Black Ops had over 4 milllion copies pirated in PC tracked in one torrent site. How many copies Black Ops sold in PC??? VGC show just 1.5 million copies sold for PC. The 95% is reliable for any PC game. Anyway torrent is just a small part of piracy. |
VGChartz's ability to track PC sales (even ignoring digital) has proven very poor in the past. Crytek says that Crysis 1 sold 3.5m on PC, VGChartz has it at 0.68m. Metro 2033 sold over 1 million on PC, VGC 0.17. Diablo 3 8.8m, VGC 2.62. BioShock 1m+ (6 months after launch), VGC 0.31. The Sims 3 10m+, VGC 2.64. Really none of VGC's numbers line up with any official numbers for games.
Half-Life 2 sold 12 million on PC, are we really going to consider the possibility that 240m people pirated it?
