I'm not going to bother with sources.  I've showed you them all before.  They have released numbers on many occasions which only left 1-3 million possible for the PC version.  You know this.  You just can't accept it and instead make wild assumptions based off of rankings in a few digital distribution rankings.  No hard figures, no hard facts, all speculation.

No, they didn't. This was debunked already.

When they released that COD4 sold 7 millions it was only the sales of a few select countries. Consoles only had sold around 5 millions in those countries, leaving 2 millions for PC, and we are not even counting the PC sales of dozens of PC-centric countries that weren't included AND digital sales.

Robert Bowling and the internet claims that COD4 PC sold 1.5m units, and MW2 PC outsold that number in its first week.

Do some research. Robert Bowling was only talking about the first week of sales of MW2 PC in the UK. The guys that thought he was talking about worldwide sales were wrong. I remember what he said because I was browsing the IW forums and that thread in which he replied to long before it was made news by gaming websites.

No one claims COD4 PC sold 1.5 millions. The guy at ve3d isn't even sure of himself when he said that: "... if I recall correctly.". Infact, he is the only guy I ever heard saying that COD4 PC sold 1.5 millions, I can't think of anyone or anywhere else that claimed that.

Unfortunately for Bowling, the sales of MW2 PC dropped like a stone in UK:

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

MW2 dropped way faster than COD4:

1st Week: 8th
2nd Week: 13th

A huge difference.
