Modern Warfare 2 will not sell 25 million copies. PC owners will torrent the game. The game will sell 10-13 million copies between the PS3 and 360 and PC. My friend who takes games off torrents got Street Fighter IV the other day and said the game is going to sell like shit on PC. I would give PC 1-3 million in sales at the most.

COD4 was always one of the top 5 sold PC games every month until around a year after it was released, and it still kept charting often after. Even now COD4 still sells great - it is currently the 9th best sold action game on Steam, just below SFIV (which is 10th in Top Sellers) which probably makes COD4 the 11th or 12th best sold game on Steam right now. It is also 9th on Impulse, and it was 10th on D2D's Weekly Top10.

The thing is, COD4 has a HUGE success in Digital Distribution Services, something that both The Sims and World of Warcraft games never had, and right now Digital Distribution is bigger than Retail.

Since when did CoD4 sell 8 million on PC??

maybe 8 million pirated, but definately not even close to that in actual sales.

Any proof to back your statement?

Modern Warfare did maybe half of that on the PC. More than that is not possible.
There is evidence from Activision that it didn't sell that well on PC in comparison with the console versions.

No, there isn't.

lol no!  I can see 15 or 16 max for MW2.  And Modern Warware did not sell 8 million on the PC

Show me the figures!

 

It didn't and you know it.  I'm not even gonna bother to find the article saying how many copies total MW has sold cause you'll say something stupid in return.  But hey I bet it got pirated 8 million copies...that makes sense.
