My guess is 3,000-5,000

They also can be spun in various ways.

For mail-order shops, sure, its easy, but the moment you send out stock to put on store shelves, things become complicated.

But it's not over yet.

I'd say, considering they went into new sales channels recently, around 30-35.000 copies could be sold by the end of this year.

I hope I am not overly optimistic :)

Yeah, I know... I'm greedy

Status: offline 		Look at the downloads page to get an idea of active purchases:
Patch 1.10 is 6000 downloads
1.11 is 4000
1.2 3000
1.3 3500
1.4 2800
2.0 9000
2.1 5600
2.11 3900
2.2 3500

So at least 9000, with an active download community of about 4000. Maybe double it at most for purchases who have bought it from shops and don't update it.

so 10000-18000 is a good range, say 15000.

cheers

Rob

Updates performed with True Update wouldn't show there would they?

Status: offline 		In that case Matrix must be very happy with the sales with somewhere between 20000-30000. 10000 within a year is a minimum, but then they have to cut the profit with 2x3 as well.

This is good, it means they will survive and hopefully prosper!

Cheers
