wow thats 71.4 million dollars out of Activison's pocket (roughly $17 dollars profit off each sale per game)
oh top of that we have used sales taking out an few million over time so an game like call of duty loses around $372 million in sales if there is 1 million lost by used and 5.2 million in pirated (add an extra million for the following months.
The sad thing in all of this is that PC gamers are causing its own down fall.
See Developers and Publishers dont see PC as an large share of the market now so dont make games for it or do crappy ports because PC gamers are just pirating all the games so the sales numbers are lower then the console counterparts. So there is an good market for pc if the gamers aren't stealing there games. At least its keeping intel, Amd, Nvidia in business because gamers are there biggest customers.
But it is sad that games isn't half as bad as Movies or Music because games are much larger downloads then an 10 mb song or an 1 gb movie.
Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong
