Good work guys, you did it.

"and the remaining 6% of sales were for the PC version". If this is true, then the petition and the negative publicity might be damaging the sales even more than I expected. thanks for the link, I didn't see it before.

 

 

Since you're the one who's stresses how PC games aren't frontloaded, and that PC games sell for ages vs the frontloaded nature of console sales, I should point out that  6% of the MASSIVE week 1 (9.4M) is 564,000 week 1 sales... based on the fact that PC games have insane legs, that means the PC version could end up selling several million.

I also said that COD4 will sell/sold around 8 -10 millions on PC(big shoes for MW2 to fill ). The fact that it was just banned in Russia (one of the most emerging videogame markets, and PC-centric), and Impulse, Gamersgate, D2D and other DD stores are also boycotting doesn't help MW2's sales.

And I'll say what I've been saying all along: this negative response and word-of-mouth will damage more as the time goes by and the hype and buy-rush dissipates.
