Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 sales on PC disappointing

 

 

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is an absolute smash hit on the consoles. Currently, both the Xbox 360 and PS3 version sales are in the millions in the US alone. However, it seems like the PC platform did not perform as well as its console brethrens.

According to Kotaku, Gamasutra managed to squeeze out the PC sales figures for COD: MW2 from NPD and it looks bleak. The game managed to sell approximately 170k on the PC at retail. This figure does not account for Steam purchase. Considering the active players via Steam, one can estimate that about 100k purchases have been made online at the minimum.

Regardless, the once mighty PC sales for the popular Call of Duty franchise have dramatically dwindled. I wonder how much impact the boycott had on the sales of PC version. It will be interesting to see if PC sales will eventually pick up later on.

I think this may be downright false. I mean, they had announced after the first week that something like just under 6% of their total sales had been on PC, and that was just under 6% of like 10 million copies. Which means PC sold at least 550k in the first week alone, let alone first 3 weeks. so either Steam sales were amazing right out of the gate, or I call shenanigans.

That would be right for worldwide, but this is only for NPD data (NA).
