I don't think some people realize the fact that the 87K sales figure for November was for US only. This 1 million figure is overall sales, and since the data is from EA, they probably included the online sales through the EA store (or whatever it's called) as well.
So, considering these things...
It isn't very believeable, that's true.
Originally, Crytek wanted to have China's army as the enemy, but they had to change it due to political reasons. I can't remember at the moment where I read this, probably one of the many interviews.
China would have made sense, since they really are...
If anyone's interested, here's a video that shows the first 5 or so minutes of the demo (and the game, since this is the first level).

I think it's great :)
There's a video of a newer build of Crysis, showing some neat new things.
The footage is off-screen, so it's not the best in terms of quality, but still quite good.

Just to let everyone know, all of the footage shown in those two videos is over a year old.
The DX10 they were showing back then was emulated on DX9 hardware, so it's quite pointless to use these videos to make any sort of judgement.
We may see a more updated version at a later date, once...
No, that particular video was never meant to be released. The footage is months old, and doesn't represent the current state of Crysis; and the aliens were meant to be a big surprise.
It would be appreciated if people didn't spread the video.
That is exactly what they meant. Zero-g in singleplayer is one of the interesting parts of Crysis, and a key element of the alien ship environment. Crytek just won't be making any zero-g multiplyer maps themselves, but the community is free to make as many as they wish.
Here's the statement...
There aren't very many PC games which ship with co-op, and there is alreay a mod in the works for Crysis (Obsidian Edge 2) which will have co-op to my knowledge. :)
As for zero-g environments, that would be awesome to see in multiplayer, but as long as there are map-makers out there willing...
Sort of new video:

It's old, but this one has better quality.
The video goes through all of the suit modes, including camouflage, and shows a few neat little things.
Really though, the only similarities between FarCry and Crysis are the setting and the developers.
Even then, Crysis will include the jungle, a frozen jungle, and a zero-g environment inside the alien ship.
The nanosuit and weapon customization also provide a lot of choices, and the 'Power...
Some more tech videos :)

Not as good as the first batch of tech videos in my opinion, but still interesting.
There's been quite a lot of new information and media in the last few weeks.
1. Gamespot has a "Crysis Designer Diary (part 1)", in which Harald Seeley from Crytek talks about Crysis and CryENGINE 2.

2. With the designer diary came a direct feed version of the...
Nomadski has summarized a brand new 7 page Crysis preview from the EDGE magazine. There's some interesting information in here:
Sorry for the wall of text, but I encourage everyone to read it.
Gametrailers has two new videos which demonstrate the Level Editor. The videos are both available in HD, and are quite lengthy as well (7-9 min).
