The truth is Acitivision is hidding the real number of PC sales as they are using those profit to fund their secret operations in Area 51.............

There's no reasoning with Shio, don't even try he lives in his own special world( where every game on PC sells million units, piracy has no effect on companies profit at all and billions of games are sold every year on Steam).

Good for you, you just reached douchebag status. You aren't able to post a good counter-argument, so you resort to insults.

Please refute the fact that:

- Call of Duty 4 dominated Steam, D2D and Retail Top Charts for months
- Stalker didn't perform anywhere near COD4 in top charts, but still sold over 2 millions
- Crysis didn't perform anywhere near COD4 in top charts, but still sold 1.5 million in it's first six months

Crysis: Bundled with every enthusiast graphics card for a LONG time.

Stalker: Sold because it was too buggy and people needed the latest patch to play.

Call of Duty 4: just sold well.

 

How does a game sell by being buggy?! Having bugs will cause the opposite, damaging word-of-mouth and sales in the long run.

True that Crysis no doubt sold alot bundled with GPUs, but I don't think it was bundled any longer than COD4 was - Crysis Warhead did come out much sooner than World at War did, which probably affected the bundling with GPUs.

IActually, I forgot about the bundled sales of COD4 with GPUs, which would give a few more sales to COD4.

Again, my point was that both Stalker and Crysis did not do anywhere near COD4 in top charts, yet both are probably over 2 millions and maybe even trying to get to 3 millions each. How would the figures of COD4 compare to them?
