I don't think so. I don't remember the details, but shio was very happy about the game's rapidly decreasing steam ranking after its release. He will come and tell it soon anyways. |
Yes and no. MW2 was 1st in it's launch week but it lost 1st place to Left 4 Dead 2 right after, for a couple of weeks. But now it has returned to the top spot on Steam.
What we can easily guess though is that it's sales on Steam are nowhere near as solid as Call of Duty 4's, when compared to the other steam games. I don't remember COD4 ever losing the top spot as soon as MW2 did (although it took L4D2 to do it). Last weekend, MW2 was completely outsold by Counter-Strike: Source's 75% Off deal (only $5), and MW2 gave away the top spot for 4 days. It means Counter-Strike: Source outsold MW2 by over 12-to-1 every day for 4 days.
If MW2 is doing better than COD4 did initially on Steam, it's because Steam is far bigger than when it was 2 years ago and currently allows for more people to buy it.

It's actually the other way around. Since the retail version has all the benefits of the steam version, why even buy it through steam when you can just get it on retail at the same price? You even get the box and DVD.
