. It felt it was a rushed game and a quick money grab, the original Portal and it's mods and maps completely used the potential of this kind of game-play and there was not a need for a sequel. But just as I said, since the game was made by Valve, people felt it's their duty to praise the game as one of the best things ever made. But in the other hand , there are people like me who are not afraid of revealing the truth. The whole thing with Portal 2 and Valve game in general reminds of me that "Emperor without clothes " tale.

@XxCRAFTYxX By the way Call of Duty has nothing to do with EA! It's Activision. Do your homework.

@XxCRAFTYxX B

I loved Portal 2, now lets get some DLC/Harder test chambers

Go Portal! The writing is awesome. @XxCRAFTYxX And COD shouldn't really brag. 25 million copies on 5 platforms? Wii Sports Resort: 26 Million. Wii Sports: 73 Million. Mario Kart Wii: 27 Million. New Super Mario Bros (DS): 25 Million. Never mind how many copies of Mine Sweeper and Solitaire! We are comparing apples and oranges, right? ;)

@ XxCRAFTYxX Just because CoD sells 13.7 million and Portal 2 sells only 3 million doesn't mean they've fallen out of "the competition." That's like saying Donald Trump isn't rich because Bill Gates has more money. 3 million is a great number,and now it's time for that free DLC they mentioned.
