Re: Broader Release?
Stars was also published by Empire Interactive which also probably increased those numbers.
The other thing Tim didn't mention is the ridiculous marketing costs required by retailers to put a game into retail. Also publishers normally tack on additional magazine advertising and such.
That's one of the reasons many publishers are moving to consoles versus the PC Market. They make many more sales on the console market that can make up for these issues.
