I'm definitely going with PC-360-PS3.
On a related note, does anyone know why the PS3 version is coming out two weeks later? Standard exclusivity bs, or are they actually making the two console versions different in some way?

Dragon Age is made for PC. It's always easier to port a game between PC and Xbox. PS3 on the other hand is more difficult, and a bad porting job will result in graphical errors, bugs and you name it. I was rather surprised that BioWare was going to release the game on PS3 in the first place.

Has Bioware ever had one of their games come out on the PS3?

There has been only one: MDK2 Armageddon for PS2 exclusive back in 2001, when Interplay was publishing their games. That does not account for anything after over 8 years of changes.

They originally planned, or rather did not deny Mass Effect for PS3, which did not happen due to either lack of time, unprofitable/risky investment or complications. Basically Dragon Age Origins will be BioWare's first ever release on PS3 platform. Given a delay of only two weeks comparing to other platforms, I don't really know how well it will turn out.

Valve tried to step onto the PS platform awhile ago, and now they openly declare that they don't like the PS platform at all and will not plan nor release any game on the PS platform in the foreseeable future.

Because the PS3 is a pain in the rear to develop for. Cell isn't really comparable to a typical CPU, so it takes a lot more than just changing your compiler target in order to get something that runs well (or even runs correctly) on the PS3.

Amiga and Colecovision will be the highest.



PC of course. Toolset rules.

[Teufelnacht]

Thank you sirs. I thought it might be in the programming differences, but I wasn't sure, and I couldn't seem to find anything anywhere else that explained it. At least that's two more weeks of homework and studying that won't get put off. But still...

I think the PC version will sell the most as It's best played on the PC. But theres also gonna be many pirated versions unaccounted for, it's a shame.

I would say that a majority of the 360 crowd will be too busy playing Modern Warfare 2. PC FTW.

[Knights Templar]

Ya i for got about Modern Warfare. I went to buy the CE of DO:A they didn't have it so i got both DO:A and MW2. But rpg fans on the 360 may get both or just DO:A just my thought.

[SheffSteel]

Too close to call. The proportion of gaming PC owners that buy the game will be relatively high, but the number of console owners is much higher.

Because a fair few people have consoles and PCs, EA could sway the balance in either direction - depending on how they publicise the PC system requirements. It's one thing to just publish them, but pointing out that it's relatively undemanding and runs fine on older hardware will encourage PC sales.

I would guess that long term PC sales will be strong relative to the consoles, because (I hope) the mod scene will pick up and wil drive demand. On the other hand, if BW/EA can persuade MS & Sony to make user-generated DLC easier to get hold of, the console demand might also pick up. But on balance, I think people interested in mods will always gravitate towards the PC because you can create as well as play them.

I think the PC version will sell the most, especially in the long term. I mean, when the consoles are long gone, people will still be buying the PC version, if just for nostalgia reasons.

[Darthnemesis2]

I vote for 360, as console RPG gamers a pretty starved for decent PRG products.

even though it was implied...

I tell ya Id rather play games on the PC but I just dont have one good enough to play DAO lol so im stuck with Xbox....

ROFL @ the idea of trying to develop mods on a console. I've seen that suggested before, but only by people who have never done any actual modding >< You need more for most mods than the developer-provided tools and a keyboard -- powerful 2D and 3D graphics apps being the most obvious examples, but some kinds of mods also require hex editors, decompilers and the like.



Anyway, I just learned that the flash game is gonna have two more chapters for pay, so I predict THAT will have the most sales



Seriously, though, I'm not on top of the numbers on platform sales, but I have to say that anybody who has a choice of getting an RPG in PC or console version who chooses console is missing out on an awful lot :/

[Arttis]

I think those developers are clever enough to give the x box a limited tool set.
Maybe the ps3 will come out on top?

With the rampant pirating that is affecting the pc game industry, i figure that the console versions will sell more units.

[Silentplanet]

for a single player RPG on the PC and only a disc check piracy is going to be a big issue. I think 360, PS3 and then PC.

[Mordaedil]

If everyone in the world was 100% informed about the game, knew what they were getting and had a great deal of desire to get it while buying the game, then yes, PC would win, followed probably by X-box 360 and PS3.

In reality, I think X-box 360 version will sell the most copies, but also have the biggest amount of copies on the second hand shelves. PC will come in second purely because PS3's are rarer.



In terms of technology and pure benefits, I have to say the PC and PS3 are superior to the 360 version, judging by what developers have said, especially in the PS3 Gameplay video.

[JTwizzy88]

Just look at some Fallout 3 sales data from last year.

I don't expect the numbers to be so dramatically inclined towards the XBOX for Dragon Age... but still.



EA recognizes this fact too. That's why they delayed the launch of Dragon Age until the console versions were finished. They, at least, recognize that console games (especially xbox360 in N.A.) outsell PC many times over.

I would have to disagree with you there, Although I'm not a fan of MW4 I have a few friends who are and all of them can't wait to play DA:O. SO XBOX 360 sales will definately lead the pack PS3 sales won't be high as PC.
