While highest sales don't mean the best. I would have to say COD4 is the second best online FPS. #1 will always be Counter Strike.

 Agreed about CS being #1 online FPS for all platforms.

I think CoD4 is the second best console FPS (not just online) ever though. Goldeneye will always have the top spot in my heart.

NPD reported over 300K alone. That doesn't include Europe or Steam. Like I said it's tracked in the top 10 on Steam since its release, so I would assume it's sold at least another 400K on steam, and probably broken 1 million overall worldwide on PC sales.


I would be suprised if it sold 1mil. This could be the proof that PC gaming is still alive :)

It's alive, it's moving, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, IT'S ALIVE!

 Absolutely deserved, it's a great game. One of the few FPS that are actually caring to bring up something new, not just graphics. Well, yeah, the single player is a bit short, but could be played several time and the multi is spectacular.

 And oh, thank God it's not WWII anymore :P

Well, I don't think there is any real concern that PC gaming is dead. Just a few noisy console developers like Cliffy B. PC sales in NA aren't great, but digital distribution and the European and Asian markets are thriving.

The game is good no doubt about it, but its not great. The online lags like crazy and the weapons suffer from bad hit detection. The bad hit detection even happens in the Single player, as i was playing that last night because the online was fucking me over with lag. I knifed a guy in SP and he turned around and killed me.

I have also been online playing Domination and standing on top of two guys laying down on one of the flags and shooting them with an M60 and they never died. The game also suffers from such a fucked up ping shit its crazy, the faster your net the worse you do, you have a 5ping and the game screws you on every kill while people with a two ping get kills like crazy.

Wow. PS3 version has done well versus 360 version, given install bases.

Hate to cause trouble, but to get the same ratio as 360 hardware to PS3 hardware (about 1.636:1), COD4 on PS3 should have sold about 3.08 million. So, nothing really spectacular about 2.52 million, but it's still a good number.


 While it's true that 360WW base is not twice as much as PS3's WW base factoring in Japan may not be a good idea as they don't seem to like FPS much anyway.  If you remove Japan and just look at NA/others the 360 has over 16 million and the PS3 over 8 million.  So the attach rates are actually right on par given install bases.

Not surprising for me, I knew it would get up there, where I live every 360 owner has COD4

That's odd.  Never had any of those issues on the PC version.  Hopefully those are things that can be fixed with patching.

Very well deserved.

PC is a true heaven for small projects, but big budget games is a totally different story.

thriving you say? hard to agree on that one. if we exclude mmo's there's nothing much left.
