PC gaming is HARD to track. Plus it is impossible to get information based on digital downloads so PC tracking is practically screwed.

 I always got the impression the guys who run Steam would be willing to talk if there was a way to offer them something worth while. That could just be because I want to think the best of the people who run the service.

the total accounts is completely off but the Xfire stats are real and all that matter. Xfire really isnt a small chat utility. PC userbase is probably more around like 8 - 9m.

Wait... your saying the PC userbase is only 8-9 million? Do you mean just for Call of Duty 4? Or are you not thinking clearly? WoW has 11 million subscribers by itself. There are over a billion PC users in the world, Im sure there are a significant number of those playing games.

Thats right, 1 billion PC's. Wii is small fry.

 



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

last resort was originally called lockout?



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

If the mods did their job and permanently banned all the trolls instead of giving them 800 chances it wouldn't be a problem. All I see are people getting lame 2 day bans all the time. I could name 20 people off the top of my head who shouldn't be posting on this site because they are too stupid to be in contact with other human beings and act normal.

The site is moderated like it's hard-up for new visitors so anybody can stay as long as they don't attempt to kill somebody. Maybe a new approach is needed.  You don't see this happen on certain sites like Gaf for example since they weed out most of the nitwits.

well, maybe PC gamers shouldn't lie *shio* *cough*

 

he actualy doesnt, he is jsut insanely blunt.

 

well, it annoys the hell out of me :P I can picture him talking in a smart-ass tone if you know what I mean.

Like "blah blah, blah, I'm right, your stupid, pc gaming is god lololololololol"

 

I remember him stating that CoD4 was much more successful on pc, I provide a link with the head of Infinity Ward saying the 360 version was the most successful(only 2 months old), yet he still tried to save face.

 

thats the problem, it was old data. COD4 ahoud have easily past the 360 version. PC gaming isnt about the beginning influx of buyers like console games. It isnt about first week sales. It is overall sales. A PC game can still be for sale on shelves or digitally for over 20 years. Each sale is a sale. Console games dont really have that luxury. VC/PSN/XBL is starting to bring back classic games but not in the massive volume that PC has and always will have. PCs 30 years from now will still be able to run classic games like Wolf 3D, Commandor Keen, etc.

I see--so Infinity Ward would find the PC version more successful if it sold seven million in 10 years to the 360's six million in five...

 



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

the topic was about COD4 so its  inclined to the PC version of COD4's userbase is between 8 - 9m.

If you have a problem with people's posts or duplicate topics or whatever, then report them. I'm sick of hearing everyone in here bitching when they won't do anything about it.

 

Maybe its because the reports go unanswered... serioulsy I don't think any of my reports have ever been acted upon or even aknowledged.
