Is this what happens when people decide to boycott?

MW2's sales are hurt? If it goes on to be the multiplatform FPS version of Halo, then what does this say? Anyone have any clue when Halo 3 is due to hit the PC? Activision may decide to just flat out forget the PC for future versions of the MW series.

I was strictly talking about the PC version. And either way the sales were hurt. How else would you explain the vertiginous drop in sales of the PC version?

Using your reasonning the console version sold terrible too seeing how sales dropped 80% week 2....

It's called being frontloaded and MW2 is evidently more frontloaded than Cod4 as the first numbers we have demonstrate...

 

The depth to which you guys will go to try to convince yourself your boycott had any effect is quite pathetic...

So the MW2 is more frontloaded, but has much lower sales in the rest of it's lifetime... that tells me that MW2 is doing much worse than COD4, because over 90% of sales are AFTER the first week of release.

I also am a bit puzzled by your excuse because MW2 seems to have barely outsold COD4 in the first week, yet MW2 dropped 15 places in week while COD4 only dropped 5 places:

Modern Warfare 2 PC dropped like a stone! The boycott and negative press is definitely hurting MW2.

For Comparison:

Call of duty 4
1st Week: 8th
2nd Week: 13th

Modern Warfare 2
1st Week: 5th
2nd Week: 20th

 

The most important part is that, even though Modern Warfare is exclusive to Steam in the Digital Distribution market, it already lost 1st place on Steam to L4D2. As I recall, it took months for COD4 to lose 1st place, and even then COD4 was being sold in other DD services AND was also dominating Direct2Drive.

Again, I'm talking about the PC version. But overall, even with the console versions success, the truth is MW2 is suffering from bad decisions made by Infinity Ward. They are losing sales on the PC version, regardless of the console versions sales.
