Why is the volume so low? When is the earnings report coming out? What is the estimate?

Scot, The truth is the PC base out there that have 3D cards is accelerating due to the price of the hardware. After all is $125-$200 really that much? Not to mention that almost all new systems are loaded with at least a 2 meg vid card anymore. I tell you what, I am rather amazed at this game. The Electronics Boutique sold out of about 80 copies in the first five hours. What I noticed is that there were people in there buying multiple copies! How often does that happen. Look for Unreal to smash the charts. I say #1 in its first two weeks.

Steep system requirements will cut into sales temporarily but most new systems in the last year or two have included processors over 166mghz and vid cards so it won't hurt them too bad. And those who want to partake in gaming at all are going to have to upgrade beyond 120mghz machines anyway as the whole market is blowing those machines out of the water eventually. When they upgrade then they will probably grab Unreal. I suspect #1 rating in sales soon. My one bugaboo about the game is that it does seem incredibly difficult.
